    A video of Class 37214 having a double bogie swap at Bo'ness on 17th July 2022.
    Two accommodation bogies were purchased by the STG a few weeks ago.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    Did 37214 suffer some kind of terminal mechanical issue? It was reinstated in 2005 working some services on the KWVR then did a couple of Royal Scotsman (presumably when it picked up its WCRC livery) turns then theres a 7 year gap on the Class 37 website (although I can find other pictures in that gap) before it is allocated to WCRCs Non Active pool.
