    popped over to Carnforth today, just in time to see a BR green class 37 arrive from the Barrow branch, anyone know from whence it came?, it was towed by 47580.

    I'm not sure where it originated from but I saw the same passing through Skipton earlier this afternoon - around 15:00.

    I know this may be a daft question, but wouldn't it have been easier to take the painters to the loco rather than the loco to the painters? (Or does Carnforth have some sort of hi-tech paint shop?)

    Carnforth's paint shop was available and NRM's has a coach in at the moment. The work at WCRC is first class by the way.
