    The way Colas have been snapping up class 37's recently I can see these going for top money regardless of condition.

    Since Colas won the Network Rail test train contract from DB Schenker last year they seem to prefer to use their own locos rather than hire in DRS 37s as DBS did. NR test trains seemed to be the bread and butter job for 37/6s.
