    I am not clear about this article. I understand from the title that DRS is disposing of some locos but there is no text to confirm either that this means all 37s and 47s or just those featured in the photographs. However it has to be said that the existence of the article at all does promote conjecture. Presumably replacements will be 68s so does that mean 68s on the flasks or 66s being transferred over so that the likes of the Daventry to Wentloog Tescoliner can finally go over to 68s.
