50037 cab
We have acquired the number 2 end cab off 50037. It was previously purchased from MC Metals and taken to the SRPS at Boness. Its planned restoration was never completed and hence it became available for disposal. The main reason for purchase is to acquire its contents for spares and re-use but it is destined for restoration and mobile display in the future.

Faulty auxiliary generator armature at Dowding and Mills April 2010
As reported elsewhere on the website, early in 2010 RRRG were fortunate enough to secure a partially overhauled complete ETH/Auxiliary Generator set which will be used in Renown. The main problem with the set was that the auxiliary armature had an internal fault that was deemed to be beyond economic repair. As such the decision was taken to replace the defective armature with an ex-Class 37 example whilst we still had the chance. The defective machine is seen at Dowding and Mills in the process of being loaded.

Loading duff armature 23/04/2010 at Bowers
The unserviceable aux gen armature was collected from Dowdings and taken to Booths for disposal, being traded for the superior condition ex-Class 37 one we had stored there. The aux gen in a 37 is exactly the same as that in a 50. The Booths one was taken to Dowdings where the unit will be re-assembled for further storage pending overhaul for use in 50029. The defective armature is seen here being forklifted into RRRG member Steve Tripp's van on 23rd April 2010.

Class 37 exhauster at Bowers April 2010
On the same day one of the ex-Booths class 37 exhausters is seen having had its initial cleaning. The plan is to use this machine along with a poor condition spare class 50 exhauster, to make one good overhauled Class 50 machine.
