Obwohl die letzten etwa 75 EE Type 3 nach dem Debüt des neuen „Corporate Image“ von British Rail auf der Brush Type 4 D1733 im Mai 1964 ausgeliefert wurden, wurden alle 309 Lokomotiven von Vulcan Foundary in BR-Grün ausgelagert. Trotz ihres relativ jungen Alters waren Umlackierungen in das neue blaue Schema vor 1970 keine Seltenheit, und eine nicht unerhebliche Anzahl erhielt Doppelpfeile und Rail-Alphabet-Nummern auf allen vier Fahrerhäusern. D6992 war das Exemplar mit der höchsten Nummer und wurde in dieser Lackierungsvariante – immer noch mit der vorangestellten D-Nummer – in der zweiten Hälfte des Jahres 1969 aufgenommen, nur vier Jahre nach seinem Debüt bei 86A Cardiff Canton im Juli 1965 für Frachtarbeiten. Es wurde unter TOPS in 37292 umbenannt und 1981 nach Eastfield und dann nach Motherwell verlegt, später erhielt es im selben Jahr einen experimentellen, leistungsgesteigerten 12CSVT mit 2.000 PS. Unglaublicherweise ist diese Lokomotive immer noch bei uns und erschien sogar in unserer ersten Produktionsserie als DRS 'Regional Railways' Heritage Repaint 37425.

Class 37 - BR Blue pre-TOPS

As expected the locomotive worked perfectly when placed on the track, certainly looks the part with a rake of 15 MDO's behind.
