Aunque las últimas 75 EE Type 3 se entregaron después del debut de la nueva 'imagen corporativa' de British Rail en Brush Type 4 D1733 en mayo de 1964, las 309 locomotoras fueron superadas en Vulcan Foundary en verde BR. A pesar de su relativa juventud, los repintados en el nuevo esquema azul no eran infrecuentes antes de 1970 y un número no insignificante ganó flechas dobles y números del alfabeto ferroviario en los cuatro lados de la cabina. D6992 fue el ejemplo con el número más alto y se registró en esta variación de librea, todavía con el número de prefijo D, en la segunda mitad de 1969, solo cuatro años después de debutar en 86A Cardiff Canton en julio de 1965 para trabajos de carga. Fue redesignado como 37292 bajo TOPS y se mudó a Eastfield y luego a Motherwell en 1981, y luego recibió un 12CSVT experimental mejorado de 2,000 hp el mismo año. Increíblemente, esta locomotora todavía está con nosotros e incluso apareció en nuestra primera producción como DRS 'Regional Railways' repintado 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.
