Red face Loco's

First Scotrail have loco hauled regularley for their Sleeper service. At the moment it is class 37/4 haulage provided by EWS, but these are about to be replaced by the class 67's.

Also DRS is still using lots of older traction. They now have more class 37's operational than EWS, which they totally had re-vamped by Brush down in Loughburugh. Plus they also still use class 20's but these are usually on Rail head treatment trains and specials. They also have some 47's and until recently class 33's.

Fragonset Merlin railways have also many of the older types. They still use class 31's/33's and 47's. They have recently repainted 2 of the class 47's vor the Pullman set, with a 3rd rumoured to have been in the works for the same finish. The class 31's and 33's are usually used for tour workings, expecially on the Cathedrals Expresses.

West coast Railway company also have 37's/47's and a 57, but they again are usually used on tours and specials.

And Harry Needle Rail company has several class 37's, but more interestingly class 20's, which are seen alot on the main network as a pair doing specails, but also other work such as been thunderbirds and netwok rail work.

(And sorry for the long list)
