37033
Although originally allocated to Hull Dairycoates from new in March 1962 as D6733 this loco once transferred to March would often be found on passenger services out of Liverpool St. to Cambridge & Kings Lynn.

A brief spell at both Motherwell & Inverness before being called to works for conversion to 37719 and transfer to Cardiff Canton and the Metals pool. Eventually cut up by EMR at Kingsbury in January 2008.
Waiting its next turn 37033 sits at Eastfield depot on 26th February 1984, and judging by the lack of steam pipe on No. 2 end, would be exempt from winter passenger duties.
