The thing that I find ultimately good, is not just the fact that you are posting videos, but that you are constantly promoting the good work of the Museum of Scottish Railways, whatever the job entails. Just wanted to say that your uploads are very much appreciated. All the best, Phil in Germany!
Nice big bright workshop with all the right equipment, great. Time to put the lifting slings on the set of bogies. One of the team can't quite reach the one he wants so he grabs an old broom that looked like it had been around for decades, gets the sling he wanted, job done. Brilliant. Thank for sharing. Will you be showing how the work progresses ? Thanks again.👍👍
The loco's body shell has been repainted into BR Blue over the last few weeks to make it more presentable as an exhibit next to the public pathway. Thanks for your comment.
Jings, they can almost do anything related to trains at the Bo'ness yard. However much of the work requires that they work as team and do not rush anything. Safety first and foremost at all times. Everyone wants to go home that evening, everyone wants to see their family. Nobody wants to have to call for an ambulance, which is something that can happen all too easily somewhere like this if you don't take the time to think about things properly or if you don't really know or understand what it is that you are doing.
Thanks for your comments Neil. The team performing the move were all briefed with the lift plan before hand. Some times it doesn't go to plan with tight old bogies not wanting to move. We are constantly risk assessing any changes in the plan.
Spent many years working on 37's at Immingham TMD useful old Loco , use to have fractures on bogie headstocks ,we had to crack test them on exams (only the fabricated bogie not cast ones I think ) I never found any cracked though . Do you have any refurbished loco's with alternators fitted ,we had few at imm , worked really well they had electronic load reg and diverts controlled by rev tell on No 5 wheel set (rather than vane motor load reg ). Had them in multi on the iron ore flow to Scunthorpe ,didn't work well together some times as they were on their limit up Santon bank , signaller knew not to stop them on wet rail , never get moving again . Once you got pair that worked well together they never got split up , sometimes they would try go opposite direction in multi ( elecy got wire 7 8 mixed up in jumper )
The jacks work using a screw thread turned by an electric motor, they are not hydraulic, so there is no risk of them failing . We used them to lift units when I was at heaton. They come in sets of four connected by electric cables so when they lift all four lift together, we used to call them hywima lifts or sommers lifts. Big heavy things to move around. They have a set of wheels that you jack up to move them but they must be set down on solid floor before you use them to lift a carriage or locomotive.
I got to travel behind one of your locomotives about two weeks ago on the nymr . 403 Isle of Mull, beautiful machine. Does she have a mainline ticket on her?.

Mike, We don't have space to store the traction motors so the best place for now is under the loco. The traction motors on the removed bogies will be removed by the contractor who refurbishes them. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks for your comment. The original plan was to scrap the loco after component recovery in 2018 but I'm not sure what the Scottish 37 group now have in mind.
I think it's getting on for 10% of the class are preserved or being preserved, which on the numbers produced is quite considerable. Some classes have no examples for us to enjoy?!
Тепловозы маленькие какие то. В сравнение с 2тэ116 и 3тэ10. И сроду не думал что замена тежек на столько трудоемкей чем чем в россии. Да и маевровых тепловозов таких в первые вижу такие, у нас даже чмэ1 не найти даже в запасах

Visited here back in the summer and wondered what they will do with poor 37214. Weather is similar down here in Cornwall I can assure you.

Looks like the loco is going for scrap in 2023 unless the Scottish 37 group change their mind.

Oh wow! - bring that wonderful beast back to life!
There is not much wonderful left on that piece of scrap. They have cannibalized this unit for a lot to keep the other one they have running.
Worked on thease in eastleight
So what happening to the spares 37..scrap or rebuild..?
The spares 37 will be scrapped.
Thanks for commenting Paul.
Looks like a fantastic facility akin to Kidderminster TMD
It is. Thanks for your comment.
Grande profissional da mecânica ferroviário parabéns pelo vídeo 👏👏👏
Obrigado por seus comentários. Thank you.
Very good
Thanks for your comment.
Impressive crane work. Dropped the bogie direct onto the rails. Wonder if they've done it before? !!
Crane work controlled by myself.
Thanks for your comments.
Wow wonderful my friend 🙏
Thanks for your kind comment.
Good bro
Thank you.
Amazing👍
Thank you.
Did i see men underneath the surpended loco on the jacks very unsafe !!!!!!
Point taken.Thanks for commenting.
Very interesting.
Are the jacks electric? Was that a genset I could hear in the background?
Simon, The Matterson Jacks are electric driven to a screwed thread. The background noise is the class 08 shunter running outside the new shed.
The jacks work using a screw thread turned by an
electric motor, they are not hydraulic, so there is no risk of them failing . We used them to lift units when I was at heaton.

The loco is still mainline certified and will be running on SRPS Railtours this year.

The future of 37214 is in the hands of its owners who are the Scottish 37 group.

How to get a job in this railway
All of the people involved in this locomotive lift are volunteers at The Scottish railway Preservation Society at Bo'ness.
Can't be tight if it's liquid
I've meant to ask- is visiting the yard permitted?
Yard visits can be arranged via the SRPS office.
@@BONESS27001 Cheers, will do.
Good! No bullshit commentary and added noise (music?).
Thank you

I don't like speaking on videos, sorry.

The true meaning of heavy metel.
Well having watched this video i can see 37214 is pretty much dead 😢😢 shame love Boness railway
I don't like to see this as it reduces the amount of 37s left alive why not refurbish the old ones in stead of robbing other locomotive for parts .
Sorry Alistair but sometimes you need to give up on some locos to keep the others running.
I think it's getting on for 10% of the class are preserved or being preserved, which on the numbers produced is quite considerable. Some classes have no examples for us to enjoy?!
I can see what you are saying but when does it stop when you have one left .
I am not knocking the railway, it happens at other operators that use the class, it's just a shame the numbers are getting fewer.

Preserving a locomotive is very very expensive.
