Oldest in the convoy, 31128 CHARYBDIS (D5546, Brush, August 1959, re-engined August 1965) of Nemesis Rail, led the formation.


37703 (also bearing 37067 on this side), was recently sold by DRS to Harry Needle Railroad Company, and some observers advise that it may become a spares source. (D6767, EE Vulcan Foundry, November 1962). Formerly on loan by DRS to the SRPS Diesel Group.
