What does the Class 37 bodyside pipe wording say?

Hi,

I'm trying to find out what the wording circled in the pic below says. They're on all class 37s but you can't read it unless you get close up. Anyone ever seen it/know what it says/taken pics of it please?

Hello Tom,

I asked similar questions of Brian Daniels and his reply was interesting... "I am not sure about some of them"... and "there might not be a notice there...". Here are some photos of the two CL37s at Cheddleton, unfortunately the notices are not always readable.














As I was able to access only one side of the locos there is a good chance that the notices on the other side are different - in position, number and grouping.

regards, Graham

Both sides are not the same and variations exist between different sub classes.

Thank you Mick,

Whilst I had the feeling that the notices differed in position / grouping between the two sides of an engine what I had not suspected before was that the wording appears to change and that there might be different signs across the various sub-classes.

Seems to be a good subject for some study of the prototypes.

regards, Graham
