   37187 is at the front of the 1Z26 08.00 Hertfordshire Railtour from St Pancras. We'd already been to the British Leyland sidings on the Highworth branch from Swindon dragged by 08849. Now we were visiting the Cranmore and Merehead lines in Somerset top and tailed with 37187 and 37189. Surprisingly this tour kept pretty much to time and we had an hour at Cranmore to visit the railway centre and see some of artist David Shepherd's paintings.
