Network Rail Yellow Coaches

[Ard Lochan]

While waitng for a train at Helmsdale station on the far north line I seem to remember that parked on the passing loop were a rake of three yellow `Improving your Railway` coaches that were topped and tailed by a pair of Colas class 37`s. Can anyone verify this, Reason being I have a pair of Colas 37`s and four Network coaches so would be more authentic than buying a yellow loco, Regards, Ard.

May be Colas Rail Frieght were asked to do the Job for Network Rail???

Can't verify your sighting but in 2015, Colas commenced operating infrastructure trains for Network Rail and to do those roles they bought four Class 37's... one of which is pictured below and can be seen on videos on YouTube.

So the formation is legitimate if that is exactly what you are asking.

Not 37's, but Colas -
