Farewell 37508 and 50017!

After years of faithful service to Railway Timelines Limited, the company waves goodbye to Class 37 No. 37508, and Class 50 No. 50017 'Royal Oak', which have been returned to their owners in favour of newer RTL-owned locomotives. This is a compilation of clips featuring the two engines during their time with RTL (Or at least the small portion in the time since I started recording these). For those interested, I'll explain how I ended up using these two very real IRL engines in the first place and why I'm letting them go. Back when I first started RTL in 2020, one of my proudest pet projects was the Coronation Scot set, where I used the DTG 6229, 50017, and a set of Coronation Scot liveried Mk1s I reskinned myself to recreate the planned Coronation Scot railtour set which resulted in 6229 being re-streamlined and 50017's Coronation Scot livery, which it carried in the 2000s. Later on I realised I couldn't do diesel drags because of the way Armstrong Powerhouse diesel locomotives interact with vacuum braked stock, so I swapped it for the Prototype Deltic which I reskinned to match. 50017 kept its LMS livery, but a blue version that I made to match the Blue Pullman livery Mk2 stock. More on that later. After that stopped and 50017's livery changed to one voted for by my Board, I realised while driving it for the Master Cutler that a single 50 really wasn't powerful enough for what I was asking it to do, its top speed plateauing at 87mph, impressive but no faster than the Class 92 which was electronically limited to that speed. I needed something with more power, and I've since found one, a Class 68, which you'll be seeing in a couple videos time. RTL's had a revolving door of 37s over the years, this one I landed on because both it and 37422 were in storage at the time. 508, at the time 37606, hadn't made a public appearance in years and 422 was in limbo after completing the Railhead Treatment Train season, so I snapped both of them up and asked someone to reskin them into Blue Pullman Nanking Blue for the aforementioned Blue Pullman train, alongside the Coronation Scot Blue 50. After the livery vote that year, I was unable to do the combination of livery and name I wanted, and then found out that what had been 37606 had been refurbished at Burton-on-Trent as 37508 in Railfreight Grey livery. So after finding a reskin for it I ran with it. The Blue Pullman train was scrapped shortly after due to lacking matching locos for it and I overhauled the RTL sets at the same time. Time passed and while thinking about replacing the 50, I considered the other "real" engines I had on the list. 37508 had returned to traffic by this point, so I was keen to replace that too, and 422 if something similar happened to that (at the time of writing, it hasn't). This led me to setting up two new 37s and the aforementioned Class 68 to replace the real locos, and so 37508 and 50017 could be taken off the list so I didn't have to worry about it anymore. At the time of writing, 37422 will remain part of the fleet until something happens to it that will make me decide otherwise. The details are in the RTL Discord server if you want to know more.
