| Peter F.

| Mick37 | 28th May 2004 13:40 | Hi all - us three members who joined in February are arranging a local meeting to discuss the way forward for the group. This will take place next Saturday at 2pm in The Swan in Colchester. I'm posting here because I've not been able to get through to Peter by email, or at least I've not had any replies. See you there, Peter, guys? |
| JamesD6700 | 28th May 2004 13:52 | Count me in. |
| SlugThrash | 28th May 2004 15:06 | ill be there for a few pints mate ! |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th May 2004 15:42 | We would liket to make it clear that Members are not alowwed to hold meeting without express permision of the Founder Member and that any Members who do will be out . |
| Mick37 | 28th May 2004 17:25 | Well 'scuse me for breathing! If you'd been bothered to answer my emails you'd have seen that we've been asking for a meeting for two months now. How are we supposed to find out what's going on, let alone help? There's nothing been posted here since we joined apart from that godawful "April Fool" and stuff about you moving house. |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th May 2004 17:37 | You have sent lots of emails asking about ,confidental stuff that I am not permitted to explain for security reasons .That is why i have not sent you any replys .You aslo should not be using this news forum without express permision |
| Mick37 | 28th May 2004 17:43 | Confidential stuff? I wanted to know how much the fund was at and whether you'd had any luck with E.W.S. yet. When we met at the diesel gala you told us you were already in discussions with Sales and would keep us informed. So far, you've said nothing! We asked for a meeting so that we could see what we might be able to do to help. |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th May 2004 17:47 | I am still negotating with EWandS there is ,no need to meet up there is nothing you can do to help . |
| SlugThrash | 28th May 2004 17:55 | well ive just had an interesting chat with my mate who works in disposals and he says theres been no contact from any "37 traction group" and that anyway no 37/4s are for sale. if your negotiating how come he doesnt know about it???? |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th May 2004 17:59 | I am in touch with the very senior people at EWandS and they are very interested in my plans .What your friend says is irelevent .It is non of your bisness . |
| SlugThrash | 28th May 2004 16:03 | irrelevant? you f*****g t**t !!!! my mate works for the disposals f*****g manager - you trying to tell me thats not senior enough ???? you d**khead !!! i said this a******e was a w****r didnt i ???? f**k your crappy group you c**t. |
| Mick37 | 28th May 2004 16:05 | What do you mean, "non [sic] of your bisness [sic]"? We've paid our membership fees, so I think it's exactly our business what you're doing with our money. And by the way, your spelling is atrocious. |
| SlugThrash | 28th May 2004 16:07 | leave it mick hes a w****r |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th May 2004 16:09 | We would like to announce that the person who calls himself ,slugthash is no longer a member of 37 Tracion Group and that if anyone does the same as him they will aslo be out . |
| Mick37 | 28th May 2004 16:12 | I think I concur with SlugThrash (by the way, you even spelt that wrong). Waste of a tenner, but you live and you learn. So long and good luck. |
| JamesD6700 | 28th May 2004 18:01 | Looks like I've missed all the fun - is this true, about Peter doing nothing? |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th May 2004 19:09 | IMPORTANT ANOUNCENENT 37 Traction Group is suspended due to technical difficultys . |

| Peter F. Wilson | 11th Oct 2004 08:20 | 37 TRACTION GROUP REOPENED .We have some impotent news to anounce .The groups Founder Member Peter F. Wilson visited the Barow Hill steam gala ,at Barow Hill and met with loco owner Henry Sharp who was much more frendly than he expected .Mr Sharp is selling some 37's and our Founder Member asked how much and Mr Sharp said between 30 ,and 35 ! This means we can buy own 37 imediatly ! as we have 260 in the funds (two members have joined who can be trusted not like those from Coalchester) .I have told Mr Sharp we will have one .He looked very happy at this idea . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 13th Oct 2004 17:44 | we are now changing our name to the 37 Tractor Group becase it will stop confusion with the old group .We are now officially not going to buy 37401 and 37428 becase of Mr Sharps offer . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 16th Oct 2004 19:00 | We have visited Barow Hill again today to look at all Mr Sharps 37s .Unfotunetly he wasent there but we could see them all from the big mound and some of them look brilliant .I have emailed Mr Sharp to see which ones he will sell us / |
| Peter F. Wilson | 16th Oct 2004 19:02 | here are some pictures of them they are 37382 37397 37389 37395 this has green sheet on it .
 |
| Peter F. Wilson | 19th Oct 2004 09:23 | Mr Sharp has emailed back and said we can have any from 37382 37389 37395 or 37397 ,for 30 each and he will get them overhalled in the price ! We are really tempted to buy all four as we have enough money but we will still have to buy spares so maybe we will just have two . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 23rd Oct 2004 15:25 | Mr J Wilson has made a substantal donation to our funds and we now have 760 in the funds which is a big ,diffrence and will help a lot with spares . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th Oct 2004 09:10 | WE HAVE DECIDED ! We are going to buy 37382 and 37397 of Mr Henry Sharp and get him to overhall them for us so that we will be able to hire them to FRAGGONSET or COSTWOLD RAIL strait away .We now have to decide what colour we will paint them and get some paint becase they are both in railfriehgt livry now and could do with a new coat ,as they are faded .Founder Member Peter F. Wilson has suggested that they should be painted in two shades of green like when they were built and like the deltics what are aslo at Barow Hill becase they would look good in a photo . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th Oct 2004 18:20 | Some other member's have said that 37's did not have two shades of green when they were built but they are wrong . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 28th Oct 2004 07:20 | Some other member's want to paint our 37's in large loco livry with scoty dogs .Founder Member Peter F. Wilson has said this would be an idea to becase he has now seen some pictures ,on the internet of some 37's with big BR arrows and big numbers this is large loco livry .if we go for large loco livry we will need to put names on the locos like they had in BR days . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 3rd Nov 2004 21:23 | We have phoned Mr Sharp about buying 37382 and 37397 and he sounded very happy about it becase he was laughing .He is really frendly not what people say .We have also emailed him asking him when can we start painting the 37's and he said that we could paint them as soon as he got our money for them .I am going to write an offical cheque from the fund later and it will be posted tomorow .We are also getting some nameplates done for the loco's . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 2nd Dec 2004 08:46 | Today we will be sending our check to Mr Sharp becase we have foudn the cheque book at last it was in a box that was still packed from moving house .this means Mr Sharp will get our money tomorow and we will be able to start this weekend . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 3rd Dec 2004 18:33 | We posted the check yesterday and so Mr Sharp will have got it today what means that we now have two 37's !!!!!!! Founder Member Peter F. Wilson said that the 37 Tractor group is now one of the best groups and that the abusive people ,from coalchester were wrong about what they said about the Founder Member .We have now got some paint from B+Q . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 3rd Dec 2004 18:52 | We have been looking at the internet and seen some picture of 37's in other livrys that we might paint them instead .Some 37's have been in load hall and some have been in intercity so we might do them in these instead of large loco . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 3rd Dec 2004 20:54 | I have got more paint from B+Q just in time becase it closes at half eight .We are now going to paint the 37's in intercity . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 3rd Dec 2004 21:14 | tomorow we will start painting at Barow hill and on sunday when we have finished we will put both 37's in the Deltic shed for some photo's with the deltics .we will start tomorow at about 11 oclock becase the Founder Member has got to get to Barow Hill from Derby that is quite a long way . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 3rd Dec 2004 22:23 | Mr J Wilson has found blue paint in the garage and a picture of 37417 in regonal railways and it looks good so we will now paint 37382 and 37397 in regonal railways . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 4th Dec 2004 09:18 | WE NOW HAVE NAEMPLATES !!!!!!! The name plates for our 37's have turned up just before ,we are setting of for Barow Hill !!! So we will be taking them and sticking them on the loco's today when the painting is done .there is only one ,problem and that is when we ordered them we forgot that the group was now 37 Tractor group not class 37 traction group (now "defunc") but we can fix that with some paint . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 4th Dec 2004 22:09 | Restration Report !!!!! This is the first restration report from the 37 Tractor group .We have been to Barow Hill to work on the 37's we have bought of Mr Henry Sharp .All 4 Members could not come becase ,my father Mr J Wilson is going on holiday today so there were only three who came to help and we first had a discussion over what colour to paint them .We decided to try different ones to see which looked ,best and becase 37397 was easier to get to we chose that one .It was very cold and the paint took ages .Some of the other people at Barow Hill did not belive that we had bought them off Mr Sharp and were trying to ring him to find out but he must of been out .Tomorow I will take Mr Sharps email's and then they will belive us .we got some sticky fixers from the newsagent on the way but the name plates wooden stay on so we will have to get some super glue or araldite instead .We aslo went to see the deltics and said that we should put the 37's in the shed with the deltics but the deltic people said they were busy even though all there ,locos were in bits and non where moving .We have decided that we will build our own shed at Barow Hill .We decided that if we are going to hire the 37's to FRAGGONSET or COSTWOLD RAIL we will need to make a "corporeal livry" so that people no whose ,engines they are .Founder Member Peter F. Wilson is going to design this livry and we will paint it on tomorow . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 4th Dec 2004 22:12 | here is 37379 after we painted it to test the colers .
 |
| Peter F. Wilson | 5th Dec 2004 07:41 | We now have a corporeal livry what will be used on our 37's .Becase we have some paint already we will use those colours in the livry .The weather on the news said it will be warmer today so we will be able to paint both 37's .
 |
| Peter F. Wilson | 5th Dec 2004 16:04 | FORMAL COMPLANE !!!!! We are going to make a formal complane against Barow Hill becase they wooden let us in today .Some of the people from Mr Henry Sharps company said it would cost hundreds to get our paint of the 37 and that Mr Sharp will "in voice" us for the "damage" .we said that we had bought the 37's and showed them the emails and they said that k meant thousand (I dont belive that becase that would mean 30000 which is a lot more than 5000) and that we would need to show them the sale "in voice" before we could go any where near the 37's again but I said how can we show them something that was done "in voice" becase that is just speaking .they said they would call the police if we diden go away .Here are the emails that Mr Sharp sent us which prove that we are right .This is the first email -
> it was good to meet you at Barow Hill people
> say you are not frendly to perservation but
> you were very frendly .anyway you said you
> would sell us some 37's for between 30 and 35
> and we are intrested could you tell us which
> ones we can have

Mr Sharp did not reply after this so it must of been ok .So we are now demanding an apologise from Barow Hill and those ac electric group people who said we were a bunch of spoters . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 6th Dec 2004 17:16 | We have still not recevd an apologise from Barow Hill . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 7th Dec 2004 07:47 | I have just had an email from Mr Sharp who says that we have not bought the 37's even though we have sent him 60 on an official check .He has aslo said that ,we must pay 3000 to get 37397 repainted again to cover up our paint .that is stupid becase it only cost us 45 for the paint from B+Q anyway so 3000 is too much . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 9th Dec 2004 14:36 | Mr Sharp has sent a letter saying we must pay 3000 or he will take us to court .I have spoken to Mr J Wilson who has said he will sort it . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 16th Dec 2004 23:13 | The 37 Tractor Group is now suspended due to unfoursean problems .We have been told that we can not buy the 37's becase they are 30000 each which is a lot and too ,much .My father Mr J Wilson has said we must pay him all the money from the fund becase he has paid Mr Sharp 3525 to fix the "damage" on 37397 which is more than 3000 that he said at first . |
| Peter F. Wilson | 24th Dec 2004 11:53 | We have receved an "invoice" from Newtown Replcas for the neam plates and it is a lot of money .I have phoned them to say that the name plates are not actualy on an engine but they said that was not relevant so it turns out we still have to pay for them even thow they are not on an engine .If any one wishes to make a donation to the group please do it soon . |
