Hauling a pair of empty 'TDA' fuel tanks for migration back into regular traffic following attention at Eastleigh, 37418 'An Comunn Gàidhealach' is seen erupting away from Hatton North Junction with the 6Z37 11:55 Eastleigh Arlington - Sinfin Sidings on 7th March 2022. The loco is privately owned and is currently on hire to Colas.

The name which adorns the bodyside is a Scottish Gaelic pronunciation, meaning simply 'The Gaelic Association', an organisation founded in Oban in 1981 to aid in the preservation and development of the Gaelic language, and also to help establish the Royal National Mòd, which is a festival incorporating Gaelic arts, music and culture.
