Manghan Shaw (Shaw Bros) of Durham had 2 D375's in the 1990's.Had one of them on hire during 1990.They seem abit bigger than a D9L.

Short bros had a 375 too, I have pics of it somewhere, I'll dig them out.

Walter Kinnear bought a 375 some fifteen years ago or more which he still has, Gibson Bros bought a new 375 in 1991 for the Newry bypass and still use it, Walter bought a 475 maybe seven years ago, used it for a while and sold it to fellow forum member Mervyn Rowe who used it on a contract then sold it on to Malta.

There is a D375A-5 currently operating in Fife ,Scotland in a silica sand quarry with giant ripper.
Drax Power Station still have a D375A-3 in operation.
Also Miller Mining had a D375A-3 at Westfield opencast in the mid nineties
