Jammy2305 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If anyone is interested, I wrote a pair of articles recalling the history of 37099 for the Class 37 Locomotive Group's quarterly magazine 'Syphon'. Parts 1 and 2 featured in editions 165 and 166 respectively and these are available from our online shop at http://www.c37lg.co.uk/shopmain.aspx?category=syphon Cheers James C37LG ww.c37lg.co.uk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Maybe because it's a late running 2017 item.............. Maybe, still there are quite a few late running 2017 items which have also re-appeared in the 2018 catalogue thus a bit strange this one didn't appear again as well as the Colas Class 70 considering these will probably be high volume sellers. Anyway both pre-ordered and looking forward to getting them sometime this year. Edit: Funny fact, the Colas 70 is listed in the 2015 Catalogue thus had forgotten it was this long in the making.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted January 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2018 Saw the loco in the loadbank area at BH last week, & was told it had been seen ticking over a couple of days before, so shouldn't be long before it's out & about.

Swifty11 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Might be 37521 though? Most recent info suggests 099 will be out before 521, 025 went to Barrow Hill on Monday with 37607 where it will be kept as a reserve for test duties. 37611 due to go off lease by the end of Feb too. (But as always, usual t/c thing can change quickly but 099 is due to return within weeks) Edited January 31, 2018 by Swifty11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2018 I’ve got a ballast job to Aberystwyth this weekend and it involves all 4 class 97s one of which can’t be used in ERTMS mode so it will be ‘buried’ within the train consist to get to and from site and be used within the site where ERTMS isn’t switched on Just been doing a bit of phoning around to se if it’s possible to switch out the 97 with 37099 instead to see if we could get it to Aberystwyth as challenged when it was named! Unfortunately it’s not looking like it’s possible due to 099 not arriving back into derby until Saturday morning but i’ll keep trying!! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinC37LG Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Looks great! We're a week behind everyone else due to our annual summer shutdown. Can't wait to get our hands on it, and out to those of you that have preordered it from us, and the balance on the shelves by the middle of next week hopefully. I have a feeling demand for this one will far outstrip the total production run! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 No nose aerial on the model? I note that the real thing has a 'stub' where its aerial used to be. http://www.class37info.co.uk/pics/small/37099.jpg If not on nose, where is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2018 The real thing doesn’t have a nose Ariel (no NRN fitted any more) and the ‘stub’ is barely noticeable and painted yellow anyway 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
