Back last summer when working on my model of 37607 it was left in a part finished state with the ends missing the horn grills.  Last night I started work on another Class 37 project, modelling 37065 in Mainline.  This is an interesting loco which had a flush front on one end and a split headcoded at the other end.  In order to do this I was cutting the headcode boxes off a split box body, and would of course need a pair of horn grills and marker light lenses (at least I did manage to find a pack of two horn grills in my scrap box.)   So I was going to need to buy another pack of marker lenses and horn grills, a quick look on Rainbow Railways website showed a set of Bachmann flush front ends available for about twice what I was going to pay for the etches, so it was a simple decision to get them ordered! 

With the parts having arrived soon after they were quickly stripped and repainted to get rid of the LoadHaul orange.  A DRS recessed multiple working socket was cut into the end, and the various sockets and jumper cables were added to the cab front from various Bachmann and Heljan parts.  Just need to add the wire to the cables now...

One day I have a small project that this loco (along with 612 and a pair of 20s) will provide the motive power for, based around the end of the Berkeley branch at Sharpness.  It would have the run around loop at the end of the line, and probably some sort of sidings serving other industry (at the port there is cement, scrap, and several large distribution centres).  Who knows if it will ever be made, but for the moment at least it gives me an excuse to be modelling these interesting locos (and the pair of FNA which are also currently on the workbench)...
