New kid in town…
Evening all,
Hopefully a productive modelling bank holiday has been had this weekend.
Just a quick update to share that my Heljan class 37 arrived last week and it’s been well worth the wait Whilst in reality the loco would never been seen at Wenford it will only make an appearance at home or maybe the last 15 minutes at a show - Rule No.1
A big thanks to Lee Edmondson of Lee’s locos who not only managed to source the 37 late last year (when everywhere else it seemed sold out) but has also numbered it, detailed it, weathered it and installed the sound. The sound is LegomanBiffo and it certainly captures what I remember from these beasts!
Lee has done an awesome job working from photos that I sent him and he was a real pleasure to deal with - really helpful too.
So the back story is, that it’s actually 37412 primarily for my future 7mm Kyle layout however a few Large Logo class 37’s were transferred down to the West Country 37412 and 37175 being two of them. Hence the interloper…
Much fun has been had shuffling the odd wagon around the sidings with it…no complaints from the neighbours yet…but blimey it’s loud

Unfortunately I can’t load the other photos I took as they keep coming in upside down
Here’s a link to a short video of the start up…hopefully this works!
Cheers,
Pete
