rob D2 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Ah , ok , thanks simon . I guess nothing a bit of plastic won't fix but I'd probably just overlook it as I'm not too fussy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I was going to suggest that 37117 would be an option for an Eastfield machine, just needing the nose doors plating & round one end, however looking at some pictures it seems to have a rather weird looking double arrow.

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted May 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13, 2017 If you've produced a 37 for your 37th exhibition, there will be lots of interest in seeing your class 38 in 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If you've produced a 37 for your 37th exhibition, there will be lots of interest in seeing your class 38 in 2018. Eleven years to wait for a 48. I had better start eating nothing but salads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochnagar Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yes the riveted boiler roof straps are relatively easily added from micro strip/evergreen strip if so wished to create other locos. Not sure if Brian/Shawplan or anyone else does an etch, but I'd use evergreen strip personally, touched in with railmatch 'Diesel roof grey' and possibly weathered to hide any evidence. It's always easier to add them than to try and remove them..speaking from experience there! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alex Having tried both options in the past, I found it easier to get a convincing result by removing the riveted strips, rather than adding them. This was originally an early BR Green Bachmann 37 with buffer skirts and a riveted strip boiler roof. the new roof panel securing bolts were made from fine plastic rod with the ends rounded off before being pulled through pre-drilled holes in the roof.

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted June 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 7, 2017 Although I have not seen it yet, a subscriber tells me the loco gets a mention and photo in the latest Railway Modeller - that's on top of mentions in Rail Express and Model Rail. As mentioned previously in the discussions about the shade of yellow, Andy Y came to our club rooms a few weeks ago and the hand painted mock up will feature in the next issue of BRM along with a film on the DVD. With all this additional publicity, anyone still unsure should make their mind up soon or miss out as we are about two thirds reserved already. Order form on the Club website. Thanks Mike . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochnagar Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's great that this model has been so well received and that seems to have been reflected in the orders Definitely, many thanks to everyone once again. Some of you may well approve of our second choice, but for now it'll remain a secret, with a likely launch at the Derby show in May again but we'll see. We need to sell out of this one first before doing it all over again!! As it's an expensive business. I genuinely believe they'll all be reserved by the delivery date, but even so we'll continue to take reservations beyond the 512 because they'll inevitably be a few folks that'll drop out. So any over 512 will be kept in a reserve waiting list for that purpose. Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2017 Decision taken and registration of interest made. I'm sure it must have escaped from Scotland to the WR/SR borders at some point. You can (well I can) have too many split box 37s, so I suppose I should think about selling my BCC D6717 limited edition to help pay for it...
