Otherwise it means I’ll have yet another ER rebel along with the Deltic on my WR layout! Hi David, Yes, the WR versions had odd vertical lamp irons, which survived on many versions through to the present day (including some refurbished locos). While not in this run, we would certainly expect to see them in time 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 WOW! Nothing for me in this first batch, but D6700 as preserved, or a large loco (preferably preserved) 37/4 would go down a treat. This puts the cat among the pigeons - a very mainstream extremely long lived prototype. Good luck with it!!! can't wait for one eventually 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted November 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2019 Nice, but doubt if it will tempt me to replace my 37 fleet - but it did stop me buying 37025 today. A class 40 that runs really well through points and gradient changes would have been my preference. Maybe that will be next. Am I right in thinking that the real deltics, 37s and 50s had the same bogies? Could be some economies of scale there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some economies of scale there. Yes and No.. As built Deltic & Class 55’s had fabricated bogies. In service those bogies were prone to cracking at 100mph speeds. Class 37’s were built with fabricated bogies, at lower speeds these were fine. After issues with class 55’s were uncovered, a new Cast bogie was made, which was stronger and harder wearing, those bogies outlasted the class 55’s as all of them were swapped from Class 55’s at withdrawal (including the preserved ones), and were placed under class 37’s, including various 37/6’s and prototype D6700/37350. Class 50’s were built with cast bogies from new. Post withdrawal of 37’s the various Class 55’s got their cast bogies back, D6700 also had its bogies swapped back to original Fabricated bogies too. you can tell the difference by looking at the top bar of the bogie frame, if its indented (I bar shape) its fabricated, if its fully flush as a block its cast. see below.. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
