atom3624 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Won't be long now - Q2 2021 isn't far away - seriously. I remember ordering, pre-Covid ... and that happened 6 months ago, the ordering a fair bit before that .... Thanks, as usual, for the update, and looking forward to 37 001 as ordered for me anyway.

TomScrut Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 And as I said on the mk5s and "means I might buy some CS ones", in this case it is "might buy 37419 now too" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The fact you are delivering to customers what looks like the most amazing & definitive Class 37 to date in under 18 months (would have been shorter not for global issues) is extraordinary in itself considering the tooling variations, I'm sure there will be next to zero complaints on the delivery timescale...fantastic work Accurascale! 4 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint is that each time these boys announce a delay, I seem to justify pre-ordering more! Now considering a 37/6... Roy 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older / pre-refurbished models have the 'as built' windows, the later versions were fitted with toughened / reinforced glazing with thicker frames. The model reflects this accurately 2 3 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The photos tease to the cab interiors, any chance of showing theses off? The Deltic cab you have shown, had a mind blogging amount of detail! Are the cabs era specific? No worries on the delays, I am already looking ahead to when you launch Colas 37/0s and DRS Compass 37/4s! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallaig1983 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 RSH BR blue with cutaway skirts is all I'm missing now coz I need at least 2. Hopefully good things come to those who wait. I'm ok with the slight delay to Q2 as post furlough there's a little bit of financial catching up to do. Can't wait to see them in the flesh.

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted September 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2020 I’m okay with the delay because, as pointed out, Accurascale have kept us very much in the loop. I think with re-issues of wagons such as PFA’s will keep us all hungry for more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 3, 2020 Not a problem with the delay. It means I can get more mileage out of my 37423/37610.............. (done with a bit of modelling) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted September 4, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2020 While you are waiting for your models, here is one of my slides from 1986. It's the Gunnie cement train thrashing up Shap at Greenholme. The noise is why I've got sound fitted models. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted September 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2020 Accurascale, I have come to the conclusion that you are mine and many others dream manufacturer! These 37s are looking absolutely fantastic! Just taking one look at the photos, and I can immediately tell that this is the definitive 37 that modellers and collectors have long been awaiting. The communication between yourselves and your customers, is equally as fantastic. A small delay of a few months is a massive win for such a large project, in which no two 37s are the same, especially amid a global pandemic. I'm going to let you and everyone else into a little secret. I was selfishly, secretly hoping for a small delay of just a few months as you have coincidentally announced, to justify ordering DRS 37409 in BR Large Logo Blue. I say this because had the first batch of 37s still been arriving in Q1 2021, I may have struggled to justify another 37 especially just after Christmas, but with my birthday been in May, which is also in the second quarter, I will ask my family to buy this DRS heritage liveried tractor for my birthday. Win, win as they say! You are all doing a brilliant job and I can't wait for the next 37 update. Is it too early to start asking about when batch two will be announced and start wishlisting Kind Regards, Danny. 2 1 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
owentherail Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I'm dreading when they start doing plain old railfreight grey and BR blue . I better save up now 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Nice update, delay is what it is - it’s a model train , it’s not needed in a hurry.... Hopefully by then, I’ll be no longer working for Bojo, and will actually be able to buy some 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemster Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Patience is indeed a virtue. But delays don't help the company. And they can become a big issue for someone (like me) who is 75 years old and counting, and has been waiting thirty years for a decent Class 37/4 model in Sub-sector liveries. I just hope that I still have all my faculties about me when they do eventually . . . . . . when they do eventually . . . Uhh . .

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted September 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2020 Not I. The slightest. Glad you did it. I’ve got a good flatbed scanner but with over 20,000 slides to scan they would never get done. Instead I’ve got a cheap one (5 seconds per slide) so making progress but the quality isn’t so good and it can’t correct colours etc. At some point (!) I’ll go back and correct the colours, crop etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
