You've had a pretty underwhelming response to these radar frames that I'm sure you've been dying to share with us! Well, I for one am excited, though not about the model of this particular 37, more about what it says about your commitment to detail, and about how good the 37s are going to be... 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted December 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) So at risk of asking a sensible question... Theres a ton of detail there, including the taps/valves for the fuel tank..much more than weve ever had on a class 37 before... So the question is, is there fuel tank variations in the class, as arent all Triang, Hornby, Bachmann 37’s todate of a single type ? And second question.. hows that attaching to the frame ?

There was the boiler tank and fuel tank with boiler tanks later getting replaced by long range fuel tanks etc, so some variations. As we previously said, we're going all out on these. They will attach with a screw. As you can see removable weights are in the tanks for better traction. Cheers! Fran 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Fran oh nurse .......... in all fairness though what a time to be alive with model railways when this is the amount of detail you can pack into a loco, just my opinion here but when the Bachmann 37 with sound is only around £20 cheaper with what is going to be made a very out dated model can anyone else see accurascales models quickly taking the top spot for models.
