Yes but 37716 has a special place in history.. How many people ever thought they would get a refurb freight 37 on scheduled passenger haulage, in 2019… and not just for the day.. after its last recorded passenger turns in 1998, it was stored, went to Spain.. then 18 years later and became a consistent passenger performer for the next 3 years !!! .. Thousands have had this for haulage, and probably every surviving class 37 fanatic has had a ride behind this in the last few years. the loco is a legend.. its still operational, I saw it shunting the stock at Norwich a few weeks back from a railtour.

It was on the short set in July 2019 too, even my dogs have had it for haulage .

RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted October 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2021 Well since i cannot make the GETShow in person to see you guys i thought i better support the cause by ordering a few more of these,so Bob and Carl are the order of the day{see what i did there,order of the day}. Bit suprised that the show is on the same time as the London run weekend,that must be hectic but means Fran and the boys can kill two birds with one stone,we all expect good times on your run entrys,do a few laps of the hall on Saturday to practice. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AForce Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Great to see one of the Class 37 samples at GETS yesterday and a big thank-you to @Islesy for allowing me to examine the model in the flesh. It really is a work of art and has some substantial weight to it, too. Wheel slippage certainly won't be an issue! This was my first ever visit to GETS and my first show in 2 years. It was well worth the trip and roll on next years event. Having spent Friday working at Toddington on Dinmore Manor, it was also fantastic to see the latest EP of that project. 37215 just happened to be trundling around the station and yard whilst I was on disposal duty. It's always good to see this loco out and about, even more so given that you used it for sound recording (yes, I know I am a tad biased!). We just need the C/H 37s now *cough*. Keep up the great work guys and I can't wait to see the decorated samples. Good to see Gareth again and thanks for your time Paul, very much appreciated. Warley 2019 feels like a lifetime ago now. Last weekend was our Autumn diesel gala and whilst D6948 wasn't running, it was put on static display for the viewing public.

atom3624 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Can't wait for my Loch Lomond .... these are looking better than ever. Playing down the popularity - by modellers and full-sized operators alike - of the 37, I find I already have 4x 37's, without trying!! (That other all-wheel-drive version.) Glad things are starting to get into some sense of 'the new normal' .. keep us updated. Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I had not yet received an email reply to my email query yesterday, just rudely deleted posts. So after reading the link above the answer seems to be July or August next year for the class 37. A simple direct 3 word date answer would have sufficed and been more helpful rather than me having to read through all that. Such delays are first world problems. Will enjoy class 37 whenever delivered. Will be back home in a week, so looking forward to getting a taste of your first ever loco models, the CIE 'A' class. A taste of things to come and the culmination of a dream hatched by four guys. Thanks btw for the helpful tip off 7 years ago, saved me a packet.

Hi Noel, I hope @AY Mod doesn’t mind me explaining the deletion of posts from another forum, but as per my post there last night your posts were removed by a moderator due to them being completely off topic to the subject matter. I’m sorry you feel the updates are too long, but at least you now know where you can find that information in future. Cheers! Fran 12 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted October 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2021 The way these are going the only thing anyone will want to know is when are they here as 6 versions are sold out now,it would be useful to have some indication as to when any of the forthcoming models are getting close to sell out if thats a possible thing,probably do you a bit of good as panic would set in.

I know @Accurascale Fransent out a mailshot in the last few days, but the entire run is now past 85% presold with 6 SKUs entirely gone, 5 more SKUs with the dcc ready or sound fitted version gone, and several more versions close to sold out. That said, these are direct numbers, and you may still find options at our growing stockist network - https://accurascale.co.uk/pages/store-locator We are unable to increase the run (it's already substantial) as doing so would impact other models not yet announced in production. 3 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
