RMweb Gold 97406 Posted October 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2021 In the meantime we have Shawplan to help fill the gaps, though Brian’s low on the 37/40 windscreens at the moment, with a new batch to follow. It means that the current fleet will look the part alongside the Accurascale 37s, and whatever else is to follow when they’re here. My current wishlist is for a 37502 to go with 501, which is currently awaiting lining and transfers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallaig1983 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I’m really hoping for a RSH version in banger blue and a centre head code version too. Preferably Eastfield allocated in 1983. Just saying like…. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRC Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think you can take it as read that there will be a second run of the popular class 37’s, as The Heavy Tractor Groups 37714 seems to be part of that run. Can’t wait to see what else you have in the pipeline! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covkid Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Here is a relative question. The DRS 37 that is "on holiday" at Bo ness appears to be very similar to some of the heavyweights that Accurascale have announced. It appear to be in bog standard blue (BR or DRS ??) with yellow ends, small arrows and 37067 on the bodysides. As it is a refurb the livery isn't an authentic BR livery, but it actually is authentic because it exists right there in real life - just like 37521 and 37667 and 37905 in "non authentic" BR green - which again is actually authentic. So my hypothetical question is, would someone expect to clear the decks if they commissioned Accurascale to produce a limited run of say 300 or 504 pieces ? I would say not, but interested in what others think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As 37703 in its current form as 37067 has only appeared on the B&KR and has never worked on BR metals in its current condition I would be surprised if there was demand for even 150 models never mind 504. 37521 and 37667 would be more viable as they are on the mainline and get about quite a bit.

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted October 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2021 Got my pre order in for a green one (D6700) before all go! This purchase partly justified on not buying a Hornby Clan (poor livery application) or a Bachmann V2 (disappointed with advance photo's of the production model). I think the market for models is going to get more competitive as purse strings tighten and I am confident that Accurascale will deliver on quality and specification. Less worried about how long delivery will take 5 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted October 29, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2021 I’ve gone for a punt on 37027, too.

No Decorum Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 After digging around on the site, it seems that the 37s will have in-house sound and the sound engineer is Jamie Goodman. That is rather impressive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
