Hi Chris, That's correct. Looking liked very end of the month before Chinese New Year for the first ones, so may slip into very early Feb by the time they reach us but certainly in the next few weeks. Cheers!

aeroplane Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I was reading that the first 68 built at Vulcan all had riveted roofs but why did some of those have a single riveted roof (37051 for example) and others had a double riveted roof (37026 for example)? Was the double riveted roof the original design? If so, why did it alter on some of them to the intermediate single riveted roof? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2022 I know that this is a “how long is a piece of string” question but I’ve just pre-ordered a Class 55 and now that they are in production, I was wondering if the Class 37’s will be not far behind?

RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2022 Probably an idea to have a page on the latest news tab of the Accurascale site with expected arrival dates of each project. Saves all the confusion if its kept updated as the container ships are dug out of the canal banksides. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

December?!?! But that's almost four weeks ago! We need daily updates direct from the factory superintendent in the Peoples Republic, preferably with details about our own specific order (eg. Sorry Cuthbert Williams of 110 Lavatory Avenue, but we dropped your 55002 into a mug of tea yesterday afternoon at around 3 o'clock.") and don't waste time translating them, just post the Chinese characters here and those of us who really need to know will take evening classes in mandarin Chinese. Now, what's Chinese for "class 40 please"? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good though slight fly in the ointment is that the decorated samples for the Class 92 have appeared, but nothing for the Class 37. I’m not trying to imply that the 37’s won’t be as good livery wise, as the 92’s, but there are some who’ll foam, dribble, drool and maybe yank a certain appendage of the bodies at the nice colours 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold slow8dirty Posted January 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2022 Is it not looking quite tight for production to commence if you're still awaiting decorated samples?
