raetiamann Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Fabulous announcement for those modelling north of the border. I switched away from my 1980s ScotRail layout last autumn, so this opportunity has gone for me, but I do like the look of the DRS offerings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted February 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2020 Oh dear. How many Scottish 37s does a London-area and SW-area modeller need? Answer = several more than I currently have, probably 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6975 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I saw 37043 in large logo at Severn Tunnel Jn shortly after the WHL went EH. Lots of other steam heat ones turned up at Bristol off the Dringhouses freight. 012, 027, 051, spring to mind. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mac Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Mmmmm....... never can have too many Scottish 37’s!.... lol...... Got a question re the lighting... Does anyone know how the lighting will work with regards to the Domino headcode/marker lights and the hi intensity/car light? Will the Domino’s be of a lower intensity than the headlight or will all 3 lights be of the same intensity? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted February 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Well done Accurascale on your latest release of Class 37s. It's fantastic that you are capturing all of the variants that haven't been modelled in ready to run form before in OO Gauge. I will let you all into a little secret. I had an inclination that the announcement for this weekend at Model Rail Scotland was an extension to the Class 37 range, because earlier this week a product page for 37027 was posted to the Class 37 section of the Accurascale website. It wasn't live as in it couldn't be pre-ordered or bought but the product page was their. But I didn't want to spoil the surprise and the official announcement. Thankfully for this batch of 37s myself and my wallet have breathed a sigh of relief, because Scottish 37s are not my era. I am sure though that knowing Accurascale their will be some additional modern image 37s added to the range before long. Keep up the good work Accurascale. Kind Regards, Danny.

RMweb Gold young37215 Posted February 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2020 As if I did’nt have enough to think about, Accurascale go and release details of their 1980’s styled Scottish region class 37’s! These look the business and judging by the number of Bachmann 37’s currently up for sale on Ebay (7 pages worth this morning) it appears to me that a number of people are already thinking about upgrading their fleets! It will be an interesting time watching the Bachmann versus Accurascale contest unfold. The impact on prices will be noteworthy with Accurascale’s superior and more accurate detail at a similar price point in terms of RRP appearing to have the edge. Accurascale additionally state their chassis will have enough space for bigger speakers thus avoiding the industrial scale milling and resulting expense that is necessary to get an EM2 or equivalent size speaker into a Bachmann model. If nothing else perhaps it will cause Bachmann to re-visit their stance regarding the general lack of space within their locos for speakers. All in all Accurascale look well placed but in building up expectations they will need to deliver what they are promising. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DCC sound models also include a sugar cube speaker, an EM2 speaker and a loksound v5 chip. hope that helps. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EM2 speaker configuration is already part of the new Class 37 thus it will be applied to the sound versions of these Scottish 37's I would think...that's progress Edited February 22, 2020 by classy52 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that. The lokSound 5 specifically supports two speakers in a paired configuration just like a larger speaker enclosure with the right frequency going to the right speaker. So each sound loco has two fitted. A big em2 and an ‘iPhone style’ cube speaker. Edited February 22, 2020 by McC 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Super times for a Tractor modeller. I think Bachmanns days look very numbered for the new class 37 market with these sorts of models coming on stream. 051 on my radar... if we could just complete the rest of the ML Dolphin era fleet I would be most grateful ! 010, 037, 049, 099, 111. 145, 370, 373 and 379 at some stage too. ;). Then we can move onto ED 37/4's ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
