There is something quite nice about that plain grey livery, especially when they faded slightly. A lot of folk found it bland but for me it suits the 37 quite well. Another modelling friend calls it Doomreay ! lol...but I think the plain grey suits the 37...and it's different..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmmmm.... Surely that remains to be seen right now. I'm in for some Deltics, and while I'm in no hurry to receive them, at this point the only thing I can really compare is the on-paper specification of the two models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a lot more than compare the on-paper specification: the Bachmann models of the 37 and 55 have been off-paper for years and the 37 at least is a shocker; pre-production models of the Accurascale 55 have been on show for some time. True, there's no pre-production model of the Accurascale 37 (or did I miss that too?!), but the Bachmann model hardly set a high bar - undersize cab-front windows with no grommets, ruining the head-on look; over-wide bogies with underfed brake cylinders; gash where the nose meets the bodyside; no detail around the fuel tanks. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask if there's any chance that you may produce some early South Wales 37s but with the domino headcode AND skirts? These would be ideal to match your proposed BSC iron-ore tipplers that used to be triple-headed between Port Talbot and Llanwern. Cheers, Philip Hi Philip, Apologies, mussed this earlier. There won’t be any in our first run but can see us getting round to them in a future run! Cheers! Fran 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forest2807 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just to add to the gallery here’s my model of a very grimy 37262. I bought the bodyshell on eBay; I don’t know who did the weathering. It is a complete repaint/renumber from another livery. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted June 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2020 Very good Adrian, must admit we really cannot wait to see our 37s suitably filthy when they land! Cheers! Fran 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be sure to get pics up once we get the locos. One question I do have though Fran, what configuration of decoder will we need? 21pin MTC? Cheers Eddie Hi Eddie, Will indeed be 21pin! Cheers!

atom3624 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Will it have opening sprung doors? I was surprised over the weekend - I've another Bachmann 37, an EWS one, and the lighting starting playing up, so off came the lid, and I saw what looked like springs by the doors ... I thought only Hornby did that!! Thing is they fit so well, I probably would never have noticed until I decided to next perform a 'clean, oil and lube' service!! Al.

Hi Al, Doors are separate parts (to account for detail variation) but not sprung. Modellers will be able to adapt them to open position should they so wish but they’re not ‘opening’ in the truest sense of the word.

atom3624 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Fran. Sounds a good compromise in view of everything else going on with the locomotive. It was a surprise as stated, finding that one out. I am a fan of opening doors, and spinning fans ... . Al. Edited June 30, 2020 by atom3624 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjgardiner Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I’ve seen lots of chatter in the main Class 37 thread, but unless I am really really blind, none of the teaser images and delivery updates have said anything about the Scottish ones? I have a Loch Lomond on order and am quite looking forward to it, as it will push me into finally building a proper Scottish diorama/mini layout of some sort. Any update from Accurascale specifically on this part of the run would no doubt be appreciated by more than just me! Cheers Stephen 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
