37114 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Some lovely work here, just be careful if you start getting into any of the PHD steps or Extreme Etchings/ Lazerglase components, they are that good and make such a difference you will want to do the whole fleet, I have spent more on detailing mine than I spent on the original loco!

d winpenny Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I would say your best bet is to listen to loads of different chips on YouTube or in person and pick the one you like the sound of the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethashenden Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Over the last few months ive been buying 37514 in metals livery,from Hattons in Liverpool. Due to its silly sale price!!! Ive renumber,and etched grilled the bodyshell,and swopped the front nose cones for the "split head code type"So far my projects have been, Transrail 37111 and RFD 37107,37504.... How did you swap the nose cone? Are split code ones available separately somewhere else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberspice Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've bought both the railfreight redline and the metals 37 from Hattons because of their prices. I'm just getting back in to modelling 4mm standard gauge. I've been out of modelling for a while then slowly came back in to it via narrow gauge (009). But I have the inkling of a 00 gauge layout comprising a bit of mainline and a scrap yard. Next is to weather and detail the 37s so I'm watching this thread with interest.

D6775 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ive now got my P&H class 37/6 nose fronts,just waiting on my Rail match paint to arrive now. I will be using spare Bachmann 37409 DRS body shell,and renumbering it to 37606... Watch out with you're combination of nose ends & Roofs - if my memory serves me correctly 409's roof will be suitable for 423/610/611/612 (note 610 & 612 are both RSH locos) with the /6 ends like your friends in the picture above as they're all ex center panel 37's, 601-609 are all ex split box loco's so will have a flush end. Take a look at the No2 end roof, ex split box are ribbed, ex center panel are smooth. Also 409 is an ex Vulcan Foundry loco so doesn't have the additional ribbing on the cant rail grills that RSH ones do (606 being an ex split box RSH example). But after all that, at the end of the day its your model and enjoy whatever you do with it!!!! Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveymills Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 i think it depends on what livery you intend to do flickr can easily help here for 37505 Transrail I think they were only ever red. However In original railfreight - red, in railfreight metals - black Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
