class"66" Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 look forward to seeing this one - i think the upper grey bodyside was somewhat darker on 402 than other grey 37s not sure what the reference colour might be.... Ive used "Railmatch" dark grey,on the upper part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
class"66" Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Nice job, I'm deffo jealous of your split box 37s , my next layout Is a non starter without some in rfd Cheers my mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
class"66" Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ive put down "rough grey" air brush finish, so i can ad scratches and body panel dents long with "rust" patches... So the 37 looks rather shabby all over... Adding black loco numbers using (Modelmaster) number sheets,,, 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I managed to get a early Bachmann 37 on ebay that was done up as 37402 as your modelling it. I remember seeing pictures of it online and in mags as it was a regular down near Cardif and thought the idea of the 37/4 on a Regional Set would be nice for the layout I had at the time. The engine does have a different sound chip fitted which was there when purchased years ago and that adds variety. I have planned to get mine more up to spec by giving it a little weathering, but that is something Im looking to do for most of my fleet. Will get a photo of mine sorted if your interested. Meanwhile, will be interesting to watch yours develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
class"66" Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looking forward to your pictures David, I spotted 37401 few times along the North wales coast on RR coaches... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Here you go.... As far as I can tell 37402 had a repaint in 2003 which made it quite lean. Up until then I was into the un-branded rail freight livery that it just kept. The repaint was not full TTG, but rather I think Canton using what paint was to hand. As a result it was tidied up and returned with the darker roof grey down as far as the ligher bodyside. At least, thats what I think it is. The windows around the sides were touched up in black. It retained this guise until its withdrawal, being a minor celeb just for its novel paint scheme, a break from the EWS standard livery of red and gold. My model is not quite accurate, I think class 66 transfers were used for the front numbers on the nose as these look off. But overall the engine I bought years ago is a fair representation of what your after. Dont forget the little EWS beastie logo under the cab window too. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I dont know why youd want to model 37422 for EWS. All it did was break down and eat power units. It spent most of its time out of service! Its reputation still has not changed and perhaps this is why its return to DRS operation is far longer than some others that have been done. I suggest 37405, 408, 416, 419 as they were EWS examples than ran often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Do 405 then swop it with for 419 I'm getting for Xmas and save me having to renumber it my self and making a mess of it David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
