Farish Large Logo Blue Scottish 38

[RateTheFreight]

Afternoon all,

 

Am I right in thinking the only Large Logo Blue Scottish 37 in the Farish range is currently in ‘The Highlander’ set?

 

I’m after a Scottish 37 in this livery but have no need for the rest of the set.

 

Appreciating I could buy the set and sell the rest or hope someone else sold separately I was wondering if Farish had previously or planned to release such a loco as a standalone item.

 

Thanks

Farish did release a new tooling 37/4 in Large Logo (with Scottie Dog) a while back, catalogue number 371-165 but sold out quite some time ago and is highly sought after.  The 37/4 from the Highlander set comes up separated from the set on Ebay from time to time although I do think the prices being asked are a little steep almost to the point where shopping around and buying the set to split up and resell may be a more viable option..

 

There is probably a good chance an 'A' variant of the same catalogue number will be run again at some point but Farish are starting to re-do a lot of their modern tooling chassis to accommodate sound so it could be year or two yet.

 

There is the Vulcan set supposed to be coming soon with 37558 in modern interpretation of Large Logo, that could be backdated with a little modelling I suppose?

Thanks John, hadn’t realised they’d released a version as part of the main range. It’s frustrating they are so hard to come by given its a popular livery of a popular class that covers their time in Scotland and present day too (with mods).

 

I’d forgotten about the Vulcan set; there’s a chap at work who works on one (albeit a OO modeller) who may be interested.

 

Re the highlander loco, does it come DCC sound fitted? If not I’d agree that the prices asked for on eBay seem a little steep.

It seems to be at the moment. I was lucky enough to bag one on eBay recently, that had been split from the set. It might pay you to keep watch there.

TMC did a run of 37027 Loch Eil which is still available

Alas the website says no longer available (sad face).

I am rather hoping that if Bachmann do revisit the Large Logo livery on a 1980's Class 37, it will be a unrefurbished version, preferably a centre head code one with no buffer beam skirts although another (non Ltd Edition) split box will be equally welcome..
