I thought it was meant to be part of batch 2? Which then leads me to wonder if batch 2 is just following on from batch 1, or if it got moved when batch 1 was delayed?

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 14, 2023 I do think 37800 (0r 37884) should be named “The Grim Reaper”, every time I see it its dragging something to its end, feeding the Newport Nibbler. 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted March 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Hi All, A little constructive feedback and a question from me. Having taken a good look at the production prototype photos (https://www.accurascale.com/collections/class-37) I’m noticing the variance between models with how the inner windscreen mouldings are fitted. The DRS one has them quite recessed, with the other 2 still having slightly overscale relief around the outer edges. They look to need to come forward by varying amounts. One question I have is how is the windscreen moulding attached? If it’s held in with a little glue in the same sort of way as glazing normally is then it looks feasible to pop them out and set them back in to taste. To me, the screens and their surroundings are the most noticeable an iconic feature of the 37s and 40s, being the first think I really noticed about them when I was a nipper. I run a smallish layout and part of the appeal is having things look as realistic as possible from close quarters. At this stage, it looks a quick and easy fix too. Thanks in advance, Tim Edited March 15, 2023 by 97406 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, the moulding of the recessed area containing the screens and the area surrounding them looks fine, but it look to sit a little deep in the front of the cab, so the raised lip around the edge looks exaggerated. Example below: I see no need to replace the existing window frames with etchings looking at the production examples. Also the ones I have on order are the Scottish Headlight examples so they will have different inserts, but the principle is the same. I am looking forward to seeing the production samples of that batch as the earlier prototypes look OK.. I have Shawplanned (if such a word exists) all my existing 37s and 40s with the screens and backpates, but I don’t think there will be a need here, fingers crossed. If the inner windscreen moulding can be repositioned, then I think it will look perfect. Edited March 15, 2023 by 97406 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted March 15, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hi Tim, It is a separate part which is glued in from behind, if that makes sense. On 423, it has become a little bit pushed in due to handling (We do bounce the production samples around a bit as you can imagine) so can be pushed into place again if the body was taken off. We will advise careful handling in this area. HTH Cheers! Fran 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once every so often I get a model that was assembled by somebody with shares in a Superglue manufacturing company - the glazing in the Heljan 86 being an example of this. Not that it beat me in that case, thanks to careful use of a small flat bladed screwdriver up behind the glazing bars after sticking the bodyshell in the freezer for an hour or so.

Eden Road TMD Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I’ve had the 97 on pre-order from the day it was announced, and I had decided that was all I wanted. However, I am weak and have now also ordered 37609 in DRS livery from Rainbow Railways. Got high hopes for these.

A few days later I placed an order with the same retailer for 423. I had no acknowledgment of this second order and been trying without success to contact them via e-mail and Facebook to confirm that my order was accepted. Just received a message from Paypal this morning that my payment for 423 has been cancelled. I messaged the Paypal rep and got a reply that they can't say why it has been cancelled as "the decision was automated". Since I ordered 423 a couple of unexpected bills have come in so I now have an opportunity to scramble back from the brink. Though I had been looking forward to this one as I have taken a few photos of the full size loco at Carlisle and Whitehaven, so if I don't hear back from the retailer within the next few days I will probably re-order from elsewhere. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I have been visiting the websites of all the usual online retailers, Hattons, Rails, Kernow, Hampshire, Derails etc and all sold out of 37 423 on pre-order. Found 37 423 was still available at Colletts, but last analogue one, so I got in quick and spent my Paypal refund. I even saved 4.50 as Colletts were offering free postage. For anyone else still searching for 37 423, Colletts still have one DCC version available for pre-order as of now.

Also thought I’d drop the link to help any fellow modellers get their hands on what looks to be a superb loco thats pretty much sold out almost everywhere now! 🙂 https://www.collettsmodelshop.co.uk/?s=Accurascale+class+37&post_type=product 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
