RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 30, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Ah, so the email I received yesterday did not come from a leprechaun who was out to taunt me but from someone seeking to make an old mature man happy. And there'll be a smiling face at my 'local' retailer as he absorb's another week's worth of my pension at a future date. D6600 looks to be spot on against a published photo and good to see that it, correctly of course, doesn't have headboard clips. Correction it didn't have a boiler as it was to diagram DE3003/3 but had through steam pipes. Interestingly it was not marked with 'NB' hand painted bekow the running number although that local touch might well, have come later? Which of course still leaves some room for more WR versions (particularly the RSH built variety, with headboard clips - D6898 pretty please). But also a Vulcan Foundry built example with headboard clips so a CentraL Wales spotlight fitted version would then be possible for those who want one or one which has got slightly lost. Greed is a terrible thing so I'll now shut up but add a thank you. Edited March 31, 2023 by The Stationmaster 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolkchinaclay Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Looking forward to the “crews” for the Class 37s too now. Very impressed with those for the Deltics.

Might as well take them out of their boxes and give them a run from time to time. Yes, but when you look at the price of a New Hornby Railroad its still a bargain.....and still more print detail! Its never going to meet modern standards, but still they are alright. Nothing to fall off apart from buffers, coupling hooks or clear lenses in the lights! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So theres a strategic reserve argument to your fleet. 😃 Edited March 31, 2023 by adb968008 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @norfolkchinaclay, Excellent! We will have crews of all eras, and we did our 92s with packs of 2, so expect the same for the 37s! 37 minutes ago, Pete the Elaner said: They seem to be supplying something for everybody at a rate we can afford instead of flooding the market with more Scottish locos than many Scottish modellers can afford, then Producing more Stratford locos than London modellers can afford, then more Cardiff examples than Welsh modellers can afford.

Hi @Pete the Elaner, As we say at shows "we'll do everything and get around to them" but we need to pace ourselves for the sake of production and the sake of your wallets of course! Cheers!

rob D2 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Still an accurate EWS liveried 37/4 , but more importantly 37/0 preferably split box like 051/042/114 would have my wallet running scared * (* other cliches are available ). And what's even better I know it'll be a good seller as I know 3000 people who want one ;) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loco from March working its way into London then failing before being repaired in a nearby workshop then getting allocated to local duties for a few weeks/months would not be at all uncommon. Just as a 37 running from Motherwell to Inverness on a sleeper then hanging around would not be at all unexpected. It would not look at all out of place. A 37/4 with a Welsh name running around in the Highlands would be a bit of a surprise though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the savings steady & you may see 2 that you want announced together, then nothing more for a few months while your savings recover. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point is, Accurascale have yet to announce any *Inverness* 37s, which had different embellishments, contrary to your post. So I can’t yet have an Inverness 37 to travel anywhere. The West Highland Line was pretty solid Inverness locos. Roy 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVMR21 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I will admit this run does (at least currently) seem low on 37/5s and 37/7s, though I do wonder if that's because batch 2 of run 2 will feature more of these variants. Not yet ordered one as I'm pondering as to which to go for so will wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
