One of the main reasons is , what the fudge can you pull behind this esp on a small plank ? Scrap stock transfer ? wagon going for maintenance ? However I have faith that the boys will get to required liveries from the older days soon , there's decades worth to go out . This legacy will be passed on to accura babies to continue pumping them out well into the 2030s, 40s, 50s i'd imagine None of these photos are mine and I suppose might not be suitable for an end to end, but here's the tango 405 with...

I have asked Gareth, yet no reply :( so could Fran et al on Rmweb confirm whether 'run 2' shall have working fans on DCC? This was originally mentioned by your boss back in Aug 2021 as something you have designed for the future... On 09/08/2021 at 21:29, McC said: When originally evaluated, the existing technology was expensive and we felt a £200 dcc ready loco was beyond what customers would find fair. With the class 92 (deco sample updates very shortly) we gained huge experience with the motor technology required to seamlessly and silently operate the pantographs which ended up being translatable into working fans, louvres, vents, you name it. We since then retro-tweaked the fittings and sound projects to accommodate a future fan module that may be an option or no cost feature of a very slightly more expensive model in a future run and may well become a standard feature in all the other diesels we are busy making behind the scenes. We’d hope to offer the fan module to first run customers at cost if it works out. If you are to include, have you come up with a working solution to retro fit the 'run 1' locomotives with a working fan? I reduced my orders for 'run 1' right back to only 37409 and 423 as I was happy to wait for a couple of years for the 37/6s to be produced again with such features! Still, I have ordered CP inspired 37405 direct and Colas 116 with my usual retailer, in the faith their fans shall work! In the meantime, Bachmann 37175 Sound Fitted Deluxe shall keep me entertained. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the specifications none of the 37’s announced so far have working fans. Our focus has been on delivering the delayed models and producing more to meet demand before embarking on the retooling required (for the motor mounts ) and changes in prices that may be needed. These 37’s are identically highly specified as run 1, with dual speakers, extensive lighting, built in stay alive etc. Edited April 8, 2023 by McC 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan91 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) It happens that I've photographed 37 422 back in 2017 at Kents Bank. My first photo of a 37's still in service. So I had to order this one as well. It seems there's always a reason to order a 37: 37258: Dutch livery. I live in Holland. 37405: It's orange. I like orange.🤷♂️ Please do not announce 37800 in ROG livery soon 😂 Edited April 9, 2023 by Ryan91 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
