Think i prefer the yellow used by Bachmann for the ends as these seem a bit "lemonie" in shade but who knows maybe the Bachmann yellow is the wrong shade. Cant believe how heavy the loco is though. A real feel of heft and quality. I thought that too, but it’s a perfect match for Railmatch pre-84 yellow so there is some evidence of its accuracy. I prefer the more yellowy yellows of later years aesthetically. Edited July 31, 2023 by 97406 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accus one has blue roof in the cad pic order pic. Thanks Im sure Accurascales resident expert will have scrutinised this before they have commited to making the model,possibly having pictures to suit,or Patrick will be facing a term in the stocks,keep the faith brother. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted July 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2023 Some large logo 37s had black roofs and very smart they looked too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 56089 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Speaking of large logo 37s it looks like I’ll be spending most of tomorrows shift at work checking my phone to see when the last of them released from Accurascale as they haven’t produced today and I’d like a 37043! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Conundrum - do I purchase 37402 if it comes up for sale tomorrow (or in the next few days), purchase sound decoder and speaker for 37409, OR buy a Revolution Caroline to run with 37409? Wallet can only afford one of those three options. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallet can only afford one of those three options. So I would personally go for DCC ready 409 and Caroline if funds can stretch. It'll be hard to get either I would imagine going forward. On the flipside a speaker and chip will be around for sometime. You could add the chip and speaker later as funds allow. Just realised you may have meant your budget was ~£170 rather than ~£300. In which case I would actually be more tempted by Caroline. I doubt they'll do another run and you get a complete train. The speaker and chip should have decent availability going forward. 402 would be a nice extra but you will probably be able to pick up another 37/4 in future years.

A real feel of heft and quality. To my mind Accurascale have it spot on. Too many banger blue locos have been released with the later warning panel yellow which is so wrong to my eyes. If a loco is to represent pre-84, it should be more lemony. Roy 4 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium richierich Posted August 1, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2023 Been quite slow to look at the release of the class 37/0 in sector livery mainly due to work been so busy. Started to look at some of the stuff on the web and you tube about them. Looks like I’ve missed the opportunity to get 37026 or 37051. Although I guess the latter is the only one for the Sector period that will have passed through York is 37026. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decoder fitting is easy if you are quick. There is a port on the bottom. The stay alive however can frequently be fatal which obviously defeats the point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn_Bach_Railway Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Is there any update on the sound decoders? Both as to when they might be back in stock and as to if the refurbished sound file ever got the cold start added? Have a DC 37 402 and would very much like to get it running and sounding proper :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I phoned my retailer this morning to ask where's my 37 409 and was told they have no information on it but will look into it and phone me back. So far they haven't done so.
