Full update and some snazzy snaps of them right here: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/class-37-run-two-decorated-samples-are-here-full-update Cheers! Fran They look smashing. There’s mine in the middle! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold farren Posted September 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2023 Oh dear I’ve buckled! The sound decoder is just going to have to wait until later.just added 609 to go with 258. I suppose I can get the sound decoders later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter749 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Sorry if this has been asked before - a lot of posts to look thru. Are you likely to make a 1980s BR Blue version with the TOPS number and the old buffer surrounds but without the Orange Cant Rail stripes? Something like these pictures I took. Thanks Peter 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan91 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 They look splendid! 🤩 And well done by adding the remaining stock in your newsletter.. Bought myself another one, 609 🤷♂️😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunmar Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 My thanks to Simon and the Technical Team at Accurascale I now have 37 027/ 37043 back on shed after maintenance. They are both now running and operating as the should be. Flange squeal operates going through pointwork just as it would do. Good to go! 9 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Andy7 Posted September 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2023 37608 just arrived from Rails. I have 6 accurascale 37’s now and I have to sat 37608 is the pick of a very fine bunch. The livery application is stunning and the fit of the roof panel is perfect (I would say that it’s due to familiarity of the factories producing them now). Also of note is the detail pack having dummy delner couplings. Amazing attention to detail all round. Now go off and make me a relevant unit to drag around! Pretty please. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted September 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2023 Looking at the samples for run 2, one observation is that the roof hinges are still standing proud like handrails. Whilst it’s an easy job to make them sit flush against the roof, it would be good if these are tweaked on the production run so you don’t have to. Otherwise I’m liking the green/blue changeover examples in addition to 37140 which is on order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As can be noted on the currently delivering models, they sit flush on the roof - these are earlier produced :) 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomer1979 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 On 20/09/2023 at 15:24, Br60066 said: Hi Guys, Anyone had any joy getting 2 of these to consist together and run at the same speed? One of my models is sound and the other has the standard Accurascale DCC chip in it but I can't get them to match speeds. When hauling something like FNA's it causes the wagons to derail since they are always either being pulled apart or pushed together. Is this likely a problem with the models manufacturing tolerances meaning they will always run at slightly different speeds or will I need to run both models on the same decoder to resolve the issue? Easiest way to do this with any two locos is to run them at full speed either along side or following and adjust the fastest one down using CV5 to get them both at the same speed. Then match your other CVs for start voltage, acceleration and braking and you should be pretty close if not spot on. Neil. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of thrash, but I wanted a heavy load - will send you a picture when I am sorted. Not tried it since but a year or so ago, only a Hattons 66 could move it them up my incline comfortably, but you could tell it was working for it's living for once! Even on incline with wagons on 2nd radius curves. The stock appears to have lots of rolling resistance, to the extent a wagon will not move on my down hill gradient. 8 or 9 PFAs coupled to a wagon can just get one wagon moving down the hill! Pair of Bachmann 37/4's in DRS could shift itit, but singularly no chance even with a run at it, just slip, slip, slip after a few feet! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a case of remapping the functions. I’ve posted the logic I used in earlier posts on here. It’s easiest to do with JMRI or a Lokprogrammer 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
