That is rather impressive. Correct! Jamie is now the accurascale resident DCC sound guru as well as working hand in hand with the team at ESU. https://accurascale.co.uk/pages/about 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted November 10, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2021 On the Accurascale site the sold out locos,it has some marked as such but some come up and appear to be orderable,not crossed out? hows this working as i guess it is or is not. https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/locomotives/availability_sold-out?

RMweb Gold McC Posted November 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2021 The site tags them as sold out if one variant is however there is a small number where either sound fitted or dcc ready has a few left. Hth! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishdurham Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Finally took the plunge and put a deposit on 37 001 now the reason is; a, I need something to pull the MDVs b, It would be nice to have company for "The Durham Light Infantry" when it arrives c, The 1:1 scale version was based in the North East for a while d, it looks fantastic I will go away and ponder, I may be a long time! 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, 37001 was never ever alone, always connected to 37052 or 37055. 37.001 only had a single fuel tank though, not twin! Is the Accurascale model correct then? This like my other 37001 pics, it is attached to 37052 Edited November 12, 2021 by reddragon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted November 12, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2021 We've modelled 37001 in early 1970s condition when it still had both tanks. Cheers! Fran 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Isn't it strange how 37100 (same digits rearranged) also lost one of it's tanks towards the end of it's career, prior to becoming a 97/3 37100 | 37100 at Carlisle.

RMweb Gold 55020 Posted November 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) The oldest photo I can find of a twin tank equipped 37001 . September 1978 at Gloucester This is the earliest photo I can find of 37001 with only a single tank, no doubt removal was conducted during its Crewe works overhaul. October 1979.

RMweb Premium reddragon Posted November 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 12, 2021 At least Accurascale can now say it is in the early 1970's head code twin tank form. Tank removed at Crewe 1979! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. funny but certainly not a valid reason. No-one sent a loco out on a job with any kind of risk of it running out of fuel. But more importantly consider that as built the 37s only had their single fuel tank anyway. The other was the boiler water tank for those fitted with boilers. Not sure when the programme of converting the boiler water tank into double fuel was significantly underway but pretty sure it was 1980s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them well,i think at the time once the 9F pulled stuff stopped the railway sceen here was not as popular,the diesels were not liked and still a lot of oldies only remember the steam as it blended in with everything else the steel plant and blasts threw in the air. Had forgot how the ore was brought from Teeside and the torpedo trains at times,theres a good model for Accurascale guys........oh to be in my twentys and know what i know now.Wish i had a penny from the line after the train ran it over,as a kid they were worth more as they were bigger...... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Long term plan is to model two of the torpedo wagons for my South Pelaw layout but it’s a good way off yet. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
