Tia Hi @sulzer71, From our Project Manger... Quote They are almost identical, although 37051 retained its large footstep on one side that would have been used to access the water filler (removed by this time period), which we, of course, have faithfully modelled on our Railfreight Metals-liveried version of this locomotive. More importantly though, the livery application between 37043 and 37051 is quite different... 51 received a black roof, orange cantrail stripe and a much better proportioned large double arrow for starters HTH!

I remember Islesy saying that Accurascale was a much nicer place to work than Hornby. Reading between the Lines, I mean the lines, Hornby is the worse off for losing him. I keep hoping and thinking that Hornby is turning a corner, then we get the problems with the LNER IET and the APT-P. 🤷♂️ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby on the other hand must have some kind of fundamental problem. If I worked on or designed models I'd always do my best to get things completely right, but if an issue was highlighted I'd double-check and make absolutely certain later releases weren't affected. Of course they'll have a pipeline of models lined up for production so it might be too late to fix things straight away, but they just dont seem to learn or care over several years. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

letterspider Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Back to Accurscalee...Fran do you have any photo updates on the Class 37 such as livery samples - I only ask because you announced the Mk 2s more recently but already have those samples on display?

Hi @letterspider, We do, and we published them several pages back now, but easily missed. No harm adding them again though! We're still awaiting pics of the as built and individual pics, but will give you a flavour of the awesomeness of these. Cheers! Fran 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the above images and other snippets I relented and was lucky enough to secure a sound version through Rails. To be honest, given how quickly and well these models are selling I found that only paying the deposit to initially place the order was the best way (for me) to secure them. Subsequently with some wonderful service from the Accurascale team I’ve since paid my orders off in full. Being able to set up payment plans is a great option helping you to budget and secure exactly what you want before they invariably are gone…. 😉 Edited June 11, 2022 by Purnu Incorrect information. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK the only green 37s announced are the first four or five. Is it D6700-D6704. other wise it is the refurbs, and that kind of thing in the first wave of production. Accurascale have very kindly given us chance to save our bunce ready for the second wave. I am waiting patiently for a couple of GSYP centre headcodes - the Welsh ones. However, I would also like one of the blue Landore ones with the extra bracketed headlight for the Central Wales route. Whether that will be offered - maybe as an exclusive I have no idea, but it would sell well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snot fair. My hayfever is giving me plenty of reminders of what time of year it is. The doctor said I need to find something to do indoors.
