Damnit I already have a lot of 37s but I don’t have one in this livery and model Scottish railways over this period… I feel like I don’t have an option now… she does look nice…

[WILLIAM]

Very tempted. Spent a lot of time chasing it around Scotland.

Sorry for the delay in updating this thread, we have announced an Exclusive Bachmann 00 Gauge Class 37/4 37 401 ‘The Royal Scotsman’ in Royal Claret EWS livery – Era 9. 

The English Electric Type three, later Class 37 locomotive was built at the English Electric Vulcan Works and entered service as D6968 in February 1965. Under the TOPS numbering system, she was renumbered as 37 268 in February 1974. 

She was rebuilt as a 37/4 in June 1984 emerging as 37 401 in BR Blue large logo livery and allocated to Eastfield. Whilst allocated to Eastfield she was named ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ on 4th November 985 at Linlithgow. She was repainted into Intercity Mainline livery in August 1988. In June 1999 she was transferred into the ownership of EWS and initially based at Toton, 

Following repainting into EWS Royal Claret livery she was renamed ‘The Royal Scotsman’ on 31st March 2001, as depicted by this KMRC Exclusive model. 37 401 was initially withdrawn from service in October 2010 before being sold and relocated to Barrow Hill where she has subsequently been returned to BR Blue large logo livery and from January 2014 carried the name ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ once again.

The Kernow Model Rail Centre Exclusive highly detailed model in 00 Gauge is being produced for KMRC by Bachmann. The model is the all-new Bachmann class 37 tooling with diecast chassis block housing a five pole, twin shaft motor with two flywheels providing drive to all axles. Rotating radiator fans are driven by an independent motor and gearbox (SOUND FITTED DELUXE version), operated via a DCC function. The body includes many separately applied metal detail parts, such as:  grab handles, windscreen wipers, etched fan grilles and sprung metal buffers. The Dual Fitted speaker system returns, offering authentic sound reproduction and this is pre-fitted to every model, whilst the Class 37 features a new ‘Yard Light’ mode, allowing red taillights and/or marker lights to be displayed at both ends of the locomotive when operating on DCC. Using the model on DCC also provides cab lighting and engine room lights at the push of a button, whilst analogue operation sees marker lights, tail lights and headlights – where applicable – all illuminate as desired. Each model is supplied with a full set of decorated, model-specific bufferbeam pipework and accessory parts. 
 
The KMRC Exclusive model features the following specific detail variations:
Pristine Royal Claret EWS livery, central headcode panels – plated and fitted with sealed beam marker lights, top centre lamp bracket, NRN Ariel, nose-mounted ETH, high intensity headlight, bufferbeam valance removed, coupling bash plate, oval buffers, original windscreen, English Electric cantrail grilles, welded boiler roof, plated boiler port and safety valves, sealed water filler door and plated access steps, fabricated bogies, slow speed control, twin fuel tanks with ex water tank gauges plated over, electronic fuel gauge and tank joining pipe.

The KMRC Exclusive class 37 is available in three formats, with standard DCC Ready versions, £244.95 with a Plux22 DCC decoder (The recommended decoder is Bachmann item No. 36-570). SOUND FITTED models, £344.95, are pre-fitted with a Zimo MS450P22 DCC Decoder, whilst the SOUND FITTED DELUXE format, £374.95, feature the new motorised fan system. In addition, the SOUND FITTED DELUXE specification includes windscreen glazing that has been treated with a specialist technique to replicate the tinting seen on the prototype.

The versions available now are as below:

35-335Y Bachmann Class 37/4 Diesel 37 401 The Royal Scotsman in Royal Claret EWS livery. DCC Ready. 

 

35-335YASF Bachmann Class 37/4 Diesel 37 401 The Royal Scotsman in Royal Claret EWS livery. DCC SOUND FITTED.

Chris Trerise, Managing Director, said: “We are pleased to announce the next in our growing range of Exclusive Class 37s based on the all-new tooling, high specification Bachmann models. The Royal Claret EWS livery is especially striking.”

Great looking loco and now with all the pipework and snow ploughs fitted it looks even better. Can't wait for the other 37/4 37418 to be delivered and get the full treatment. Here's a photo of it, together with it's mate 37422 in EWS maroon.

Hi,

 

I’m not sure if I can really justify a Royal Scotsman Class 37 on Collingwood, but it looks and sounds good on my Ball Slurry rake:

 

(I know I work in the KMRC Guildford Branch, but this is an honest opinion, it looks and sounds great!)
