Edinburgh Junction Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 The engine failure methinks. I've heard they are replacing its engine with a working 37 engine ,but that will be very unlikely. I cannot wait to get mine! Only a month to go! Update: Over 95% of them sold! Get yours now!

ATB James 37419 has had a lot of work done at Crewe and still in side the shed so don't rule that one out yet I think it would be very rare to see 670 back as apparently its completely empty with all the parts taken out the same with 406 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic_monkey09 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Doesn't it have the correct buffers ? it will most likely come with plastic oval ones, usually all Bachmann's 37's do but if you want to be extra realistic you can add your own metal (eliptical) class 60 style buffers like the prototype has B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic_monkey09 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 So they cant be fixed on or even have an overhaul to work again then??Anyway I have mine on order and cant wait for it. ATB James Its not so much that they can't be fixed or overhauled, its that it would cost too much money to repair them when they are not vital to DB Schenker's rail freight business. The only reason they have been kept running is because they have unique characteristics that make them suitable for small time work such as railtours and the occasional enterprise moves. The class has route availability for just about anywhere on the network so they are only really required when a 66 cannot do the job. They do provide DBS with a bit of money on the side from hiring them out to railtour company's but sometimes they end up costing DBS more money in repairs than what DBS can charge for their hire, Not too mention they fail quite often and have to be recovered before they cause chaos on the network. These machines can be repaired/overhauled to a Fantastic standard as we have seen before from the skilled engineers at Barrow hill and i suppose the Red Duo are in good nick considering most overhauled 37's are at deaths door before they undergo repairs. But at the end of the day everthing in life comes down to money and hopefully even if DBS are done with them they will eventually be sold on and find work under DRS or WCRC perhaps....

She's currently keeping the ATW 57 company, pictures to follow. No surprise to find one on ebay. The vultures will continue to circle where they be LimitedEd's Pictures to follow PS I take it Bachmann Class 66 buffers will be OK to replace the Oval buffers ??

MRDBLUE17 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi everyone, The postman rang the bell at 7am today with a box from REX containing 37 670. I know I ordered as soon as I heard about it but didn't think I'd be amongst the first to get one but having not got in from work long and with a dying camera battery I thought you might like a quick shot of mine sat at Rannoch (sorry to tease Dave but it will be worth the wait if yours hasn't turned up today!) Paint finish is superb and runs very smoothly - I must admit I am glad REX pushed to get the brake actuators enlarged on the bogies as it does make a real difference to the look of the bogies. Anyway really pleased with mine - not had chance to get many new locos yet this year so I have been looking forward to getting this one. Heres a quick photo, Well done and thanks to the Phil and the team at REX on another top limited edition model! Loadhaul 37's next Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
