georgeT Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hello Mate. Might bring some locos down for a run ? Anyway l have been looking at my diesel collection and l must say l am really pleased with the finish on all of them the paintwork is far better than it was ten years ago, so maybe l wont have to respray them just re-brand them with new transfers, numbers and a touch-up to get the locos l want ??

Marcus 37 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Morning Gang. Well l have ordered some transfers from fox, for my Coal sector 37, so a start has been made... George Hi George Is it 37514 you're turning into Coal sector livery. If so you'll need to turn it into a 37/7 as none of the 37/5s with refurbished nose ends carried coal sector livery. Easy enough though, you just need to fill in one of the body side windows. The reason the window was removed was because there were steel plates welded to the insides of the 37/7s for extra ballast to give enhanced tractive effort over standard 37's Hope this is helpful. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Theres guy on ebay seling 379 bodys Unfortunately, although the windows blanked out the roof is wrong due to it being Ruston engined and only having one exhaust port. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
