tractor_37260

Agree the box marker lenses would look much better opaque.... Should the White Stripes not be continuous under the cab doors with no gaps ?

Car type headlight looks on the large size, is this example pre or post reducing it's size ?

37260 was repainted into L/L livery prior to being named Radio Highland to mark the introduction of RETB signalling on the highland lines, named at Dingwall station 6/7/84 the first loco to operate RETB.

37043 would also require the BB cowels removed and the early glass split boxes converted to the later plated over type.

Model Railways Direct are still showing availability on some Accurascale 37's ........

On the A/S Facebook page with 37026 showing the stay alive feature, anyone else think the roof engine access panel hinges/handles are a bit too pronounced/high ?

L/L 37027 may be one suitable choice to renumber 37043 to, apart from perhaps the riveted roof, not sure if both are single or double riveted ? and just how noticeable this would be anyway.... L/L 37026 also, but it had a Black roof, unsure if it was light Grey earlier ? same applies 're the roof rivets. L/L 37012 another possible choice, it had a light Grey roof to start with but was changed to Black later. same applies 're the roof rivets. HTH Perhaps A/S could list which locos had single or double riveted rooves ?

If you can source one, the size you require is on the Howes INTERCITY sheet along with suitable black No's.

Think they also had overhangs/porches above the cab doors and rather flat profiled cantrail grilles.....?

It should be possible, the motor could be left fitted but not connected to the board/decoder. Remove the drive shafts, so basically it's a dummy with decoder/lights. The decoder may require the motor connected to program it, and then disconnect it.

IIRC one of the very first Bachmann 37's was BCC D6607/37403 Ben Cruachan in BR Green, the 37/0's with buffer shrouds then followed ?

Shawplan supplies 37/40 split box plated etches

Would agree, the new Bach has the front cab window shape/size much better, the glazing rubbers being on the body also help. The factory prism glazing rather spoils it all, .....Laserglaze would finish it off very nicely !

Happy to be corrected, but think it's the 5th version/revision since first introduced.

Although it is possible the flywheels/motor may be slightly smaller than the earlier versions, due to the redesigned chassis changes, as was the case with the very latest revised Bachmann Class 24/25....
