My apologies Paul - I didn’t mean to imply any slight. You are not wasting your time with your summaries. And I wasn’t really making a joke: are the J39 and 5MT running a bit late, or are they now Jan/Feb 2023?

It was also bizarre that the Mk 2 TSO was produced in Network SouthEast livery for the NSE Capital Connection box set but the run was not extended to make the NSE TSO available as a single coach for purchase - it is urgently needed! Also, another gap is a Farish Class 37 in all over DB Schenker red. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 29, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2022 Interesting you mention the DB Schenker Class 37, it came up in conversation elsewhere today and the general consensus was that it would probably never be that good a seller (a regional Limited Edition at a push) simply because, despite the popularity of the livery per se, the actual 37's painted in it failed miserably so the time span for them to be modelled is extremely short. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) One only lasted a few days before a major engine failure and that was it. The other managed a little better but overall it was a colossal waste of money by DBS repainting them. Also one had the horn relocated to the front of the nose roof for no readily apparent reason, that would require a retool which is never going to happen. They could just release a version with the horn in the normal place but, oh the whinging that would generate....

There was 3 of them 419 which failed, 401 and 670 which ran paired and got repainted I think as Northern Belle were not happy with the state of them when used on an Oban trip. They were all knackered and sounded rough and failed on a tour I was involved with just before repaint. As for choice of livery Bachfar 37s are that short on supply they could probably paint them in any colour and they will sell.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 419 and 670 were the red pair, 419 was the one that didn't last long. 401 was EWS but with a grey roof, retained from its Royal Scotsman livery. Moving the horns to the nose top on 670 (and one or two others) was for RHTT services on routes that 37s with roof mounted horns couldn't work. DRS later met this need by using ex split box machines.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted June 6, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 6, 2022 I'd take one of the Eastfield more yellow but no actual Large Logo split box 37's. 37027 I think plus 111 and 112. Prefer not 111 though as I already have done one of those. It was disappointing to see the Large Logo 37 announced this time was a modern version rather than classic 1980's interpretation but they can still redeem themselves yet. When are the next announcements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo That's right, my memory wasn't working when I typed that up. 670 was pulled from the scrapline and ran in its faded condition for a while. I think most of those 37s failed at some stage on trains I was involved with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently planning to strip a Large Logo 418 to paint as 404 in that scheme. I think about two thirds of the /4s carried it more or less late 80s to mid 90s period but we still have them doing COLAS which only one carried..... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope these are vanilla DCC ready and not fitted! Also, is there a definitive list of what retailers fall into which area? I am tempted by 37025... So am 1.
