The highlight of the Direct Rail Services' annual open day in 2022 - the first such event since 2019 - was the official unveiling of 37218 in a 'heritage' livery backdating the centre headcode machine to its original DRS paint scheme with rectangular branding that it wore after departing Brush Traction, Loughborough in 2002. This was one of five Class 37/0s to be put through a major refurbishment in the early 2000s, which included extensive reworking to the nose ends with WIPAC light clusters, top headlight and DRS multiple working equipment as well as a full cab upgrade with new control desk and sound proofed partition to bring them up to an almost identical specification to the operator's Class 37/6 locos that featured heavily in our first production run. Although intially outshopped with plated headcode still extant this was removed on its repaint into the 'fade' scheme in 2014 and the Accurascale model will correctly feature the smoothed off nose, toughened windscreens and welded long range fuel tank of the real thing.

Opening the box

Very well detailed model.
On testing its functions and sound it was then a running test at dead slow speed, excellent capability with no faltering even on insulfrog points thanks maybe to it's stay alive or my power feeds to track.
Lighting functions good and engine exhaust sound excellent but wasn't happy with horn sound.
Good weight for traction and although I haven't pulled a long rake imagine it will do its job well as the prototype.
Only one bug bare is sand pipes were a bit bent out of shape but an easy fix.

Class 37 DRS sound fitted.

Once again another fantastic model. Runs smoothly and very quiet. Then the sound functions are perfect. Accurascale are the only go too company for me now. Especially with the back up of a lifetime warranty in place. And the aftersale service is fantastic too. I just cannot fault accurascale. They have very helpful technicians to hand. And will sort your problems out. Give them a go. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Tractor

I must admit I placed my order with some trepidation having experienced derailment issues with a Class 37 from the 1st batch of releases. Accurascale gave me a full refund for that model and I moved on. Happily this new model ran smoothly right out of the box with no issues whatsoever. It’s a beautiful model, to my eyes at least, and the sound is outstanding. It’s a 5⭐️ model all the way and I’d highly recommend all tractor fans to add one to their collection. If there’s to be a 3rd and possibly a 4th batch or more I’d like to see Accurascale add a working fan. It would be nice too to have pre-assembled buffer beam detail like the 66 as the old school glueing the pipes into the too small holes is a real faff. In contrast it’s very simple and straightforward to fit cab figures.

Perfection

This is my 5th Accurascale class 37 partially funded from Accurascale s loyalty point s system. This loco is superb like all the others .The attention to detail and the sound from the loco puts them at the top of the 37s available.Any of my 37s have pulled ALL of my 21 American 53' double stacked container well cars looking forward to my 3 class 60s and 2 class 66
Well done Accurascale
Many thanks

Super loco

A great loco, looks and sounds really good, especially with some LLNW or flask wagons. Like on my other two Accurascale 37s, I’ve tweaked some of the functions and lighting brightness to suit my own preferences
