Update - Accurascale OO Gauge Class 37

Accurascale have provided another update on the OO Gauge range of Class 37 Diesel Locomotives

Accurascale have been busy assessing, testing and also fitting the separately applied parts, such as hoses and the gorgeous body mounted ploughs (bogie mounted ploughs also provided) as well as the etched nameplates which will also come with each loco, so you can see them fully dressed.

Some issues did crop up with these samples and are being adjusted for the finished models. This includes the correct bogies on 37419, adjustments to the fit of the handles/grabs on the roof of all models and the lamp irons on 37423 have also been adjusted.

The response to this range has been immense so far with many items already sold out on pre order with very few left available to order!

Sample photos for most of the range can be viewed at the link below also.
