We set ourself several goals with this release; 1\/ do a version never done before by us or by other manufacturers, 2\/ preferably something with some interesting tooling variations, and 3\/ try and continue the ‘Loch’ nameplate theme that has been a feature of our first and third production batches. The choice picked itself and we are happy to present the first Accurascale Class 37\/5 in the form of 37516 Loch Laidon, one of three ex-split headcode EE machines in the WCRC fleet with long-stored ex-Loadhaul 37517 and operational 37518 Fort William \/ An Gearasdan. As well as its nameplates, the addition of long corner handrails on the nose ends and the extra top lamp irons gave us an opportunity to showcase the flexibility of the project’s tooling suite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnother product of Robert Stephenson \u0026amp; Hawthorns in Darlington, the former D6786 was new to Gateshead in December 1962, becoming 37086 on the TOPS renumbering in February 1974. It was refurbished at Crewe Works in 1987 with the new number 37516 and continued its long association with the Eastern Region, albeit now based at Thornaby for metals traffic. In September 1994 it was only the second Class 37 to be released in the much-loved Loadhaul scheme and was notable as the only member of the shadow freight company’s fleet to never receive the bodyside logos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter an impressively long career with English Welsh \u0026amp; Scottish Railway it was sold to CF Booth at the end of 2008 and joined West Coast in February 2009. Incredibly within hours of its arrival at Carnforth the locomotive was started and even moved it around the depot under its own power. Its first test run took place in the May and it was shown off to the public at the Eastleigh Works Open Day at the end of the same month. It has been a regular on the WCRC roster ever since, on railtours, snowplough moves, SITT\/RHTT and freight\/infrastructure duties, and even had the honour of representing the company at The Greatest Gathering at Derby Litchurch Lane last August.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eCommon Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed OO scale model, 1:76.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate tumbleholme, nose, cab roof and cantrail curves taken from 3D Laser scan and extensive surveys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimeframe specific details, including but not limited to;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBogies (Fabricated and three variations of Cast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel tanks (As built and with later smooth-sided long range fuel tank)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Class 37\/0 features frost grille, boiler filler panel and access steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Class 37\/0 features illuminated split headcode displays with a selection of different four-character headcodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 37\/6 have operational WIPAC light clusters and top headlight and numerous different nose slides all including multiple working socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree styles of buffer: large round Oleo, oval and squared oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree styles of nose grilles: as built, refurbished ‘split’ and refurbished ‘single piece’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoiler exhaust, and two styles of plated boiler panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith or without bufferbeam skirts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith or without cab roof vents and bodyside windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose and roof aerials and antennas (where applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree styles of windscreen: standard, centre toughened and all toughened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree styles of cab interior: as built, refurbished and modern DRS locos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour bufferbeam variations with different piping configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor kickplates where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple body and nose slides to accurately represent almost every member of the class, including three variations of cantrail grille: early EE (for D6700-D6704), later EE and RSH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour roof styles: Original double riveted, single riveted, welded and welded with antennas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied etched metal and high fidelity plastic detail parts, including grab handles, aerials, steps, wipers, nameplates, crests and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal door kickplates (where applicable), ‘frost’ grille (where applicable) \u0026amp;
