Really looking forward to 402. 043 is the first Accurascale loco I ordered in April 2020, so I’ll be near the front of the queue, which is nice. I have a week off and rubbish weather forecasted, so I can spend time indoors fettling it. Edited July 20, 2023 by 97406 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to give the hall sensors a go too! I got a Loch Eil with sound. It’s truly great, and often gets used with the track cleaning wagon so I can thrash it up and down the layout a number of times. I also have a sound equipped 419 which is also good, but could do with being backdated into late 80s guise ideally. The sound may just end up in the HTG Tractor I have on order. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know why? The last 60 class 37's had different electrics to the previous 259 and the donor locos for the 37/4's were deliberately chosen from this batch. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlandRed Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 8 hours ago, Phil Bullock said: Dont recall seeing altered WR lamp irons on 37s …. Standard lamp irons were usually added lower down , either 1 or 2 . Some locos eg 6844 in Scotland had a full set of everything… 2 WR headboard clips, 2 WR lamp irons and 2 BR lamp irons. There’s just no pattern to it! See Brush Veterans wonderful album Brush veterans EE3 photos on Flickr Thanks @Phil Bullock - yet another modification on some locos!! Thankfully the ones I’ve ordered from Accurascale (D6600 and D699x) were WR up to a point past the era I’m after (1967-9)!! Not sure if they’d been ‘molested’ by then…. hopefully not! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the WR ones got molested ! Take a look at 6885 for example in that Brush Veteran collection on Flickr …. 4 years apart admittedly but very different fittings on either end!

And not a WR lamp bracket in sight 6885 A end May 73 6885 B end Sept 69 Presumably the reason for it was that (G)WR pattern loco lamps gradually ceased to be available/repaired so brackets had to be provided to take an ordinary tail lamp (or a Bardic Lamp should one have to be used). We definitely didn't have any WP pattern loco lamps in our stores in 1974 but ordinary tail lamps were very much a stock item. And the original Western pattern high level lamp brackets must have been a nuisance to get to which might also have prompted the change? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted July 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2023 37043 has just arrived. Very nice indeed. No serious issues at all but do need to try it on the rolling road first. Only tiny things are: 1. Just a tiny bit of lost paint from the handrails on the lift out section. Nothing a bit of weathering won't hide. 2. A very small mark on one of the double arrows. Again probably done my job for me with the weathering so a none issue for me. 3. My engine room lights are visible through the glazing when looking side on. I will investigate this when I get back from a long weekend as this isn't the case with 37027 and feels like the PCB has somehow moved down slightly further than it should have. 4. The lighter roof isn't quite as kind as 37027 to the lift out section with it being ever so slightly more visible (and by that I mean just can actually only just make out a slightly darker gap with my glasses cleaned especially for the occasion :P) That's it. The detail is just outstanding, especially around the underframe. Really great job again chaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
