37043 "Loch Lomond"

When you think of class 37s and particularly the split-box examples, you can't get much better than the Scottish-based machines with their distinctive large logo blue livery. This model ran superbly straight out of the box and has loads of detail. The lighting and sound functions are top-notch. The quality of the packaging is great as well.

What a superb model... over the years I have purchased many class 37 locos in OO but this must surely be as close to perfection as is possible. You only have to look at many of today's 'out of the box supermodels' and something falls off - not so with this one. Excellent sound, excellent running, excellent finish - and absolutely 'looks the part'. I'm happy 👌

The Class 37 is an absolutely phenomenal model, such fine details, crisp paint scheme on top of smoothing running and great pulling power. I highly recommend this to anybody considering purchasing it

Whilst waiting for 37608 to arrive which was my first loco preorder from accurascale, I just couldn't help myself when I saw accurascale post on social media that the left overs of 37043 had gone one sale. I snapped one up and I'm so glad that I did, what an amazing model. I have no fault to pick with it. Perfect performance, perfect detail and perfect sound. The only problem it's created for me is the fact that my 37608 pre order isn't sound fitted, so I shall definitely be picking up an accurathrash speaker and decoder when that arrives!

Having come back to the hobby since my first train set in 1976, I was surprised on how much has changed. I came across this new to me company Accurascale, I was interested to see how they stacked up against the traditional company I grew up with.
I was lucky to get hold of 37419 and was totally blown away with the model and the price. I had a few minor issues (sand pipes and dcc lights) but overall I wanted more.
Along came 36043, and WOW! How amazing is this model!!!! Sadly not run in yet as the layout is being redone and the space is needed for the moment. But I feel confidant it will be as good as 37419! I can’t wait for more. Would love a class 20 and class 08 in matching liveries now ;) hint hint

My third one and I still want MORE!!!

Another stunning example of how to nail a 37 in every department first time!!!

Detail is amazing, running quality is unmatched and it’s unbelievable that they are under £200!!

Compared to my first 37 it is light years ahead and if you haven’t got one yet you need to ask yourself WHY!!!

Having returned to the hobby after a 25 year gap I was surprised to see how far the models had come. When I was last into the hobby Accurascale obviously didn't exist. I had read a lot about them so I thought I would give them a try and purchased a Class 37.

WOW, this is by far the best loco I have, the detail, the performance and the sound is simply stunning. You know its something special as soon as you hold the box, it just oozes quality. Safe to say this wont be the last Accurascale purchase, at the last count I have about 7 on pre-order!

When its on the layout (Hillside Junction), even Network Rail Dave stands in awe!

Superb model. Just love all the attention to detail, especially the BR Timken on the axle covers. First time I’ve ever seen that from a model manufacturer. So glad I got my hands on one of these.

My fleet of class 37s just keeps growing. Loch lomond is the latest in the fleet. They really have something for everyone. Lighting is excellent, sound is top quality and the detail is excellent. One big plus is the option to have the plows and the coupling fitted together, why does no other manufacturers do this. Top marks from me and will be adding more to the collection.

Another highly detailed class 37/0 from accurascale,im over the moon with this one,cant wait to run it on my exhibition layout “banks road” which was in last months Model rail magazine..
Now looking forward to the accurascale DRS 37/6s..👍👍
Many thanks neil

I love the Class 37, and was very impressed by the Accurascale Class 37 in Metal Sector livery. But 37 043 'Loch Lomond' in BR large logo livery is absolutely stunning. The colours just pop and the locomotive really suits it.

Running is smooth and sound is very impressive. Coupled with the weight of the locomotive and the stay alive it feels like it will be very reliable even on dirty track. And I'd like to thank Patrick for his help in arranging a return when my first loco had an issue with sound - the service was excellent and in the rare event that you need it, it is good to know it can be relied on.

Received my Class 37 and many thanks. From opening the box to its first run on my tracks I am very impressed but I have only given 4 Stars. It certainly deserves 5 but I am having a problem getting the lights to work. I have followed the instructions on the card which I thought was correct but no lights. I did buy my 21 pin Loksound chip from Accurascale and set the little switches accordingly before installing and addressing the chip . So I tried again with the switches in a different position. The drivers dashboard lit up but no forward or rear lights. Perhaps I could receive some guidance from yourselves. Other than that, perfect and well worth the wait. It now joins my Class 55 and Class 92.

Another brilliant looking model full of details and supurb sound quality!

Astoundingly magnificent. I have been waiting for a while for this class 37, 37043, but it has been well worth it. The finesse of this model of a class 37 by Accurascale surpasses many that have come before. I’m very much still a DC modeller, so no sound here to be amazed by (not yet, as I may go down that route later) but that doesn't detract from the quality oozing from the model. Every bit of detail is there without being so fine that its easily damaged. Livery application is pure quality. The weight loco is spot on and is a nice and smooth runner. Easy access via the roof panel to make sure the main PCB switches are set correctly as well as the switches on the blanking chip for the tail lights etc. Cool feature. One of the other amazing things is the price. Very competitive and excellent value. I modelled this locomotive around 25 years ago using the Lima model. Still got it and it still works but I can now happily retire it for display. Looking forward to more Accurascale class 37s and other stock.

I waited almost three years for this, in the end it was worth it, superb looking model, amazing attention to detail, unbelievable price for such quality.

37043 Loch Lomond (dcc sound) arrived almost a year after my pre-order and it was well worth the wait! The detail is superlative. The colour just as I remember it and the sound is a knock out! Accurascale really have created an exceptional product with this one. And in terms of value for money - outstanding!

This is by far our best Loco to date. It looks great, sounds great and runs great. What more do you want from a Model Loco. I'm sure it wont be our last 37 from Accurascale.

Have waited a long time for this model to arrive. Was worth the wait. Couldn’t afford the sound fitted at time of ordering, however did end up purchasing the decoder and speaker just before delivery.
Was mega easy to fit. Only slight snag was some of the roof magnets came away from the body which then meant the roof didn’t sit snug. Had to separate the magnets and glue them into the body. Also no clips for the speaker supplied.
Detail and sound is fantastic think the price and value compared to other retailers is second to none. Really looking to my 31 and 66 on pre order. Plus the Mk2 coaches which will eventually sit behind Loch Lomond. Many thanks

This has got to be the best class 37 on the market. Fantastic fine detail with excellent applied livery and very smooth runner.

Absolutely delighted with it. My firm favourite of the Accuracale and new Bachmann 37s that I have acquired recently. A well made model all round and a joy to work on. Have fitted the sound chip, and Accurathrash speaker to it as I originally ordered the DCC ready version. Possibly my favourite loco!

The large logo livery looks stunning on a class 37 and this model really wears it well. The finish is lovely and it looks the part.
You do see where the removable roof section is on this model due to the light grey colour, but it fits well enough.
All other details are beautifully attached to the model and I cant wait to fire it up and enjoy the accura thrash speakers burst into life.
Is the yellow on the nose a bit too bright though?

Overall a great looking model. Some accurascale BR era Scottish 37/4’s are needed now!!!!
