37051

This was my third class 37 from AS and ghe second one purchased direct from the company. Arrived in a quite enormous box with lots of packing. One buffer had come adrift but was easily re-attached. You do need to make sure it goes in the right way up, though. Detailing us quite superb as always with this manufacturer. I tend to fit buffer beam detailing to no 1 end and use tension lock at no 2.
I tried various ways of attaching the 3 piece ploughs, found it best to attach the centre plough before everything else, then the scrap coupling and pipes, then the outer ploughs last of all.
This loco in the period no longer had steam heat, so just the air and vacuum "bags" and multiple working cable are required. The last of these loops very close to the plough on the driver's side so I found a bit of gentle twisting was required to allow both to sit I'm the right place.
Running quality is excellent straight out of the box, but do ensure the switches underneath the removable roof section are correct for the type of decoder (or blanking chip as in my case) your model has. They all seem to come set for an ESU sound decoder, so it is important to look.

Accurascale have made, what must surely be, the definitive class 37 model. Full of detail and features, this is unbeatable.

Accurascale have created a winner with this loco and have moved the game on considerably in 00. Really head and shoulders above anything else I have bought so far. Detail is incredible and the sound is amazing. I particularly like the automatic flange squeal - that works really really well and the cab instrument lighting is just crazy!

You can see it running on my layout on instagram if you search for the hashtag #Cellarton

Accurascale really have captured the shape and sound of the Class 37. It’s the complete package. Detail is exquisite. Check out my full review on YouTube at my Dean Park station channel.

Loving the livery and front detail a really great model though certain things on the bachmann have me thinking ..

This was the first Accurascale 37 to enter my collection. Well worth the wait. Great detailing. I spot something new every time I study it. Excellent graphics reproduction. It certainly set the standard for the rest of the Class 37 range. Looking forward to further releases. Particularly impressed with the ease of affixing the bufferbeam detailing.

Wonderful loco

As a professional modelmaker I appreciate the level of detail and finish to this model,
Bought this one dc only, after running my 37 Loch Lomond with sound I need to upgrade this to sound

Fantastic model! After seeing so many club members with one, I felt I needed to get my own! Glad I did! Superb detail, and the running quality is out of this world!

The locomotive looks great, sounds great. Working car headlight is brilliant! Amazing detail.

I remember seeing 37051 at Motherwell many times (great memories, standing in B & Q Garden Centre overlooking the TMD).
The model, what can I say, superb, the best Class 37 ever modelled in 4mm and I have been modelling since the 60's.
Unboxing it and then placing it on the track it glided away silently, press 'F1' and it bursts into life; puts a smile on anyone's face.
Thanks to the team at Accurascale, keep up the good work.

Fabulous new model of the class 37 with great new features like the working car headlight taking me back to the 1990s and heavy freight around Motherwell and Mossend. Great fun and great value
Very happy with my model.

The best class 37 Model available on the market and at a brilliant price! A model thay matches the very successful and popular prototype extremely well with some superb detailing. The cab interior being a work of art and is an often overlooked area of modelling. Livery application is flawlessly applied. 5 star highly recommend!

This is without doubt the definitive 1.76 scale Class 37. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the design and manufacture of this model. For example, the removable roof panel to access the decoder, speaker and switches, the separate insert for the cab windows, which enables various patterns of window frame to be incorporated, while reducing the thickness of glazing and limiting the prism effect. I think this is the only Class 37 model which can be said to have truly flush cab windows and this vastly improves the appearance of the model. The moulded detail is crisp and true to scale while the bogies are a work of art in their own right. I like the fact that the accessory pack enables the full bogie end detail to be added including guard irons where a snowplough is not present. My example arrived with a missing etched bogie step for which I’m awaiting a spare, but otherwise there really is nothing to fault on this model. Now we just need an O gauge version.

I recently acquired the Accurascale Class 37 (37051), and I must say that I am utterly impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail of this model. As a passionate railway enthusiast, I always seek out the highest quality products to add to my collection, and the Class 37 from Accurascale exceeded all my expectations.

First and foremost, the level of precision in this model is unparalleled. From the delicate exterior design to the finely-crafted elements, it's evident that Accurascale has invested a great deal of effort and expertise in creating an accurate representation of the real locomotive. The livery and markings are flawless, and the paintwork is vibrant and consistent.

One aspect that stands out is the exceptional level of detail. Every component, from the grilles and vents to the handrails and window frames, is meticulously crafted to scale. The attention to even the smallest features is truly remarkable, and it adds a sense of authenticity that sets this model apart from others on the market.

Not sure I can added any plaudit to those already recorded here - still waiting to find out if the DC version should have interior lights and if so how to operate them

Great model with service to match
The sounds are excellent.
The buffer beam detailing needs to be addressed, the fitting holes are nowhere deep enough to accommodate the pipe work and need to be drilled out before they can be installed.
Like wise the snow ploughs are a real pain to fit.
Other than that it’s a great model and excellent value,
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards,
Mike Donnelly

This is a fantastic model. It’s definitely one of the very best in my collection. Great value for money and tremendously smooth in operation. The sound chip is up there with the very best. This loco is so good I have ordered another Class 37 from you on preorder. D6600 in green this time. 5 star plus.

What a piece of kit. This thing rocks due to its appearance coupled with the sound quality. Cross Motörhead with Marlyn Monroe and your part way there. Just sit and look at it or sit and listen to it. Wish I could link it to my Bluetooth beats headphones.

Beautiful model . Great runner straight from the box. Detail and paint finish superb . Highly recommended .

Excellent model and customer service

What a superb model. This is the definitive Class 37 and better than anything before it. The latest issue from the 'blue box' company runs it close but consider the cost - Accurascale version circa 20% cheaper and definitely better.

Please though Accurascale don't get carried away with the many rave reviews you are receiving, and don't assume customers will pay any amount for a decent model. This assumption has not done the 'red box' company any favours and they are now in financial difficulties.

Keep up the fantastic R&D which is clearly paying off with the models produced but keep the prices at your reasonable levels.

Accurascale once again have a winner with the class 37. An excellent method for placing pre-orders which is easy to complete.
Yes, the delivery dates slipped but all the way through Accurascale informed everyone via social media outlets and their website. They didn't leave us guessing unlike other manufacturers do.

The locomotive itself is stunning. Securely packaged in what is now Accurascale's standard large box it's still easy to extract without causing damage. Speaking of, lessons have been learned as I found nothing floating around after removing the locomotive. You can also tell that Accurascale are taking feedback onboard with the design of their locomotives. Various little things are improved over the previous releases.

My model being a sound fitted example, I do like that the function lists are on a seperate piece of card now. Not like the Deltic where they were within the booklet. It makes them easy to find and position for quick reference when running the locomotive.
The sound is also something that is very impressive. The speaker setup works spectacularly and I do like the features like drive hold, flange squeal and heavy/light loading modes.

Overall, it's a very impressive locomotive and I already have one of the next batch on order.

This thing is awesome the best one from Accurascale yet, if you haven't got one, you should order one!

Really pleased with this model,everything about it is first class the detail on it and it runs exceptionally well even at slow speed,would highly recommend this locomotive and I’ll certainly be getting more

Excellent loco

Absolutely a fantastic loco. The details are brilliant. Only regret is that I didn't get a sound fitted one. Well done Accurascale. 👏
