37409 „Lord Hinton“

I love everything about this model down to the box it came in. Fantastic quality, simply the best loco I own. Really well done Accurascale, please carry on the good work and the fair price point.

Absolutely hooked to these accurascale class 37s. The detail and the performance is faultless. Truly looking forward to adding more Accurascale 37s to the fleet and hopefully a 50 or 2 👍🏻 keep up the outstanding work!

Excellent model of 37 409, I got the sound version and it sounds superb. Highly recommend to get this. See it on my social media.

I was blown away with the level of detail on this model, it’s truly amazing. Everything about it feels special, from the packaging to the weight of the loco, the little pamphlet you get to the fantastic interior cab detail. The sound profile and running qualities straight out of the box are second to none, this was well worth the wait. Truly a 5 star product, would recommend 100%.

It’s been a long time coming but absolutely worth the wait. The first of four 37’s on order and it’s just stunning. The large logo livery just looks amazing and the sound superb. Accurascale have upped the quality of ready to run models to another level I’ve even got to electrify my layout Gloucester Road TMD as the 92 was so good. Can’t wait for the other three to come. Even the boxes are a work of art!

I thought the Deltic was superb...the 37 is seemingly even better!
Fabulous detail...it really captures the essence of the loco, from the rails to the roofline.
As for the sound...what a joy. Set up at a pleasingly good volume straight from the box, I've found myself just enjoying listening to the Tractor burbling away whilst its idling on the layout.
Congratulations Accurascale...totally nailed it!

Another fantastic model from accurascale the detail is excellent and crisp lines , runs and sounds amazing

Great looking class 37 locomotive large logo livery has been very well done and runs great.

Fantastic again fron Accurascale.
Detaining and finished absolutely superb with the added bonus of DCC Sound.

A real game changer of a OO gauge locomotive. The level of detail is next level, and the fact that the tooling covers so many individual locomotive modifications made to the class over the years is incredible. The sound quality is superb as is the build quality. Another top quality release from Accurascale.

Details on this Loco are amazing.

A magnificent representation of 37409 in OO and a fantastic addition to my collection. Well done Accurascale for a fantastic locomotive in minature!

A last minute decision to purchase this model with sound and glad I did. Excellent quality of detail as always from Accurascale, such a smooth runner and sounds great. I look forward to my next model from Accurascale!

One of several Accurascale Class 37’s that I have bought. The level of detail is amazing and the loco runs smoothly. Highly recommended.

Yet another great model from the Accurascale Class 37 stable. Nice large logo reproduction.

A couple of bits have dropped off but should go back on easily enough. Otherwise a beautiful model that deserves every accolade coming its way.

absolutely stunning model knocked it out of the park as per

The detail in the model is fantastic, such a smooth runner and so simple to fit the DCC chip and speaker. I have never seen so much detail in a 00 model.
Well worth the money and i look forward to the Class 50 i have on order.

The finest detail. The best technology, the 37 is a great bit of kit. Like a tail lamp, no train is complete without one!

Attention to detail is amazing.
Best value for money in railway
Modelling.
I feel proud to own an Accurascale locomotive.

I was fortunate enough to secure a model from the remaining stock once all orders had been fulfilled and I am happy that I did. The model arrived promptly and had no missing parts at all. There are a few small areas where the finish is not 100% perfect but once weathered it would be invisible. It does seem as though it's luck of the draw as to whether you get a flawless model or one with a few imperfections. However Accurascale are always willing to support or replace the model with another and this provides me with confidence to continue ordering online. This review remains 5 stars because overall I am thrilled with the model.

37409 "Lord Hinton" is my absolute favourite locomotive! It is a fantastic rendition of the class 37 and is particularly eye-catching with the red springs, yellow axle boxes and the superb metal steps to each cab.

Particularly amazing are the lit dials on the dashboard - incredible detail! It runs very smoothly, has loads of power and the sound is out of this world. Automatic flange squeal is very reliable - recognises every slight curvature and is a fun feature.

I took it to my local club here in Germany and they were all amazed by it - that you can buy such a detailed model for such a good price.

Looking forward to the 31s, 50s very much indeed!

A delightfully detailed model that both looks and sounds superb. The sound remains too quiet for my liking, despite having set it as high as I think I can.

The livery application is first rate and I can confirm the numbers are easy to rub off.

The DCC Sound is phenomenal even if it is not a specific DRS 37/4 sound profile (yes there are differences). Though I have the sound version, for those who do not, the ease to access the chip and speaker (and to fit to DCC Ready) is commendable, yet its implementation is somewhat let down by the roof not fitting exactly flush with the surrounding roof (there’s slight warping and the ends appear to ‘poke’ up giving a non-prop typical appearance)…still at least it is the same colour as the rest of the roof, unlike 37423! I am sure this can be over-come-by using a thicker/stronger grade of plastic to prevent minor warping for a tight fit.

I appreciate with any highly detailed model, compromises must be made. Yet, it is disappointing that the interchangeable front cab window part has implications for the overall look of the model. Focusing on the centre window, it is too ‘short’ and the horns above are too high up/distorting the shapes. This gives an appearance that the model roof is lower/shorter than it should be and the cab windows are under-scale.

One other minor bug for 37409, the DRS multi-socket is too low down and inside from the prototype (though again I suspect this is a compromise from the variation across the fleet).

These niggles limit the star rewarding, for me it comes back to the price which makes it feel like if it cost just that bit more there might have been no compromises… Yet, for the sheer wonder of the sound and overall improvements in detail over previous models, the design compromise around the cab window screen and lack of proportion to the shape in the area due to it, certainly keeps the model away from a low star.

Whilst I appreciate the packaging is recyclable, the sheer mass would have had an impact on shipping and transportation, by far a bigger carbon impact. We should be focusing on reducing volume and thus more efficient shipping to do our part as sustainable/public transport travel fans.

I should say, I have been paid 200 points worth £2 by Accurascale for this review. Naturally I have been motivated to provide a review for this reward. But have compensated with my perceived reality when compared to a prototype.

Having bought 37402 dcc ready,I kicked myself for missing out on 37409 which would make a great double headed team. Having watched the sound videos on you tube I decided to buy the sound chip and speaker for my 37402. While I was placing the order I received an email telling me there were 21 models available for 37409 Lord Hinton ! I immediately went the and ordered the whole hog sound fitted this time ..What a fantastic pair of 37s they are ! Without doubt the best locos I've ever bought so far for price ,detail and performance..I very highly recommend Accurascale models and look forward to new announcements on future models A+++++

Superb state of the art loco at an excellent price - little wonder that they sold out so quickly

Superb, looks right, sounds right, runs smooth top attention to detail, well done guys!
