The Colas Rail Class 37 fleet is full of interesting oddballs but none come close to 37116, which made its triumphant return to the main line in late 2015 after being acquired from a preservation career at the Chinnor & Princes Risborough in January 2014. While the locomotive retained its unique flush rebuilt noses, replacement welded long range fuel tank and revised bodysides from its 1990s Transrail rebuild, its new owner also specified toughened windscreens, all details the Accurascale model accurately depicts. It was initially outshopped from HNRC's workshops at Barrow Hill in BR blue, but quickly repainted into the striking Colas livery at the start of 2016. Since then it has been one of the most reliable members of the fleet, primarily working Network Rail test trains all over the country. Our model wears the later style of Colas logo, applied in the second half of 2020.

Another First Class 37

This is my second Accurascale 37, but it is my first DCC loco. So have a lot of learning to do with the DCC controller and all of the function buttons. The loco is so quiet running and smooth. Great detail all over the loco, looks so smart running over the layout.

First class model

Another successful model from Accurascale. Smooth running straight from the box. Even I. A dirty track and yet to be run in. Sound quality very good compared to a recent purchase from another well known company. One small problem. One chain dropped down from the chassis on its first full run round my layout. Contacted Accurascale. They came back with a very prompt reply. Suggested removed body shell and using PVA to re stick it. Body was easy to remove. Took the opportunity to install Accurascale figures in the cab at the same time.

Another Belter!🟡⚫️🟠

The latest class 37 from Accurascale has landed this week & it’s the long anticipated Colas RailFreight version. Finally I have a loco suitable for hauling the NR test train. As with all of the other Accurascale 37s I own this one hasn’t disappointed. Superb detail from the cab interior to the roof!
Add to that the wonderful growling sounds from the Loksound decoder & Accurathrash speaker, what’s not to like?
The loco looks right at home on the layout.
Very happy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Colas 37116

Been waiting some time for this one and now it's here I'm very pleased. It's nice to see that Accurascale have made the effort to get the pipes mounted in the correct position as per the actual loco. A really nice touch. Well done.
