Acquired as part of the mass transfer of Class 37/4s from DB Schenker to Direct Rail Services in 2011, 37422 is unique among the ETS-fitted EEs in having been repainted in the company's dark blue livery but having never received any ownership branding. Reworked for DRS service at Railcare's Glasgow Works with final rectification work undertaken at Barrow Hill, for a long time it looked like its repairs would never be completed. Finally returning to the main line towards the end of 2015, when demand for passenger Class 37s was its peak - with both Cumbrian and Anglia 'short sets' in action - the former D6966/37266 has been a stalwart member of the fleet ever since. Latterly embellished by DRS staff with tiny BR double arrows, cast Victorious nameplates, its pre-rebuild numbers and, most curiously, Stratford depot 'cockney sparrow' motifs, the loco exhibits a different configuration of features compared to former colleague 37405, with bodyside windows still in situ, nose-mounted antenna, top lamp iron and no speedo cable

Pleasantly surprised

I have several Accurascale Class 37 models. Based on those, I had every expectation that this model would be just as good - and it is. However, one surprise with this is model is its impression when viewed up close. I bought this because I'm interested in DRS and wanted to have examples of the different DRS liveries. I will admit I thought this livery was quite plain, but I bought it for completeness. I was surprised when I saw it - I don't know if it's the plainness of the livery but the subtle details on the body and all the markings really stand out. Superb.

Wonderful Model

It looks great, feels great (it weighs a ton!), and runs silkily smoothly, and has mighty haulage capacity.

I love watching it run on the layout.

Impressive model

I have to admit to not being an absolute purist but this a beautiful model - Id like to weather it but haven't got the nerve. Can't wait to see it running on the layout rather than just the rolling road.

Accurascale Victorious once again

Another excellent Class 37 from Accurascale. The attention to detail is superb, even down to the different shades of paint on the ends as per the prototype. My only criticism is that the yellow paint has been applied a little too thickly.

Brilliant Class 37

Absolutely love this class 37. The livery is great and it runs as good as it looks.
My only moan is that I couldn't buy more to add to my collection as I could only afford 1 loco and they sold out so fast before I could raise more money for a 2nd.
