While Harry Needle is most closely associated with Class 20s, his eponymous railway company has now acquired 11 Class 37s as they have slowly come up for sale by Direct Rail Services. ETS-fitted 37405 was the first member of the Class 37/4 fleet to be divested by the Kingmoor-based operator, joining the second batch of locomotives for tender in February 2022, exactly one year after it was placed into store. Resurrected at Barrow Hill it returned to the main line in November 2022 in an extraordinary shade of 'tango' orange that originally debuted on his former Class 20/3 machines in 2012. Now on hire to Colas Rail, it has principally been working infrastructure trains out of Shrewsbury Coleham depot with Network Rail's fleet of Class 97/3s. The configuration of this model matches our 'modernised' Class 37/4s from our first production run, complete with plated bodyside windows, LED tail lights, DRS multiple working socket, speedo cable and rectangular-style buffers.

You know when you've....

... bought a cracker. Very much a rule 1 purchase as out of era for me, but I was just drawn to the livery.
The first refurbished 37 from Accurascale for me, all my others being 37/0s and this one is up to to the same high standard,

Accurascale Class 37 - HN Rail - 37405

Another fantastic model from Accurascale. The orange, like on the real loco, is a bit bright, but is a good reason to wear sunglasses.

I bought the sound fitted version and was pleased to note that it was fitted with the 8 ohm version of the Accurathrash speaker. This should eliminate the start up problems which some people experienced with the first release. A good example of Accurascale listening to modellers who experience problems and fixing them. This bodes well for future developments.

With Accurascale's lifetime warranty, what is there not to like?

Highly recommended.

She lights up room ☀️

Not easy to loose, even in the dark. The paint on 37405 is spot on, it really pops just like the real thing. Not any easy colour to match I expect but Accurascale have nailed it again!

Another excellent model from Accurascale!

The tango tractor certainly didn't disappoint! The same high standard of DCC sound and lighting functions as we came to expect from the previous batch, but with improved quality control and sound reliability. Runs and sounds great with excellent finish and features. Highly recommend.
