Le 37140 du dépôt de mars a été l'un des premiers Class 37 à obtenir le phare haute visibilité, étant ainsi équipé à la mi-1986. Il a également gagné une bande de cantrail orange plus tard la même année avant de retourner à Stratford en mai 1987. Bien qu'affecté aux tâches d'infrastructure d'East Anglian, il n'était pas étranger au travail de fret ou de passagers, figurant régulièrement sur les jambes d'été de Norwich-Gt Yarmouth. services depuis Londres, les Midlands et le Nord-Est. Le modèle Accurascale reproduit l'état de la locomotive à la fin des années 1980 et au début des années 1990 avec des clips de tête de lit et des fers à repasser standard et lorsqu'il est orné du logo de la mascotte «cockney sparrow» et d'un flash DCE jaune sous les fenêtres de la cabine du second homme. 37140 était un survivant tardif en bleu BR, avec ses collègues 37216 et 37219 basés à East London, troquant finalement son "image d'entreprise" pour le "néerlandais" de l'ingénieur civil en octobre 1991.

Whats not to love about a BR Blue class 37, and this model doesn't disappoint. Well made with superb decoration and a smooth runner. Another 1st class model.

Another cracking model from the Accurascale boys

Well, I ummed and aahed enough over this one, but eventually succumbed to the inevitable. A blue centre headcode tractor was always going to be hard to resist! Not that I'd necessarily choose a headlight fitted Eastern Region 37 with orange cantrail stripes, but ho hum (subtle hint). Nevertheless this loco in this very condition was sampled on a West Anglia Gala day from Seven Sisters to Stratford (via Temple Mills if memory serves), which makes it excusable. Enough has been said about the excellent detailing and top notch performance of AS locos, this example is no exception to the rule. An interesting change, following my comment on the protective packing on another recent purchase, the boxes now come with protective 'shoe box' ends which are cardboard so reducing waste and ensuring all round protection of the outer box. It's great to see that the team pays attention to such issues. On that note, congrats on the new addition to the Burke household. Hope you're getting some sleep, Fran, YNWA!!!
