                      Probably the best model of a 37 ever made

                      What can be said that hasnt already. Easily the finest detailed 37 in oo gauge to date and a fine addition to the layout

                      Best OO gauge Class 37 !

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

                      Amazing

                      Waited a long time for this to turn up, I knew it was gonna be worth it after seeing looking at my KUAs. Definitely don't regret getting it and can't wait to see if I can get hold of a large logo one now as well

                      ACCUR-MAZING

                      They’ve done it again! Another fantastic model by accurascale yet again. The sound file and speaker sounds utterly amazing and the detail and finish looks fantastic.

                      It’s that good I’ve had to order another one!

                      Great Loco

                      Excellent representation of WIPAC fitted Class 37, sounds great and can easily customise the lighting functions.

                      Fantastic

                      DRS Operations are one of my favorite railway subjects. One aspect of that is the long-time employment of early diesel classes such as the Class 37. Accurascale has not only captured the overall look of the class but has also incorporated all the subtle detail variations within the class as modified by DRS. As expected, the modelling has been executed to a high standard - the details and finish are all excellent.
