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.

Colas Cracker

I’ve got this to top and tail a test train and it captures the 37 very nicely. Hopefully it will appear in its blue livery and Transrail branding in the future.

40 Year old favorite

40 years ago in my teens this was my favourite loco, so much so that I bought 2 of them from my precious pocket-money.

Coming back to the hobby 35 years later I went seeking the Class 40. Others on the market were,….. good to alright, but then this beauty landed on my doorstep and, just WOW!

Accurascale hasn’t disappointed me. Not only have they given me an incredible model, but also brought back wonderful memories of my teenage years.

I'll be looking to see what I can get in the next run.

Excellent model

Very pleased with the detail, the running quality and the sound. The only downside is I found the buffer beam details - brake hoses and MU cables nigh on impossible to fit - the holes and lugs are too small and difficult to locate, also they are not a simple push fit but need superglue to secure in place.

Another fine model

Yet again Accurascale have produced an industry standard beating model. The best model in all respects that is available, so why buy from another manufacturer, these are without doubt the most accurate and cost effective class 37 models available.
