Completed nearly six years after D6700 had left Vulcan Foundary, D6600 was the first of nine English Electric Type 3s to be numbered out of sequence as the fleet outgrew its allocated series and bumped up against the Western Regions D7000 'Hymek' locomotives. Delivered to 86A Cardiff Canton in August 1965 and then to Swansea Landore in 1971, later gaining the number 37300, it spent the first 20 years of its life primarily on freight duties in and around South Wales before eventually moving to Scotland at the start of 1985. It had barely settled in north of the border when it received the call to Crewe Works in the October for refurbishment as one of the Welsh-based Class 37/4s, 37429. D6600 wears its original BR green with small yellow warning panel and features its as-built nose condition with no riveted strenthening plate and WR-style lamp irons only.

Class 37 BR Green (small yellow panel) 'D6600'

My fleet of Accurascale Class 37s continues to expand with my latest purchase (D6600). The delivery time was excellent and the model was well packaged. An informative booklet was also included and discussed the history of the Class 37s. A very detailed model with an attractive livery. I am very pleased with my latest purchase from Accurascale.

D6600 class 37

Another winner from Accurascale and not my first version of this class. Missed out on the Network version & hopefully will be considered again. Would love to see a Class 97/3s of these. Excellent value & top notch build plus life time guarantee.

Yet another great 37 to my collection, crisp printing and smooth runner. I prefer a split headcode 37 but this fits right in :)

very nice model which runs very well

I ordered this in Aug 2023 and it finally arrived September 2024 having been expected in 1st quarter of 2024. The model is very nice and runs well pulling 8 coaches up my 1 in 40 slope without any problem. the only disappointment is the head code lights which only illuminate the outside two characters. it appears that the led set up the same as on other class 37 models which only require the outside lights. i thought that the centre 2 lights would be added as there are empty pre drilled holes ready for them on the earlier models. Nevertheless still happy with this model and plan to order other models soon.

Utterly Superb

Well where do I start, my new model of the class 37 arrived well packaged and boxed to avoid any damage. After removal it is by far the best diesel locomotive I have ever purchased and superb value for money. The weight and detail are second to none. Wish I had got in quicker to order the anticipated class 31. Well done all at Accurascale I am one very pleased customer.
