Few locomotives capture the imagination quite like the mighty Class 37, and Accurascale's latest batch delivers another stunning selection of prototypes covering over six decades of railway history.
Due to arrive in Q2 2027, these highly anticipated models are now available to pre-order from Rainbow Railways, with both DC/DCC Ready and DCC Sound Fitted versions available.
Presented in the striking maroon colours of West Coast Railways, 37516 "Loch Laidon" represents one of the most recognisable preserved-era Class 37s operating today. Featuring a refurbished Class 37/5 bodyshell with flush headcode panels and plated corridor connection doors, this locomotive is perfect for modern-era layouts depicting charter, railtour and infrastructure operations.
The ever-popular BR Engineers' "Dutch" livery returns to the Accurascale range on split-headcode machine 37106. A familiar sight on infrastructure and engineers' trains throughout the 1990s, this unrefurbished Class 37/0 perfectly captures an important period in British Rail's final years and early privatisation era.
One of the most distinctive Class 37s ever to run in Cornwall, 37185 carries the famous "Wizzy the Lizard" logos applied to locomotives working the county's iconic china clay traffic. This unique model is the perfect partner for Accurascale's excellent clayhood wagons and is certain to become a favourite amongst Western Region enthusiasts.
For fans of classic BR Blue, 37088 offers a superb representation of a traditional split-headcode Class 37. Complete with original bufferbeam fairings and presented in plain BR Blue, this locomotive is ideal for recreating railway scenes from the 1970s and 1980s.
Going right back to the beginning of the Class 37 story, D6713 appears in original BR Green as an English Electric Type 3. Allocated to Stratford following construction at Vulcan Foundry in 1961, this locomotive represents the dawn of dieselisation and the start of what would become one of Britain's most successful locomotive classes.
Don't forget that you can also secure Accurascale's previously announced exclusive Class 37s alongside these latest releases:
• D6724 in mid-1960s condition, supporting the Heavy Tractor Group
• 37403 "Ben Cruachan" in BR Heritage Green, supporting the Scottish Railway Preservation Society
• 37716 in modern DRS "Fade" livery, produced in partnership with Rainbow Railways
These special editions continue to prove extremely popular and are expected to sell strongly ahead of release.
