37903
Flying the flag for their as-converted condition in Railfreight grey is 37903, the former 37249/D6949. Outshopped from BREL Crewe in February 1987, the former Eastern Regional machine quickly readjusted to its return to South Wales, having been delivered to Cardiff Canton in December 1964. Dedicated to Railfreight Metals duties, albeit with the odd coal turn, it was one of the first pair of Class 37/9s to gain the Roundel triple-grey livery in August 1988, although curiously with BR arrow decals rather than the aluminium castings afforded to most other repaints. Happily this was rectified by 1989, although Canton never did go so far as to apply depot plaques at the other end. Despite joining the Trainload Freight West fleet, later Transrail, in 1994, it retained its Metals brandings right to the final curtain in December 1998, EWS deciding not to authorise a required ‘C’ exam required for it to remain in traffic. Another victim of the non-standard nature of the Class 37/9s combined with accelerating Class 66 deliveries. 37903 hung on until April 2005 and was the last to be scrapped, cutting being undertaken by a Harry Needle team at Crewe Diesel Depot.

This is a good looking loco that's at home on heavy steel and coal freight. The sound is decent and easy to control. a bit of light weathering really brings out the details. Only not giving 5 stars because a buffer fell off and needed glueing back on.
This is my 3rd Accurascale Class 37 and this one looks even better in person. Nice looking typical Accurascale Box and the Loco is so wonderfully detailed and it runs just great out of the Box.
Livery is just fantastic loved railfreight grey
Delighted to have this 37/9 in my collection
37s have always been my favourite diesel locomotive and this new addition does not disappoint. It looks every inch a 37 and sounds like a 37. For me it's great to see Accurascale improving it's already excellent models with every new release and investing in the more niche members of the classes.
Fantastic job, thank you team Accurascale.
Another stunner. Brining back the memory of visits to Crewe, Cardiff and Newport in the mid & late 80s. Well finished and with added extras such as the working roof fan.DCC sound works well and sounds good.
5 ☆☆☆☆☆ 🚜 Tractor, ticks all the boxes. If you can get hold of one grab it quickly ! Best 37 ever! Model Candy alright.
Another excellent model. A perfect rendition of the prototype including the sound.
Great looking loco, looks and sounds amazing, lots of detail and paint finish is perfect, runs smoothly, looking forward to put it to Railfreight duties!
Well this slug doesn’t disappoint.
Yet again, another beautiful looking and sounding loco. Livery looks spot on, as is the detailing.
Can’t wait to put it to work with the tractors in the fleet
very pleased with this class 37 Accurascale have very definitely raised the bar on model railing
Great looking model of a long absent version of this classic class. Not the sound of your average tractor, but looks great hauling a steel load round the layout.
Brilliant model as always, runs like a dream. My only gripe was the packaging wasn’t up to your usual standards. It was loose and and the box was big.
Excellent detail and very heavy !
Another fantastic Accurascale model, amazing sound.
As usual the attention to detail is great. The wait for an accurate 37/9 is over and this model does it justice. Good livery application too.
This 3rd generation of what is easily the best 37 on the market, is a stunner. Many upgrades from the last batch, working fan, radiator behind the now etched grill and top notch sound file. Absolutely brilliant. Hopefully some 37/7's in the next batch.
Very please with this. Subtle improvements over the previous versions with improved front windscreen and bommet doors. The most obvious feature is the sound. It does not sound like my other 37sbut it is not supposed too. Brillant model.
Looks great and runs well, nothing fell off in the box.However the sound file is not up to par with other 37’s. The bass seems to be lacking.
Yet another superb locomotive from Accurascale, it was protected well for the journey to me, and looks absolutely superb, just as I remember seeing and photographing the real 37903 in BR days. Not had chance to run it yet, but looking forward top hearing the Mirlees engine sounds, as it will stand out from my existing English Electric fitted Class 37s
CARDIFF CANTON DEPOT IN THE LATE 1980'S AND THE SOUND OF 37'S FILLS THE AIR, BUT THEN A STRANGE ENGINE COMES UNDER THE BRIDGE, IT LOOKS LIKE A 37 BUT SOUNDS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
THIS MODEL BROUGHT BACK CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF HOLIDAYS IN SOUTH WALES VISITING MARGAM, CARDIFF & NEWPORT
SOUNDS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT ANOTHER FANTASTIC MODEL FROM ACCURASCALE!
My Railfreight Large Logo model was perfect straight out of the box and ran beautifully smooth and sounded excellent but I would like to point out that the exclusive Loram Rail model one aluminium door step fell off and three steps fell off the Europhoenix model and they had to be reattached. This seems to be a common problem as mentioned in other reviews of these two models. Looking forward to my next batch of class 60s.
Excellent loco
Another great addition the detail is amazing
A beautiful model. Initially experienced some distortion on the high frequency sounds. It was cured by removing and replacing the magnetic roof. Must have shifted in transit.
Excellent detailed model
