lt;pgt;Class 37/4 37414 'Cathays Camp;amp;W Works 1846-1993' BR Regional Railwayslt;/pgt; lt;pgt;The British Rail Class 37 is a favourite among enthusiasts and modellers alike and, having been a firm fixture in the Bachmann Branchline OO scale range for many years, in 2022 an all-new model of this iconic locomotive was launched. Built to unprecedented levels of accuracy and fidelity, the new Branchline model incorporates the latest technology and shares many common features and specifications with the award winning Bachmann Branchline Class 47. This model depicts a Refurbished Class 37/4, namely No. 37414 ‘Cathays Camp;amp;W Works 1846-1993’ in BR Regional Railways colours.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Following in the footsteps of the Class 47, our all-new OO scale Class 37 has been designed from the rails up to ensure this classic locomotive is modelled in all its glory. With high fidelity mouldings, numerous separately fitted parts and countless tooling variations to capture the minutiae of the real locomotives throughout their lives, our new 37 is brought to life with an exquisite livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos. Along with an exceptional array of lighting features, our Dual Fitted speaker system is fitted to all models – bringing to life our SOUND FITTED models. For the ultimate experience, choose one of our award-winning SOUND FITTED DELUXE models with their motorised radiator fan and authentic tinted windscreen glazing!lt;/pgt; lt;pgt; lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Bachmann Branchline OO Scalelt;br /gt;Era 8lt;br /gt;Pristine BR Regional Railways liverylt;br /gt;Running No. 37414lt;br /gt;Named ‘Cathays Camp;amp;W Works 1846-1993’lt;br /gt;Etched Nameplates includedlt;br /gt;Equipped with a Plux22 DCC Decoder Socket – recommended Decoder item No. 36-570Alt;br /gt;Length 245mmlt;br /gt; lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;DETAIL VARIATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODELlt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Central Headcode Panels – Plated and fitted with Sealed Beam Marker Lightslt;br /gt;NRN Aeriallt;br /gt;Nose-Mounted ETHlt;br /gt;High Intensity Headlightlt;br /gt;Bufferbeam Valance Removedlt;br /gt;Coupling Bash Platelt;br /gt;Oval Bufferslt;br /gt;Original Windscreenlt;br /gt;English Electric Cantrail Grilleslt;br /gt;Welded Boiler Rooflt;br /gt;Plated Boiler Port and Safety Valveslt;br /gt;Sealed Water Filler Door and Plated Access Stepslt;br /gt;Cast Bogieslt;br /gt;Original Speedo Drivelt;br /gt;Slow Speed Controllt;br /gt;Twin Fuel Tanks with one Gauge per Tank (left hand tank each side)lt;br /gt; lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;BACHMANN BRANCHLINE CLASS 37 SPECIFICATIONlt;/pgt; lt;pgt;MECHANISM:lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Five pole, twin shaft motor with two flywheels providing drive to both bogieslt;br /gt;All axle drivelt;br /gt;Electrical pickup from all wheelslt;br /gt;Separate metal bearings fitted to each axlelt;br /gt;Diecast metal chassis block and bogie towerslt;br /gt;Diecast metal gearboxes, with gearing arranged for prototypical running speeds and haulage capabilitieslt;br /gt;5mm (OO gauge) wheels to NEM310 amp;amp; NEM311 standards with authentic profile and detailinglt;br /gt;Detachable coupling pockets to NEM362 standards fitted to each bogielt;br /gt;Designed to operate on curves of second radius (438mm) or greaterlt;br /gt;DETAILING:lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Bogies constructed from multiple components featuring full relief detaillt;br /gt;Rotating radiator fan, driven by an independent motor and gearbox, operated as part of the sound project on DCC and Analogue control (SOUND FITTED DELUXE models only)lt;br /gt;Tinted windscreen glazing (SOUND FITTED DELUXE models only)lt;br /gt;Separately applied metal detail parts, including grab handles, windscreen wipers and etched fan grilleslt;br /gt;Sprung metal bufferslt;br /gt;Each model supplied with a full set of decorated, model-specific bufferbeam pipework and accessory partslt;br /gt;LIGHTING:lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Directional lighting, including headlights and high intensity headlights where applicable, switchable on/off at either end on DCC or Analogue controllt;br /gt;Cab lighting*, assigned to two DCC functions for separate switching of eachlt;br /gt;Separately switched Engine Room lighting*lt;br /gt;‘Yard Light’ mode*, red tail lights and/or marker lights displayed at both ends (*when used on DCC)lt;br /gt;Authentic light colours and temperatures selected for each model based on era and applicationlt;br /gt;DCC:lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Plux22 DCC decoder interfacelt;br /gt;SOUND:lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;Two quality speakers employed for optimum sound reproduction, fitted to every model as standardlt;br /gt;Zimo MS450P22 DCC Sound Decoder fitted to SOUND FITTED and SOUND FITTED DELUXE versionslt;br /gt;Four sound projects to accurately capture the sounds of Class 37/0s as originally built, those with thermostatically controlled fans, Class 37/4s and DRS-modified locos.lt;br /gt;Sound files for each project produced specifically for the Bachmann Branchline Class 37 using recordings from real locomotiveslt;br /gt;SOUND FITTED and SOUND FITTED DELUXE models operate on DCC and Analogue control as supplied.

These 1,700hp Types 3 diesel-electric locomotives were built at English Electric’s Vulcan Foundry and by Robert Stephenson amp;amp; Hawthorns between 1960 and 1965, with 309 examples produced in total. When TOPS was implemented the type was designated Class 37.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;The class proved popular with railwaymen and so in 1985, a major refurbishment programme for the Class 37 locomotives was sanctioned to extend the working lives of 135 locomotives. Features of the refurbishment involved plating over the four-character head codes and sealing off the nose end communication doors. Dedicated freight locomotives received lower gearing to increase the tractive effort, and some were fitted with extra ballast or even more powerful engines. A new subclass was created for locomotives refurbished with Electric Train Heating (ETH) equipment, allowing their use on passenger trains the whole year-round.lt;/pgt; lt;pgt;With the sectorisation of British Rail taking hold in the early-1980s, the locomotives returned to traffic following refurbishment in a wide and diverse range of liveries. Passenger machines appeared in BR Blue Large Logo, InterCity and Regional Railways schemes to name just three, whilst freight engines received numerous varieties of Railfreight livery, Transrail, Mainline and Loadhaul. The Class continued to be widely used into the Privatisation-era, with examples operating for the likes of EWS, DRS, West Coast Railways and Colas, whilst others have received ‘retro’ heritage repaints.lt;/pgt;
