The Class 37 is a favourite for many, and the Graham Farish model captures the unmistakable look of the prototype with a highly detailed bodyshell and exquisite livery application.
Depicting a loco with split headcode boxes which have been plated over and fitted with a marker light in each, the high levels of detail are matched by a high level of performance thanks to the powerful motor, diecast chassis block, directional lighting and DCC decoder socket. Wearing the iconic BR Railfreight Red Stripe livery, number 37032 is a unique example having been given the unofficial name'Mirage' which was hand applied by the staff at its home depot, Tinsley.

These 1,700hp Types 3 diesel-electric locomotives were built at English Electric's Vulcan Foundry and by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns between 1960 and 1965, with 309 examples produced in total. 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.
A new subclass was created for locomotives refurbished with Electric Train Heating (ETH) equipment, allowing their use on passenger trains the whole year-round. 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.
