Cruachan the Throttle: 37403 Roars In!
Exciting news from Accurascale UK:

Headlining the upcoming fourth run of our Class 37s, Accurascale are delighted to announce an exclusive OO Gauge model developed in partnership with the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS) - the celebrity stalwart 37403 Ben Cruachan in retro British Railways green livery.
Continuing our partnership with the SRPS, this latest collaboration will see the Society receive a proportion of revenue from every model sold, supporting its vital work in preserving Scotland’s railway heritage.

Price, Availability and Pre-Ordering Options
As ever, we strive to offer the British outline modeller the very best bang for their bucks, and in the case of the Class 37 it is no different! We're maintaining the pricing from the last run of £189.95 for the DC/DCC-ready variant and £289.96 for the DCC Sound fitted locomotive, despite inflationary pressures. All that industry leading specification, wrapped up in a museum quality finish, leads you to the best value in the market today.
We will be delivering 37403 Ben Cruachan as part of our forth run of Class 37s, which is scheduled for Q2 2027.
With demand for this model expected to be extremely high, we recommend placing your pre-order now - don’t forget, no deposit is required and you’ll also benefit from fast, free UK delivery, and collect Accurascale Reward Points that you can exchange for discounts on future purchases too!

A quick look around the progression of LNER D49 No.246 ‘Morayshire’ lots of progress on the frames, rods, motion and lining up the cylinders with the slide bars and motion bracket.
The boiler is progressing well off site too.

It’s going to be lovely to see LNER apple green along with the Thomson & Gresley stock at Bo’ness, we have the Thomson with scumbled teak effect in the workshop undergoing work as well now the bogies have come back from overhaul, with the hope of having this coach back into service before the end of the year.
