Accurascale’s latest batch of all-new ‘OO’ gauge Class 37 Co-Co diesels (HM192) have arrived, with the latest releases modelling the early Scottish ‘car headlamp’ style Class 37/0 variants.
These distinctive headlamps were applied to a collection of Class 37/0s allocated to British Rail’s Scottish Region in 1982, in a bid to improve visibility for drivers on the region’s Highland routes. Additional headlamps had already proved useful for several years on other classes and this new addition to the Class 37/0s was rolled out on locomotives at Eastfield and Inverness depots.
