Bachmann Europe PLC has released the first of its Class 37/4 locomotives in the form of 37410 Aluminium 100 (Catalogue No. 32-382).
309 locomotives were built by English Electric between 1960 and 1965. Following a major refurbishment programme in the mid 1980s, 31 locomotives were fitted with electrical train heating for use on passenger services, including 37410 which was used on the West Highland Line in Scotland.
The Class 37 locomotives have high route availability and some thirty locomotives across each of the sub-classes remain in service with a number of current operators including EWS, DRS, Eurostar and West Coast Railway Company. A large number have also been preserved for use on heritage lines. A number of locomotives have also seen use working engineering trains for major infrastructure projects in France and Spain.
The recommended retail price of the Class 37/4 locomotive is 65.15. The model features opening cab doors, working cab lights and etched fan grille.
