The English Electric Type three, later Class 37 locomotive was built at the English Electric Vulcan Works and entered service as D6712 in March 1961. Under the TOPS numbering system, she was renumbered as 37 012 in February 1974.

She was initially allocated to Stratford depot and subsequently worked from Thornaby, Gateshead and March before being allocated to Eastfield in January 1981.
Whilst allocated to Eastfeild she was named ‘Loch Rannoch’ at Fort William on 31st March 1982. She was fitted with a headlight in December 1985 and she carried the name until June 1986.
Following her transfer to Tinsley in July 1989 she unofficially carried the name Derwent between September 1989 and November 1990. After periods working from Cardiff, Bristol Bath Road and periods in storage she was withdrawn in December 1999.

The Kernow Model Rail Centre Exclusive highly detailed model in 00 Gauge is being produced for KMRC by Bachmann. The model is the all-new Bachmann class 37 tooling with diecast chassis block housing a five pole, twin shaft motor with two flywheels providing drive to all axles. Rotating radiator fans are driven by an independent motor and gearbox (SOUND FITTED DELUXE version), operated via a DCC function. The body includes many separately applied metal detail parts, such as: grab handles, windscreen wipers, etched fan grilles and sprung metal buffers. The Dual Fitted speaker system returns, offering authentic sound reproduction and this is pre-fitted to every model, whilst the Class 37 features a new ‘Yard Light’ mode, allowing red taillights and/or marker lights to be displayed at both ends of the locomotive when operating on DCC. Using the model on DCC also provides cab lighting and engine room lights at the push of a button, whilst analogue operation sees marker lights, tail lights and headlights – where applicable – all illuminate as desired. Each model is supplied with a full set of decorated, model-specific bufferbeam pipework and accessory parts.

The KMRC Exclusive model features the following specific detail variations:
Pristine BR Blue large logo livery split headcode boxes fitted with marker lights, corner handrails, round Scottish car headlamp, bufferbeam without valance and oval buffers, original windscreen, English Electric cantrail grills, rivetted boiler roof with double row of rivets, original open boiler port and safety valves, sealed water filler door and plated access steps, fabricated bogies, original speedo drive and mileage counter, original water and fuel tanks and filler valve

The KMRC Exclusive class 37 is available in three formats, with standard DCC Ready versions, £244.95 with a Plux22 DCC decoder (The recommended decoder is Bachmann item No. 36-570). SOUND FITTED models, £344.95, are pre-fitted with a Zimo MS450P22 DCC Decoder, whilst the SOUND FITTED DELUXE format, £374.95, feature the new motorised fan system. In addition, the SOUND FITTED DELUXE specification includes windscreen glazing that has been treated with a specialist technique to replicate the tinting seen on the prototype.
