This was to celebrate the loco's connection with the china clay industry, and to commemorate the man who founded the Cornish china clay movement, which is now over two hundred and fifty years old. 37 207 was the second choice – 37 142, one of our previous limited editions, was the original choice but was found to be in poor external condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCornish Railways\u003c\/strong\u003e was established in July 1983 and based at the Area Managers Office in Truro under the leadership of Arthur \"\"Rusty\"\" Eplett. The first use of the crossed flags was on rebranding Bodmin Parkway station which was renamed from Bodmin Road. This was after Rusty was given the brief by the Western Region to create a strong local identity brand for both marketing and staff morale purposes. Following a competition the creation of \"\"Wizzy Lizard\"\" lead to distinctive Cornish Railways staff uniform ties, logos on selected St Blazey Class 37s, leaflets using Wizzy Lizard and local publicity including adverts in the local press.

Following in the footsteps of the award-winning Bachmann Branchline Class 47, our all-new OO scale Class 37 has been designed from the rails up to ensure this classic locomotive is modelled more accurately than ever before, whilst the technical specification is equally impressive and incorporates the same great features as our Class 47. With high fidelity mouldings, numerous separately fitted parts and countless tooling variations to capture the minutiae of the real locomotives throughout their lives, our new 37 is brought to life with an exquisite livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos.

These 1,700hp Types 3 diesel-electric locomotives were built at English Electric’s Vulcan Foundry and by Robert Stephenson \u0026amp; Hawthorns between 1960 and 1965, with 309 examples produced in total. When TOPS was implemented the type was designated Class 37.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Dedicated freight locomotives received lower gearing to increase the tractive effort, and some were fitted with extra ballast or even more powerful engines. A new subclass was created for locomotives refurbished with Electric Train Heating (ETH) equipment, allowing their use on passenger trains the whole year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the sectorisation of British Rail taking hold in the early-1980s, the locomotives returned to traffic following refurbishment in a wide and diverse range of liveries. Passenger machines appeared in BR Blue Large Logo, InterCity and Regional Railways schemes to name just three, whilst freight engines received numerous varieties of Railfreight livery, Transrail, Mainline and Loadhaul. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56355876110716,"sku":"35-302Z","price":212.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/WEB_20230519_20BACHMANN_2035-302Z_1.83066_1ac6400c-029b-4255-878d-a2a76296cb26.jpg?v=1786091809","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/35-302z-bachmann-class-37-0-diesel-37-207-william-cookworthy","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
