Meet The 37's, New & Old in my collection. 74 : Plus a Sound Comparison Test.

Hi, the layouts looking great. That 37 looks and sounds amazing, probably just needs weathering ..then perfect!

[@WHP1980s]

Once I'm happy with her, I'll be starting to lightly weather the underframe and then the roof. Cheers Graham 🙂👍

[@delphjunction1168]

Hi Graham. Great loco, just bought an Accurascale 37. Not sound fitted though. Great rake of coaches as well. Brilliant layout. Thank you for sharing. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete....

[@WHP1980s]

May buy some more Accurascale in the future, but I've only bought the class 55 deltic so far. Many thanks, Graham 😊 👍

[@johnwebster2525]

Hi Graham . Great collection of “ tractors” you have . I presume they are 21 pins? If so don’t forget to turn off the locos rear reds when pulling a train ! Your new project of renewing the landscape, may I suggest a line side fence to stop the cows straying onto the line. Keep up the good work. Regards John

[@WHP1980s]

"Tractors 🚜 " I guess that's why I love them, as I worked and played on a neighbouring farm when I was a kid. And got to drive them as I worked on one while going to college. Unique sound 👌 yep I do forget about tail lights sometimes as I'm concentrating on other details. Cheers for watching atb Graham 👍 😊

[@sanclewphotographic]

I only have three 37's but I would like to get more in time when the price is right, great running sequences nice layout, look forward to seeing you progress with the embankment. 🚂C.

[@WHP1980s]

Best part of 40oC at the height of summer with two fans and two roof windows. 😁

[@Oldie1970]

Thank Graham another great film clip. Amazing section of 37’s. Brings back memories of spotting them at the local depot. Look forward to the bank update.👍

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers, very glad I can bring back some good memories, 👍 😊

[@elliotmccall1]

Love your work, and enjoyed your 37 collection. Look forward to the next video. Take care 😊

[@WHP1980s]

Many thanks. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

Another very informative video Graham , your 37 fleet is growing nicely!! About six weeks ago I was in my regular model shop looking at a new tooled Bachmann 37, when my wife joined me in the shop she was immediately drawn to the display cabinet saying " oh its one of those 37's you go on about " the shop owner looked at me for my reply which was " well you can never have enough 37's in your life haha " It cost me a meal in the pub next door but another 37 found its way home. So you clearly aren't the only alone in appreciating the legendary loco. Keep up the good work look forward to how you propose to keep the cows upright !!

[@WHP1980s]

Love the story, it's great to get the other half involved if only to ratify the purchase. 👍Wish I had a local model shop, but they are very scarce in this neck of the woods. 😞 Atb Graham 🙂 👍

[@ANDYM-xt7xo]

@@WHP1980s Cheers for the reply Graham, when I said local model shop I'm in Norwich and the shop's in Sheringham !! a good 30 mile away HaHa.

Hello Graham Amazing collection of 37s 37 my favourite loco also All the best Deano

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks, cheers for watching, atb Graham 😊 👍

[@Frank-ThomasKlütsch]

Hello Graham Always searching for interesting british layouts I've found your channel a week ago and subscibed. Well planned track plan. And a great scenery along which seems to be done with love. My favourite BR loco is the class 37 as well. Cheers from Germany, Frank

[@WHP1980s]

Many thanks for subscribing Frank. Very glad you are enjoying the channel. And you are very right in what you say, I do love what I do. Great bit of escapism from this increasingly mad world. Cheers Graham 🙂 🍻 👍

[@darrelldeltic807]

Superb collection of 37’s Graham and a lovely large logo addition to the family! Personally I’m very impressed by the txs sound file 😊 Looking forward to what you have in store for the embankment area, cheers Darrell

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers Darrell. I too think the Hornby sound file for the 37 is really great for the money, especially with the ability to reprogram it at any time. Just bought two more 21 pins for another two 37's with stay alives from dcc concepts. I'm going to fit these probably over the weekend. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

[@mickeybarrass3625]

Evening Graham. Hope your well. Nice to see a few 37s getting a run and meeting the fleet. Mirage, was one of a number of Tinsleys Depot, unofficial painted names, that they adorned to their locos, based at the depot. Theres loads to choose from, should you wish to renumber your 2nd Mirage 37. You maybe can get the name decals for which ever one you choose. Also don't worry about the 37043, being off region, Eastfield's 37s, got everywhere back in the day. Same with the 47/7s, when they came off the push pull sets between Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street, the 47/7s got reallocated to Old Oak Common, so you had ScotRail liveried 47s, scottie dogs n all running out of Paddington. Hope this helps. Excellent video Graham. Thank you for sharing mate.

[@WHP1980s]

Cheers for the info Mickey 👍 👌 put my thoughts about this 37's fitting in to rest. You and other's are a real source of info. Many thanks, Graham 😊 👍

[@lord-al-2024]

Top Man Graham on the bargain Bachann 37 . It seems every one is running 37s this month.lol. and me. Just got my new 37 ..37558 collectors pack £195 .She runs lovely . Plus you did a superb job on the depot and the post office platform . Great job Graham. Regards Lord Al.

[@WHP1980s]

Thanks, my Lord. 😁👍yep I do love them 37's it's definitely the sound as well as their looks. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Superb mate ,that embankment two lying cows reminds me of a couple of ex girlfriends😂, my fav is the 47 I have quite a few in my fleet ,living close to the western main line and the motive power when I worked the TPOs was a 47 except one night we had a 50 failed at twyford 😂,your TMD with the AC electrics outside reminds me of Willesden Junction

[@WHP1980s]

"Two lying cows" 🤣😂👍I've got quite a lot of 47's too, both by Bachmann and Heljan. Will maybe parade them in future updates. 🤔 Glad to stir old memories, hopefully good ones. Its all good info like that from you chaps, that helps with the build. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

[@marksinthehouse1968]

@@WHP1980sconfess I have 78 class 47s all makes including a rare vitrains one 😂 All the best Mark 😊😊

[@WHP1980s]

@marksinthehouse1968 Blimey that makes me look good in the eyes of my wife. 🤣 I know what it's like, though, mate, just one more. All the very best, Graham 🙂 👍

[@barryturner2916]

Well done Graham for sorting the decoder chip issue, I thought you were going to put your hammer into it (lol). I have one class 37 by Bachmann 37035 in Dutch livery in my fleet but have twelve class 33's by Heljan which fits in well with my southern era. Great sounds from your class 37's but I am still DC so miss out on this, I did look into DCC but with a fleet of nearly fourth loco's I could not afford the switch. I wish I could clear my garden as quick as you cleared your embankment 🤣. Many thanks for sharing regards Barry..

[@WHP1980s]

The 33's by Heljan are great models too. I've got 2 of them plus 3 26's in my collection, they are great sturdy little runners. Be it a bit thirsty on current, which used to blow old Hornby chips. Many thanks Barry, atb Graham 😊👍

[@alanwagstaff16]

37 love em .😀

[@WHP1980s]

Yep, no layouts complete without one. Atb 🙂 👍

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Hi Graham. I see you have a love of class 37s. I had the new Bachmann dutch livery version on order but cancelled it in favour of the Accurascale model once it becomes available.

[@WHP1980s]

Hope you enjoy your new model when it arrives. Atb 🙂 👍

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

@WHP1980s I hope so, too.

[@StormmyStormmy]

Hi Graham, you have a superbly detailed layout, I really need to get a BR large logo class 37, I will be getting a Bachmann version because I want a working roof fan like in my Bachmann class 47 which is superb, I will buy a roof fan unit if and when they become available, I’ve never had any issues with my Bachmann diesel fleet, I prefer a dcc ready model so I can add Legomanbiffo sound, thanks for sharing.

[@StormmyStormmy]

If you upgrade your dcc control station would you consider the Esu Ecos? Your dynamis has similar buttons to what the Ecos has and it’s the same colour.

[@WHP1980s]

Legoman biffo sound is great too, I don't think there's much in it really. They all complement each other on the layout with their slightly different sound. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

[@stretchedits]

Hi, great video..............Just thinking about your issues, traced to a faulty decoder. I recall finding out somewhere, someone used a loco decoder in a Bachmann DMU to just work the lights in the trailer which caused issues because the decoder was always trying to detect a motor current and couldn't. A function only decoder was the answer but many people don't use them in that situation. Not sure if this is something of interest or not. All the best Dave.

[@WHP1980s]

It's definitely a thought, and quite logical. Maybe it's also due to the manufacturer if this occurs, as the replacement chip is of a different manufacturer now, but be it with motor running capabilities still. 🤔 many thanks Graham 😊 👍

[@stretchedits]

@@WHP1980s Hi Graham, yeah that was something I came across when researching which decoders and sound files I wanted to fit in my own Bachmann 108 DMU.
