Everything that’s cool about British diesels in one model

This Class 37 diesel was totally an impulse buy. It showed up on the website of one of my favourite dealers in preowned British 7mm goodies and I couldn’t resist. While I had models of the Class 35 “Hymek” as a kid, it’s the Class 37 (English Electric Type 3) and Class 08 (Gronk) that are top of mind when I think of British diesels.

This 7mm model came pre-weathered. I’m not sure whether it was done by the manufacturer (Heljan), a retailer, or the customer – but it’s a nice job. It does not have a decoder – but I have one in stock, preloaded with a Class 37 sound package. I’ll install that when the mood strikes.
