Cornish Class 37s for Kernow MRC

TWO ICONIC Class 37/0s from the 1980s are the next special ‘OO’ gauge editions from Kernow Model Rail Centre. Both models are based on Bachmann’s successful new model with its locomotive-specific tooling and fully redesigned mechanism which was first released last year.

The first is BR rail blue No. 37207, a Western Region locomotive which was transferred from South Wales to Laira in in 1982 to commemorate its link to china clay traffic and the industry in Cornwall. The locomotive carried the unique lizard logo (Wizzy Lizard) for the Cornish Railways for a number of years and the limited edition model represents the locomotive in a roughly 18-month time slot from early 1986 to mid 1987.
