Also known as the English Electric Type 3, the class was ordered as part of the British Rail modernisation plan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey were numbered in two series, D6600-D6608 and D6700-D6999. The Class 37 became a familiar sight on many parts of the British Rail network, in particular forming the main motive power for InterCity services in East Anglia and within Scotland. All locomotives would be renumbered from 1973 under the TOPS renumbering system, sometimes multiple times as the exact specification for single locomotives could be changed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey performed well on secondary and inter-regional services for many years. The Class 37s are known to some railway enthusiasts as 'tractors', a nickname due to the agricultural sound of the diesel engine of the locomotive. A total of 309 of the class would be built with 35 preserved and 66 still in service as of 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStarting out life as D6744, the locomotive would be renumbered twice, both times under the TOPS system. Initially 37044 the locomotive would become 37710. The locomotive would serve with BR Railfreight before being transferred to Loadhaul. Stored for many years in a heavy state of disrepair as a parts donor, the locomotive is currently owned by West Coast Railways although it still wears the Loadhaul livery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Railroad model is fitted with a 3 pole motor and simple gearing, proving to be a reliable runner on any layout. The 8-pin DCC socket allows the model to be used on a digital layout where required and its railroad specification makes it ideal as a starter model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat's Inside: 1x Railroad Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e25.1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e5\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e3.5\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem Weight - Without Packaging\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e0.23\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem Scale\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinish\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003ePainted\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColour\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eBlack and Orange\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGauge\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eOO\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDCC Status\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eDCC Ready 8 pin socket\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperator\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eLoad Haul\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigner\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eEnglish Electric\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWheel Configuration\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eCo-Co\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLivery\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eLoadhaul Black and Orange\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMinimum Curve (mm)\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eRadius 2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMotor\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e3 Pole\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of Parts\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClass\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eClass 37\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuffer Type\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eSeparate Plastic Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoupling Type\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNEM Tension Lock\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHornby Decoder Compatibility Primary\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eHM7000-8TXS: Bluetooth(R) \u0026amp; DCC Sound Decoder (8-pin)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40427105321161,"sku":"10046836","price":200.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/b6e10250031c44a9bc3581f8491a497b.png?v=1767704188","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/hornby-oo-railroad-loadhaul-37710-era-8","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
