D6700 was the first member of the English Electric Type 3s (later Class 37) to be built and, as such, was secured for preservation upon its retirement. It is now part of the National Collection but is currently on loan at the Great Central Railway, where it is in operational condition.

It emerged from Vulcan Foundry at Newton-le-Willows in December 1960 with split-headcode panels and was initially allocated to Stratford depot in East London. Its BR career took it to Haymarket (Edinburgh), March, Thornaby and Gateshead. Originally in all-over BR green, it was repainted into BR blue and yellow ends in June 1969 and received its TOPS number 37119 in February 1974.

In March 1988, it was reclassified to sub-class 37/3 and among the changes made, its fuel capacity was increased, utilising the space from the redundant steam-heat boiler and it became No. 37350. After almost 39 years, it was withdrawn in December 1999 after seeing out its later career back ‘home’ at Stratford depot.

The model is presented in the livery it entered service in 1960, in all-over green – no yellow warning panels – and the BR ‘ferret and dartboard’ logo, the condition to which it has been restored in preservation. 

Internally the locomotive features a Next18 DCC decoder socket and space for a 15mm x 11mm cube speaker. Hornby’s TT:120 Class 37 is highly detailed and is the perfect companion to the BR steam era Gresley A3 or A4 and Stanier Duchess 4-6-2 as well as BR Mk 1 carriages and goods wagons.

Product highlights include:

• Class 37/0 D6700 BR green 
• DCC ready with a Next18 decoder socket
• NEM standard couplings
• Separately fitted etched metal steps, handrails and grilles
• Must-have model of a ubiquitous modern diesel locomotive
