Built at English Electric’s Vulcan Works in 1965, this locomotive entered traffic as D6989 on June 17 1965 and was initially allocated to Cardiff Canton depot. It was renumbered to 37289 under BR’s TOPS system in 1974. In August 1985, the locomotive was fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH), renumbered to 37408 and repainted in BR ‘large logo’ blue livery as one of 25 that went north to work passenger trains in Scotland. 

It was named Loch Rannoch at Eastfield depot, Glasgow, in September 1986 and adorned with the depot’s white Scottie Dog motif. It is in this livery that the model is presented by Hornby for 'TT:120' scale.

By November 1989 it had transferred to Immingham and the Departmental Civil Engineers’ pool. This was followed by spells in the Trainload Petroleum sector and Trainload Freight West before becoming part of the EWS fleet in 1997. The locomotive was extensively damaged when it ran into parked stock at Rhymney in August 2005 and went into store for component recovery. It was subsequently scrapped at EMR Kingsbury in January 2008.

Internally the locomotive features a Next18 DCC decoder socket factory fitted with a Hornby Triplex Bluetooth sound decoder which plays through a 15mm x 11mm cube speaker. Hornby’s TT:120 Class 37 is highly detailed and is the perfect companion to the modern image freight rolling stock including the Class 50s and HSTs as well the Mk 2 carriages and HAA coal hoppers.
