37260 RADIO HIGHLAND – A TRUE WORKHORSE

Few locomotives capture the spirit of British Rail in the Highlands quite like the Class 37. Known for their versatility and unmistakable sound, these Type 3 diesels became synonymous with rural and long-distance operations—particularly in Scotland during the 1970s and 1980s.

The example featured in this sale, 37260 Radio Highland, represents the class in BR Blue with Large Logo—a livery that defined the later years of the BR era. Class 37s were a common sight on passenger services such as Inverness to Wick and Thurso, as well as freight duties ranging from oil tanks to engineers’ trains.

This model reflects that heritage perfectly. Whether hauling Mk. 1 coaches, parcels stock, or mixed freight, it’s a locomotive that fits seamlessly into a wide range of layouts.

With 41% OFF RRP, now at just £143.30, it’s a compelling option for anyone modelling the late BR period.

CLASS 40 D213 ANDANIA – POWER AND PRESENCE

If the Class 37 is the 'all-rounder', this Class 40 is the heavyweight icon.

Built in the late 1950s, these locomotives were among British Rail’s earliest mainline diesels and quickly became synonymous with express passenger and heavy freight work, particularly on the West Coast Main Line before electrification.

The model on offer, D213 'Andania', is presented in BR Green with small yellow panels—an era-defining look from the transition period between steam and diesel, however, with its post-2001 OHLE warning flashes, this depicts the locomotive as preserved today – ideal for heritage railways, or railtours on present-era layouts!

The sheer size of the Class 40, its distinctive whistle sound, and commanding presence make it a favourite among enthusiasts and modellers alike. Bachmann’s DCC ready model delivers on both detail and performance, featuring a smooth-running mechanism, all-wheel drive, and DCC-ready capability for those looking to upgrade.

Now reduced by 39% OFF RRP to £134.52, it offers serious value for a locomotive of this stature.
