Understandably people are now looking into
alternate liveries for the Class 37. Though Heljan do not intend doing
this themselves we can undertake limited alterations to finish one of
their models in any livery. Tower Models received a number of commissions
to alter the "as supplied" Class 37 into some alternative liveries. As
can be seen from the photographs the fronts have been modified to incorperate
the elephants trunk being fitted where necessary. The models are then
repainted, lettered and lined into EWS, Large Logo Blue, Dutch or similar
liveries in both clean and weathered finishes.. It should be noted that
no attempt is made to alter radiators or fuel tanks on the Heljan locomotive.
These models are designed to be a well finished approximation that captures
the appearance of the locomotive rather than an exact scale model. However,
at an all up price of £670.00 for a clean finish and £695.00 for a weathered
version they are excellent value for money. A few models are available
off the shelf but if a particular number or named version appeals to you
it can be completed to order. This will involve a delay of upto a couple
of months. |
