Looks like a good choice - very smart in that livery

[Denemarken]

One of those I like the look so I'm having it moments lol

There is just something magically appealing about a 37

[CarriageShed]

Manufacturer: Graham Farish
Scale: N Gauge
Product Code: 371-466
Product Title: Class 37/0 diesel 37035 in BR Civil Engineers "Dutch" livery

£79.50 From Rails Of Sheffield

This is my first ever Ngauge loco ever, So looking forward to recieving it and I'll do a newbie review too

As a first ever N Gauge buy, that's not a bad start. Mind you, I'd still rather have a Deltic.

Thanks guy's something about it drawn me to it, Been looking on Hattons as wagon's for a rake behind it but stopped when I realised I had no idea what a grampus wagon is or the identification number either lol,  Reading up as we speak lol

The Deltic was a Starter Set I was looking at but got given a 90's Graham Farish Transformer and some track so decided against it

EDIT: Thank You button doesn't work at work but Thank You

The Thank You button is working for me as I just gave you one 

cheers John.

I like to think of it this way, by having a lost member of the a class on your model railway you are rescuing it from the scrapyard

[Denemarken]

Yeah very true lol, Thinking the first locomotive I own is gone but forever remembered on my layout. Been looking at images on Google to see what type of wagons it used to haul and I'm surprised at the variant in real life never expected such a diverse range

Exactly my thinking when I contemplated renumbering my Blue 'JB' EDL to E6027...

Lovely little model, but I have to say Dapol's factory weathering as seen on the recent Westerns is way superior to the weathering on this Class 25... just sayin'

You may want to rephrase that...

Totally agree, especially the roof detail area with the black on the fan grills etc. This is why I ordered the unweathered one instead.

Best wishes
