Info provided by DockShunter above is correct. The dcc versions have a much better body and directional lighting.

Ok so it looks like i should wait to get the newer version then.  Is there a due date yet?

Thanks

These are the current Farish 37's that are dcc ready with lights and all have the newer/better body:

Just to add to this,37238 and 37038 are no longer available in br blue.
I got 37254 and later I managed after a long search managed to get hold of a 37238 which was discontinued last year.Split code headbox number 37038 is now dutch liveried 37039.
