One of the Clacton area group has a sound 37 with a file by Kevin at Coastal dcc.

Don't know how much it cost him, but about the best diesel sounds I've heard.

He surely does. My dilemma: lack of unlimited funds. Nearly $500 to get one of those to show up on my doorstep. 

They do sound awesome, though.

It must be 3 or 4 years since the last run, just a shame it wasn't done before the cut back in production - see the way 90's and 47's flooded the market.

I do actually have a sound fitted Farish 37, a conversion that was worked on a couple of times by different people. It now has a Jamie Goodman sound file in it, and it sounds lovely, but I'd still like another in early BR green with split headcode boxes.

I think it is a pretty fair bet that either a chassis "upgrade" or a full retool are in the works somewhere as far as the Farish 37 is concerned. To be honest, I am slightly surprised that it was the 20 upgrade that was recently announced rather than one. Maybe they are saving it for TINGS (well here's hoping).

Hi @scorpion_1925 . I e-mailed Steve today ( info@railtec-models.com ) asking if he would be able to rescale something to 2mm and got an almost instant reply - so he is definitely picking up his mails,
Cheers,

Hi Scorpion,

In situations like this I usually add the wrong scale item to my basket and theen add comments saying what scale I want them to be.

It's worked several times in the past, albeit with a delay before delivery.

@Foxhound - Abrasive Trees sound interesting. I'd like to hear a bit more especially as they are reasonably local to me as well as you.

Potential Plymouth gig on June 20th, venue not confirmed yet. 2 days before my 57th birthday, so would be rude not to if it does happen. I'll let you know if they do formalise it.
This vid is a couple of years old but this gives you a feel for them

45108 is the 4th Rapido Peak to join my fleet, and I suspect there will be more to come.

Going to need a bigger depot....
