Not buying more Graham Farish Class 37s back when I got my Dutch.

Can't find any new anywhere, and of course there aren't many in the USA 2nd-hand.

Incredibly good looking locomotive. Would really like one with a good sound fitting.

Why can't one start a Lament?

If a class 20 is viable for sound then a class 37 surely is. Just a case of when, the lack of models available suggests its in the works. 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.

Paul Hickman @DELTICNAPIER does a terrific job of fitting DCC sound to Farish 37s. He often lists them for sale on eBay but if you already have a favourite then he'll convert that for you.

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).

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.

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.
