Hello everyone!

I have been looking around on the internet and on the UKTS download section, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to find a Class 37 in it's early BR green livery without the smalle yellow panel.

If anybody knows where you can download that, then please reply to this thread

Thank you

The only full green ones I know of, came with the original pack that is now discontinued.

There is a reskin of 37057 which is Br green, but still has small yellow panel. Plus it uses the Wherry lines one as a basis.

I wonder if there was enough demand DTG could do a Green Diesel Pack similar to the Blue pack,it could have a all green 08,24/25.37.47

Are we talking about the split box or centre box locos here?---and any specific DLC that the 37s are bundled with?
Either way it shouldn't be too hard, or too long, a job to revise a default green texture to have no yellow panel.

Early days, and no more will be done today 'cos I'm on nights and it's bedtime...and I could be looking at the *wrong* model anyway..........



The brackets and what have you would be easy to sort out, so if anybody's bored and has a couple of hours to spare feel free to produce an alterative, but as a *proof of concept* it holds water----it ain't gonna be hard to sort out a 37 in green, with no yellow panel and appropriately numbered,

Hi
That's looking good thanks for making it,It will come in very handy for the routes I use the most,and didn't the split head code boxes came first.

The original design was based on the LMS "twins", 10000 and 10001, which often worked in pairs. They had doors in each nose, so that crews could pass between (just like the corridor tenders in the A4s), and so run non-stop London to Glasgow. Hence, most (about 140) were built with these doors. There were also variants with discs as headcodes, and also split box types. Later, most had the doors welded shut, or removed so that the central headcode boxes could be fitted.

Your getting your class 37 mixed up with the class 40 methinks. No 37's had discs. Centre head-code 37's were built like that from the start, as were some of the later class 40's, although a few Scottish examples of class 40 had their discs replaced with a centre headcode.

Oops, so I have! Did not look too carefully as I was just going out. Mind you, the explanation still holds in that the door connections were useful for those locos working in tandem. And just like the Cl 40s, the doors were welded shut after a few years.

Speaking of which, Railright who brought us the 40, are actually working on a class 37 pack and sub variants. Maybe they will include a super standard full green livery upon it's release

AFAIK Railright have said that they'll be focussing on the /4, /5 and /7 subclasses to begin with, so it'll likely be various variants of Railfreight liveries...

You are correct on that. They did mention other sub variants to follow

Well i for one cant wait for a good looking 5/7 ex split box with good physics,bring it on

Quick update....



Still a wee bit if 'fettling' to do, but should be available by the weekend...


Note that I didn't state which week

I might have missed it but which Class 37 are you reskinning?
Not the Kuju as it does not have Headcodes
