Class 37 - Europhoenix - 37901 - DCC Sound Fitted - Exclusive

The recent upgrades to the tooling (grilles, windscreens and fan) have lifted the model to the standard it probably should have always been at. The sound is excellent and the lighting fairly realistic. Vibrations from the speaker aside it's excellent.

Positive:
I have to say that this model is visually very impressive. It's a striking livery and looks good on the 37. The model runs very well straight out of the box. Overall a very nice model.

Negative: The sound is good but makes the model vibrate which distorts the sound. This can be rectified with blacktack on the speaker but is annoying to have to do this on a brand new model. I also found the sound lacks a bit at default settings and benefitted from upping the bass on cv 196 to 22-25. The sliver part of the livery started to rub off around the grilles on the middle of the body. It was only a tiny amount but is concerning for how robust the otherwise excellent livery will fair over years of use.

Another outstanding model from Accurascale with DCC Sound.

Great loco, livery beautifully applied livery. Thanks

put it on my model layout, started up the sound and it runs like a dream, perfect slow running what more could you ask for, well worth the money, dave south cumbria.

Great model. Slight issue with light lens had fallen out during transit but Accurascale support sorted it for me.

I ordered two exclusives. Europhoenix and Loram. Both were presented well. The models are expensive so bits should not fall off them, before they are placed on the track. 3 of 4 cab kick plates fell off, one disappeared. I found the name plates a bit cheap quality too, these need improving going forward. But at least they include them unlike one of the main manufacturers. I would still recommend these models.

Another excellent model from Accurascale.

The Accurascale Class 37 is undoubtedly the best 'oo' gauge Tractor on the market and the amendments made to the latest batch are to be commended, in particular the front cab windows are a big improvement.

Personally, I think it would be nice if the roof fan could also be controlled manually via a DCC function. My experience of the current setup means it rarely comes on, whereas on the Class 31 and 50 models it is on all the time which doesn't seem prototypical - hopefully a middle ground can be found for a future run?

Excellent model of 37901, great detail and very good sounds

Loco had a bumpy ride to Australia & packaging badly damaged. loco in foam survived & up & running. Accurascale have offered
1/ Replace unit ( don't need ) as running
2/ Replace box as damaged
Also a 10 % discount on next purchase which is kind of them
Loco is running well & sounds good> looks part with LNER tourist train

Great Sound as usual, I already have the 37608 so this nicely compliments that. However unable to get the fan working, does it work at all? The model describes it as it works.

Another fantastic example

This surely has to be one the of the best liveries to adorn a Class 37. It has been applied with such finesse and detail by Accurascale. The sheen is superb and the model itself is brimming with detail.
The sound is full and detailed as well.

What a stunning loco the seventh Accurascale 37 to my collection and the best so far nice crisp livery runs like a dream just two of the driver door steps loose in the box easy fix 👏

Excellent, paint & graphics application very well done, motor runs well & pulls well.
Had problems fitting pipes & snow plough too fiddly gave up, could have been designed like the 66's & 60's with removable end already assembled.
Also couldn't find instructions on how the roof fan operated. As Aux10 wasn't switch on in the programming

Perfection.

Never thought I would see a 37/9 'Slug' modelled but here it is ! Fantastic paintwork ,silky smooth running , a great lighting suite and above all superb sound. The roof profile is spot on and even differs slightly from sister 37902 amazing. And to finish with all in another exclusive box with Phoenix rising.

I’m very pleased with 37 901 – it’s another excellent Accurascale locomotive. Unfortunate that 2 of the kick plates fell off when I unpacked it, followed by a third when I placed it on the track: though all were easily re-affixed.

Absolutely outstanding model. The Accurascale ACC145456 Europhoenix Class 37, running number 37901, factory sound fitted, is easily one of the finest locomotives I have bought.
I only started buying Accurascale models around 18 months ago, but I have now purchased almost 50 of them. Over the last three and a half years, I have acquired 581 locomotives in total, and this Europhoenix Class 37 is right up there among the very best of the lot. In fact, it is currently one of my absolute favourites, with only my Hornby Dublo Sound Fitted Deltic just edging it overall.
The detail, decoration and finish on this Accurascale model is superb. It also helps that the livery on the real locomotive is an absolutely fantastic design, and Accurascale have captured it beautifully. This model looks great from every angle, runs beautifully, and the factory sound worked perfectly straight out of the box. I run it on an ESU ECoS controller system, and the performance has been excellent.
For the price, I think this represents brilliant value. The quality of the detailing, the running characteristics and the sound package make it feel like a premium model in every respect.
My advice is simple: if you intend to run DCC sound, buy the factory sound fitted version from the start. In my experience, it is often cheaper and far less hassle than buying DCC ready and fitting sound afterwards, especially if problems occur. Trust me, I learnt that the hard way.
I cannot recommend this model highly enough. This is Accurascale at its very best. Well done Accurascale, a superb locomotive and one of the standout models in my entire collection.

Absolutely stunning , no loose parts this time look forward to another run 5*
