Here are details of the latest new releases due from Vitrains over the next 3 months.

Vitrains have now developed the 37 moulds to encompass the 37/7 'Heavyweights' with the distinctive flush fronted nose ends and modified body sides.

Exallent models. Wonder if they are looking at a different loco to produce.

I think the Class 37's are getting a little over produced, as each of the big manufacturers make them...

Good drivetrain, but not so accurate as a model.
Value? Well they are about a fiver less than the better Bachmann 37.
You pays yer money and yer makes yer choice.....

As for other manufacturers making them.....?
Hornby just have their old Triang-based toy and the better ex-Lima model in their Railroad range, but these really are nowhere near good enough for serious modelling, in the present day.
It's basically Bachmann or ViTrains.

I wonder if they will make something which is not a class 37 next?

What is the minimum radius that the VI trains class 37 will negotiate ?

 

[SRman]

The smallest radius on my layout is 18" (2nd radius) and my ViTrains 37 has no problem with this. I can't vouch for any smaller radii as I don't have any!
