Brand new Accurascale AC2610 Class 37 D6992 in BR Blue pre Tops livery with full yellow front Era 6 Dcc Ready OO Gauge BNIB. Cheepest postage option fully insured is £4.00.
Although the last 75 or so EE Type 3s were delivered after the debut of the new British Rail 'corporate image' in May 1964 all 309 locomotives were outshopped in BR green.
Despite being relatively new, repaints into the new blue scheme were not uncommon before 1970 and a not insignificant number gained double arrows and Rail alphabet numbers on all four cabsides.
D6992 was the highest numbered example, and was recorded in this livery variation - still with D-prefixed number - in the second half of 1969, just four years after debuting at 86A Cardiff Canton in July 1965. It was renumbered 37292 under TOPS and moved to Eastfield and then Motherwell in 1981, later receiving an experimental uprated 2,000hp 12CSVT the same year. Incredibly this locomotive is still with us having been fitted with ETH and renumbered again as 37425.
