Red DBS 37/5 is next RE limited edition

With a delivery date confirmed and prices now set, RE is accepting orders for our next exclusive limited edition ‘OO’ gauge Class 37 model. Read on for details of how to order including an e-mail response option and downloadable form. Don’t delay, this is sure to be a sought-after collectable!

AFTER MONTHS OF ‘behind the scenes’ negotiations, REM is pleased to reveal that our next exclusive limited edition ‘OO’ gauge model, scheduled for release in March next year, will be a Bachmann Class 37 in the freshly-applied colours of DB Schenker. Having formally obtained an official licence agreement from the Berlin headquarters of the German-owned freight operator to reproduce its logo and colour scheme, we have already started work on the new model with Bachmann. The subject is recently reinstated No. 37670 St Blazey T&RS Depot.

The project is particularly welcome since this magazine campaigned long and hard to win the Type 3 a repaint after its return to traffic in faded and rusty condition. This machine is now a credit to DBS especially when rostered on high profile charter work. It has been widely travelled and can be easily justified on any contemporary layout or as part of a locomotive collection.

Because no new tooling is needed, the model will be produced in advance of a series of Class 37/7 releases already pencilled-in throughout 2010. It will incorporate the improvements introduced with our previous Class 37 releases such as larger bogie brake cylinders. As a new release, wire handrails, opening doors, LED directional lighting and etched roof fan grille come as standard. We will also be supplying top quality etched stainless steel nameplates.

Demand is expected to be high and to reflect this, the model will be branded as a numbered and certificated limited edition of 1,000 pieces. As part of this, we will be offering a factory-fitted DCC sound option if there is sufficient demand. Please order before the end of October in order to make sure this goes ahead. Existing limited edition customers who have ordered the Fastline Class 66 will retain their certificate number. All previous customers will be in receipt of an e-mail or postal communication during the next week.

Prices have been competitively set at £76.95 for the standard version, with the sound-fitted option pitched at £166.95. Postage and packing is £2.95 for any order. As always, payment will only be taken once the product is ready for despatch.
