A general view of Canada Road's 37 046, also based on the Bachmann model. A Shawplan
fan grill has been fitted, the side frost screens use Scalelink hexagon mesh, and
wire has been used to represent the sand pipes onto the bogies. At the lower edge
of the body the cut-outs have been revised to match photographs from the 70s.
37 046 again, the main change on the nose ends has been to correct the proportions
of the headcode surrounds Although modified using plastic, a suitable brass etch
may be available. Grab handles and lamp brackets have also been added or replaced
using brass. The buffers have been lifted using a little plastic surgery.
