Description Accurascale ACC3459 Class 37 37716 DRS Revised (fade) Livery - DCC Ready - OO Gauge Loco carries the name: no name carried ACC3459 DCC Ready OO Gauge The Model DRS Class 37 locomotive 37716, presented in the distinctive Green Fades livery, stands as a striking example of how heritage traction continues to evolve in modern rail operations. Operated by Direct Rail Services, 37716 carries a uniquely weathered interpretation of the company’s blue branding, where the colours appear intentionally washed and worn, giving the locomotive a rugged, time-served character that resonates with enthusiasts. This aesthetic not only highlights the enduring legacy of the Class 37 fleet—first introduced in the 1960s—but also reflects the hardworking nature of these machines, many of which continue to perform vital duties across the UK. In its faded livery, 37716 blends nostalgia with contemporary identity, making it both a functional asset and a visual tribute to decades of diesel locomotive history.
