🔊 SOUND UP! Experience the "Accurathrash" roar at Sunderland Models! 🔊

There is a reason the legendary Class 37 earned the nickname "The Tractor" and no one captures that brutal, heavy English Electric growl quite like Accurascale.

We have just landed the highly anticipated Accurascale OO Gauge Class 37/4 – No. 37408 "Loch Rannoch" in striking EWS Maroon and Gold!

If you are a DCC Sound modeller, this is a masterclass in layout realism. Accurascale hasn't just slapped a standard speaker inside; their Factory DCC Sound-Fitted version features:
🔥 Customised Dual-Speaker Technology – featuring a massive "Accurathrash" base speaker paired with a dedicated high-frequency cube.
🔥 ESU LokSound V5 chip tuned to perfection.
🔥 Built-in PowerPack Super-Capacitor – giving you up to 10 seconds of uninterrupted sound and smooth running, even over dirty track or dead frogs!
🔥 Working, independently controlled roof-mounted motorized fans!

Prefer to fit your own decoder? We have the DCC Ready version in stock too, equipped with a clean 21-Pin MTX socket and the same incredible heavy die-cast chassis and intricate detail pack.

Whether she's hauling a heavy rake of MHA wagons or idling in your depot yard, 37408 is the ultimate centerpiece for your late-90s/early-2000s layout.

Stock is strictly limited and these Accurascale 37s never sit on the shelves for long. Secure yours today with fast UK shipping from Sunderland Models!

👉 Grab yours online or instore. Limited stock!

We will be expecting further skus to come and will announce when they have arrived, we have these in stock now.

🚂 THE WAITING IS OVER: The All-New Bachmann OO Gauge J71 has arrived at Sunderland Models! 🚂

For decades, layout owners have relied on the classic J72. But for the first time EVER in Ready-to-Run OO Scale, Bachmann has delivered its legendary predecessor—the North Eastern Railway E Class / LNER J71!

This isn't just a re-hash of old parts. Bachmann has developed completely fresh tooling to capture the iconic look of these Eastern region workhorses, featuring:
✅ All-new cab, tank, and smaller coal bunker mouldings
✅ High-performance coreless motor with a heavy diecast gearbox
✅ Next18 DCC interface AND a pre-installed speaker in EVERY model (analogue users included!)
✅ Exquisite factory-applied liveries, from the ornate NER Lined Green to classic BR Black.

Whether you need a pristine station pilot for your LNER layout or a hard-working shunter for a BR-era coastal dockyard, the J71 is an absolute must-have.

We have standard DCC Ready and pre-fitted DCC Sound models available right now at Sunderland Models, but stock is strictly limited. We are still expecting some skus which have not yet arrived but we have 4 model variants in stock now.
