Class 37/4 37427 "Bont Y Bermo" in EWS livery
DCC Ready. 8-pin socket
The popularity of Vi Trains earlier EWS release has prompted this new model which could be descirbed as a variation on a theme. No. 37427 is depicted in the first (1996) version of English, Welsh & Scottish Railway maroon with the ampersand incorporated in the logotype. It also wears the unofficial painted Bont Y Bermo (Barmouth Bridge) name which was the original name carried by this machine in the late-1980s before its transfer to Scotland.
