This model features a DCC sound system and is highly detailed, with a heavy die-cast metal chassis and accurate tumbleholme, nose, cab roof, and cantrail curves.

The model has three styles of buffer, nose grilles, and plated boiler panel, as well as various cab interior and roof vent options.

The model's body and nose slides allow it to accurately represent almost every member of the Class 37, including different cantrail grilles and roof styles. It also features separately applied etched metal and high-fidelity plastic detail parts, including grab handles, aerials, steps, wipers, nameplates, and crests.

The model's bogies have separate footsteps, etched footsteps, brake cylinders, speed recorder, end brake rigging, and fine brake chain.

The model is DCC ready with a 21-pin MTX socket, and the DCC sound version features an ESU LokSound 5 chip with customised dual-speaker technology.

The model has high-performance traction, with a high-quality five-pole motor, metal helical gearbox, and gearing that allows it to reach a scale top speed of 100 mph. It also has all-wheel drive and all-wheel pickup. The lighting pack includes directional lighting on DC and DCC, fully functional headlights, WIPAC light clusters with day and night-time settings, and separately switched cab lighting.

The model measures 245mm in length and has a minimum radius curve requirement of 2nd radius (438mm). It is available with RP25-110 OO gauge wheels, with provision for re-gauging to P4 and EM gauge.
