For UK simmers and hopefully many overseas, this is pretty much The Grail!

RETB is an unique signalling system used only in UK, and one of the reasons to get the whole route.

I'm really looking forward to this route.
It brings back good memories from the 80s visiting Glasgow Queen Street Station and Eastfield depot with my dad watching the 37/4s roaring away. The large logo blue with the stags head branding really suited them.
The 156 sprinters that replaced them were such a disappointment.

I'd love to know how they achieved that.
This would make awesome scenarios on Donner Pass.

just reading on the forum of UKTrainsim:

I hope that it is right
sincerely yours

Cool, I have a video of the Class 37. *&!welcome!&*

Possibly with some awesome shots of the route.

I wonder how the Class 37 sounds will be compared to AP's.
