37088 (ex-D6788) BR Blue

Ticking off two big boxes on many customer wishlists is 37088 which responds to the calls for more Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns-constructed locomotives and for a run-of-the-mill 1970-80s BR blue split headcode machine. Originally completed at Darlington in January 1963 as D6788, the Type 3 was first allocated to Gateshead but would also call Hull Dairycotes, Tinsley and York home before the end of the same decade. Renumbered under the TOPS system in February 1974 it moved to March in October 1976, losing its bodyside water filler and associated steps around the same time along with the changeover to domino headcodes. Still with an operational boiler the Class 37 saw regular use on Liverpool Street-Cambridge-Kings Lynn/Ipswich/Norwich services as well as freight and inter-regional and summer-dated passenger diagrams. While many of its colleagues started to see their bufferbeam cowling removed from the late 1970s, this particular example survived until its last classified repair under BR in February 1984. It was transferred to Eastfield just over a year later where it gained a car-style headlight for use on the West Highland line.

                  In July 1986 it became part of Motherwell’s dedicated Ravenscraig fleet. This saw it lose its boiler but receive a new Class 37/3 number 37323 and British Steel-themed name Clydesdale after the tube works in Mossend which sadly closed in 1991. It reverted to 37088 in September 1989 to avoid confusion with the new CP7 bogie-fitted Class 37/3s and was one of the lucky recipients of the much derided General Grey scheme in June 1990. It somehow retained this appearance until June 1993 and was the last Class 37 to have its livery amended with the yellow Civil Engineer’s ‘Dutch’ band. This look was further improved in 1995 with the addition of Transrail ‘big T’ logos which complemented the red nameplates nicely. It was in this condition that it was stored in June 1996 and officially withdrawn just over two years later. It was scrapped at CF Booth, Rotherham, in October 2002. Note that as well as the distinctive  ‘split’ cantrail grilles, our model correctly omits the small grab handles either side of the nose doors, a unique RSH feature usually missed by manufacturers.

Holes in brackets are not spaced for studs!
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 67"W x 6.5"D
So the quality of this not great, but good enough and they look nice enough on the wall. However, the bracket holes are not spaced at 16" intervals. WTF? I'm not sure who designed this thing. The molly plugs that came with it look OK, but to play it safe I used a cobalt steel drill bit and made my own holes in the bracket. Easy enough with some wd40. My other pick with this is that the screws to anchor the shelf to the bracket are black and and very obvious... they should have supplied some kind of cap.

Excellent Quality and Beautiful!
Color: Natural Pine - Satin Clear Coat Finish, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 2, Size: 16 inch
This is the second order I’ve made of these shelves (a different length and color for a different room). I’ve put up floating shelves before, and over time they listed although they never fell down. Everything about these shelves suggests they will last a long time. The shelves are beautiful, very well sanded and varnished, and the wood grain is lovely (same with the darker shelves). The installation is relatively simple with easy-to-understand instructions and the support that the shelf fits into is sturdy. Everything works as the directions say, and the shelves seem sturdy when installation is complete. The seller clearly takes pride in their product; even the packaging is very carefully and artfully done. A drill makes the job far easier than it would with just a screwdriver. One set of my shelves are placed one directly below another, so it took some time and my 2 foot level to make sure they are vertically even. If the shelves are offset from each other, as we did with the first installation, it’s easier and takes less time. I would recommend these to anyone.

Premium Quality Shelves That Look Amazing
Color: American Walnut - Satin Dark Tone, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 3, Size: 36 inch, Color: American Walnut - Satin Dark Tone, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 3, Size: 36 inch
For my Kitchen remodel, I’ve ordered several of these shelves, in different lengths, and I’ve been consistently impressed with the quality. I had never installed floating shelves before, but the process was surprisingly straightforward even when I customized my own corner setup. The shelves are beautiful, made from real wood with exquisite grain patterns, and they arrive very well sanded and varnished. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the mounting bracket is sturdy with an excellent precision fit. Once installed, the shelves feel extremely solid and secure. This company clearly takes pride in its products. Even the packaging is carefully and thoughtfully done. With some careful measuring, clamps, and a pocket hole jig, I was able to combine two different shelf sizes to create a custom corner shelf that turned out great. I highly recommend these shelves and will definitely continue purchasing them as I add more to my home.
