37185 (ex-D6885) BR Blue w/Wizzy the Lizard logo

While 37207 William Cookworthy is the most famous of the Cornish-themed Class 37s with its local hero name and full set of nose regalia and ‘Wizzy the lizard’ arrow logos, there were three other Laira-based members of the fleet that also gained painted embellishments courtesy of St Blazey guard and celebrated artist Vic Millington. Of the other trio, 37247 gained Cornish Railways lettering, and 37181 and 37185 were the lucky recipients of the red BR arrow and its intertwined lizard wearing the period British Rail peaked cap.

                  With a gorgeous range of china clay ‘hoods’ having just joined the Accurascale range we knew we wanted the perfect partner in our run 4 of the Class 37 and 37185 fit the bill perfectly. As a Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns-built centre headcode machine it would fill another useful gap in our range. For added attractiveness it carried miniature snowploughs and retained its bufferbeam cowling right up to the middle of 1986, and once transformed it left the Western Region after 23 years for a new life up north. Built in December 1963 and initially allocated to 87E Swansea Landore it was only based at one other depot, 86A Cardiff Canton, before joining Plymouth Laira in April 1983.

                  It received the ‘Wizzy’ arrows ahead of a railtour into the region exactly a year later and retained them for around 14 months, only losing them after transferring to Bristol Bath Road. While its next stop was Thornaby, it is also fondly remembered as one of Tinsley’s ‘banger blue’ unofficial namers, Phil Hodgkiss and colleagues giving it the painted dedication Buccaneer with TI rose emblems in November 1989. In January 1991 it was outshopped in Railfreight Distribution colours. After moving to Toton via Bescot and freshly repainted in ‘Dutch’ livery, it finally gained a cast name, Lea & Perrins at Worcester, in May 1993. It was stored in September 1999 and disposed of at CF Booth, Rotherham, in January 2006.

Excellent and super accurate
Color: Black, Color: Black
I had a precision oxo which was more expensive than this one but not great though, it would register .4 grams suddenly and not sensitive to the 1-2 bean increments. I bought this one for espresso specifically and man it is fantastic so accurate, super responsive, well built, size is great if you want to weigh your shot under your portafilter. I have a fellow series 1 and it’s amazing working with it. Overall highly recommend and for the price it’s amazing great value! Not sure why would I buy a bookoo for $130 or a fellow scale for $200. This one works great for $40

Just a tiny, accurate scale
Color: Black
Works flawlessly after I calibrated it compared to my other. Out of the box it was (very) off. Now it's within .1 of a gram. It's far more responsive than I expected. It's perfect for espresso and it's tiny so it fits on the smallest drip trays.

A really nice scale at a budget price!
Color: Black
Does a really nice job for a budget scale! I had an Amazon basics scale (which works great and I still use!), but I needed/wanted a tenth of a gram for weighing Moka Pot water and coffee. I can put this scale on my water dispenser, measure out exactly what I need, then put the Moka Pot filter (in a glass jigger so it stands up :-) on the scale (with a magnetic espresso funnel) and measure out my coffee. It holds up to daily use and is accurate. Nice job for my first "professional" scale :-)!

Solid little workhorse
Color: Space Grey
Works well. Key part of my espresso setup. Battery charge lasts. Easy to use. My only gripe is that the power switch can be hard (for me) to turn on and off without lifting it up to find it.

Worth it!
Color: Black
A necessity for anyone trying to elevate their espresso making game. I use this to measure my beans and to also measure the shot I pull and how long it takes to pull. It’s great quality and totally worth it. The scale is very quick to start when the shot starts to pull. Easy to use and a great scale.
