Just had a look at RMweb and stumbled over this thread: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=31225&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
More 37s to be released, aswell as a 47!!!
But this doesn't look like it is going to be a budget model. ViTrains RRP is £90, while Bachmann are selling theres at £80.16, and Heljan cheaper.
But this does look to be promising, here is some shots of the pre production model on the Model Rail Forum (Link removed as it is the same link as the one above)
I hope it does look as good when it is released!!!
What next though? 37, 47, 57, 67?

Currently, I have a ViTrains 37 (37421 "Strombidae" in sector petroleum livery :D) And it's the best loco i have. I got it second hand for £45, and it's in really good condition :) It runs extremely smotthly, due to the motor being in the centre and poer being picked up from wheels on both bogeys.
Also, there's just something about the double driveshafts that I really like :P

I would get another ViTrains loco, but I'm having to sell most of my stuff to pay for other things :(
