Class 14 - BR Desert Sand - D9537 - OO Scale

This is a "holy grail" livery for many Western Region collectors. The Desert Sand finish on D9537 is one of the rarest and most striking versions of the "Teddy Bear," representing a short-lived experimental phase at Swindon Works.

Class 14: D9537 in BR Desert Sand (OO Scale)

The Swindon Experimentalist Own a unique piece of Western Region history with our OO Scale recreation of D9537. While the majority of the "Teddy Bear" fleet wore the standard Brunswick Green, D9537 was famously turned out in an experimental Desert Sand livery. This model captures that brief, sun-bleached moment in the mid-1960s, offering a brilliant splash of color for any transition-era layout or diesel depot collection.

• Experimental Livery: Expertly applied Desert Sand finish with authentic BR crests and "D" prefix numbering.

• Swindon Craftsmanship: Meticulous attention to the center-cab profile and the characteristic "humped" engine housings.

• Rod-Driven Realism: Fully functional, blackened coupling rods that provide the hypnotic "waltzing" motion unique to this 0-6-0 design.

• Heavyweight Performance: A die-cast chassis ensures this compact shunter has the "bite" for heavy trip-freight duties.
