Details

The popular BR Class 47 Diesel Locomotive returns to the Graham Farish range with models of the ‘Crewe-Cut’ locomotives available for the first time thanks to the development of new tooling that further expands the range of Class 47s that can be modelled in N scale. Many Class 47s had the cowling around their bufferbeams removed in later life, changing the appearance of the lower front end and with this work usually being undertaken at Crewe Works, the resultant locomotives were commonly termed ‘Crewe-Cut’ machines. No. 47745 is one such machine, originally built as D1967, in 1983 it was fitted with Electric Train Heating (ETH) and became 47603 and later still was renumbered to 47745 in 1994 following the fitting of extended range fuel tanks and cab-front jumper cables when allocated to Rail Express Systems. Named ‘Royal London Society for the Blind’ in 1994, complete with a set of nameplates in Braille, the locomotive retained its Rail Express Systems livery until it was cut up in 2004. 

Further developments to the Graham Farish Class 47 come in the form of technical advancements, with an upgraded specification which now boasts a Next18 DCC decoder interface, pre-fitted speaker, cab lighting (when used on DCC) and independent control of the directional lights at each end. With the Next18 interface and pre-fitted speaker, SOUND FITTED models can now be offered for the first time.
