David41283 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Evening all, I have resprayed a Farish 47 body into rail blue. I am looking for a prototype photo to work from. I have trawled the Internet and class47.co.uk but haven't found what I'm looking for yet. Could anyone point me in the direction of a suitable subject, which meets the following criteria: Br blue livery 4 character headcode blinds still in place TOPs number Original fixed radiator grills. As late a date as possible (mid 70's at a push) I know Bachmann have released 47148 in this condition and I have found photos of this loco in 1975. I don't want to do '148 purely as it's available RTR. There must have been others but I cannot find evidence of them so far! Any suggestions of locos and ideally a point towards a photo would be gratefully received. Thanks David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 You've probably already solved the problem, so belated is my reply, but I found this preserved 47 site fascinating . Having very recently acquired a practically unbuilt Class 47 kit by Modern Outline, I am now looking for a suitable preserved example to replicate - hopefully one that carries the 4-character headcode blinds.
