slg Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 With the loco being repainted at the start of the year I'm still surprised that they've not announced this yet! Probably one of the smartest liveries I've seen on the class 47, I do hope that they might consider it soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamperman36 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 There have been models of it done in the past in both royal RES and royal EWS so I dowt it will be available for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium amwells Posted December 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have (proposed this to) pestered Sandra about this a couple of times - preferably as a twin pack with 47799! I haven't got anywhere yet, but hopefully if enough people suggest it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 There have been models of it done in the past in both royal RES and royal EWS so I dowt it will be available for a while. Yes, one was done by Bachmann as a limited edition. Someone else would have to do the pair unless Bachmann were to go back on its word, as with the limited editions of "Green Arrow". I think it would be an uphill struggle trying to persuade a manufacturer to produce a niche model with one already produced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium amwells Posted December 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2015 I don't think Bachmann would need to go back on their word at all. They have already done two versions of this loco (as Prince William and Fire Fly). Why not do a third in the lovely Royal RES livery? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slg Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 RES Royal livery to my knowledge has only ever been done by Lima which shows how long ago it was done, EWS Royal livery has been done by Lima, Heljan and by Bachmann as a Locomotion limited edition, so the RES Royal livery could easily be done as another Locomotion limited edition as there are no words to actually go back on.

No Decorum Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I do apologise. I was getting mixed up with the EWS Royal 47s. Senility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeford2002uk Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 As you say a very nice livery - this was a respray of a Bachmann 47/4 I did sometime ago Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The previous EWS Royal Ltd edition I think was done when enough people signed up to register interest in a model and pre-order it. Could the same be done again this time round? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The previous one was possibly tagged onto the life-extended Class 47s releases with the Crewe-cut bufferbeams (47365, RES 47745, IC 47834) ... any future one might need tagging onto a similar catalogue Class 47 release when its produced at the factory.
