Ed-farms Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I am hoping (but my wallet is dreading) it will be 47522 in Parcels Green http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_zoom_v3.php?img=0872000041000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 16, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) I am hoping (but my wallet is dreading) it will be 47522 in Parcels Green http://www.class47.c...g=0872000041000 That is a possibility isn't it? - the body moulding with prototypically flush headcode panels at both ends already exists as it was used for 47535. I agree the livery is a possibility, but the "Parcels" branding was removed before the radio aerials were fitted - see http://www.class47.c...g=0519051007211 and http://www.class47.c...g=0948000106000. And if it has a Stratford sparrow logo as in the 2nd picture I won't buy it on principle (Bachmann is far too GN/GE focussed with its choice of 47s - even the model of THOR as in my earlier post is from its short spell allocated to SF depot) How about 47973 http://www.class47.c...g=1108051001211 or an NRM and Diamond Jubilee tie-in with 47798, or are the tanks wrong? (The image is not clear if the model is Crewe cut or not) But personally I suspect something more modern, unfortunately.

Ed-farms Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Of course there is no certainty that the drawing is the exact same as the model will be, but I would not say no to 47973 - I had a Lima model of her and 47522 so either would do me and allow me to have a better model of 2 of my favourite 47's. All the 47's coming out this year are 1980's and 1990's models so I think they will want to tie in with them but pick something unique, hence my theory on 47522.

owentherail Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) its easy enough to do 47522 your selves, and not very expensive. 47535 with just the body respreyed Edited November 23, 2012 by owentherail 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brittannia Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 According to Bachmann the Parcels 47 should be on sale to the Collectors Club members in about 3 weeks,they were taking pre-orders at "Warley" with free delivery if ordering over the weekend there, a saving of £6.50.

Good - that's saved me over £100. I am tempted to "comment" to Bachmann when it is released though - it is so much easier to add a sparrow transfer than remove it.

nigel gill Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 47522 only carried the Parcels branding for about 5 months Oct 87-Feb 88, the sparrow went on i believe june 88 till its accident in Jan 1990 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittannia Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 so ive save some money then Should do,Did you check the amount when you signed the Club sales Form for Bachmann to take your money?

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted November 28, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2012 47522 only carried the Parcels branding for about 5 months Oct 87-Feb 88, the sparrow went on i believe june 88 till its accident in Jan 1990 Not sure about the exact dates - but looking at various photos it does seem likely that the cockney sparrow was applied at the same time as the radio aerials were fitted. Since Bachmann only (at the mo at least) seems to have flush end cab tooling with radio aerials, what I want is not possible unless I remove the aerials as well as the sparrow. I prefer not to mess with limited editions, so a pass on this model is now confirmed on my part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 quick question, can I do a simple renumber of any of Bachmann's green 47's to this loco, d1864 or is it the different roof version?

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted January 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Hi Michael First things first - thats D1854 not D1864. 64 was an ER loco, this one is LM - note the W below the running number designating Western Lines allocation D1854 in this pic has Serck radiator grills - 2 with widely spaced slats, at far end in this view So Bacchys GSYP D1746 is wrong that has the original 3 fixed grills - as the currently listed GSYP D1572 so they are both no go The currently listed GFYE D1677 has the correct radiator panels - so that then takes us on to the boiler port. Class 47s had I think 2 main variants - square or round ports, at near end in this view. Looks to me from this photo as if 54 has the square pattern - this end of loco - so D1677 again correct. So looks like D1677 your best starting point in terms of the model but unfortunately if you want this livery is GFYE so out with the modelstrip....but she did go in to GFYE some time between this photo and the end of 1970 by which time D1744 was the last surviving GSYP Brush 4 D1854 still survives as "bodysnatcher" 57012 Kind regards Phil Edited January 9, 2013 by Phil Bullock 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The early models (can't recall the number) carried this version - try the -800?. Look just look for the sye and two-piece rad shutters on a green one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
