9402 Fredrick Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 One sample has been made and it did look like a 47XX. Can you give us a link to the site you saw it on? I really want to see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I saw it in person and as it was the first sample to be made there were no pictures taken as there are still the odd issues to rectify first. Hopefully Heljan will have more on the 47xx shortly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted May 17, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2016 I messaged Heljan on Facebook about when they are expecting samples and the answer I got was "soon". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGV Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This is one that made be snigger (I am easily tickled these days): Heljan 4785 Class 47xx 2-8-0 4709 in BR lined Green with late crest - as preservedWill there be a race who completes first? PS - I am not knocking the work of the preservationists or the manufacturer - just the description. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) ....Will there be a race who completes first? PS - I am not knocking the work of the preservationists or the manufacturer - just the description. The bit about the wheels is interesting - note that they have had to use the post-1930 wheel pattern with webbing and a crankpin between spokes to match the wheels salvaged from the Large Prairie. All the original 47s were turned out with the earlier pattern (crankpin on spoke, and no webbing). Same goes for the reconstructed "Grange". Heljan will probably turn out their 4709 with the early pattern driver as I can't see them creating a late-pattern tool just for this one engine.

Or they'll all have the later pattern wheel (in which vein I see that they appear to have copied the pipework off one engine which is different from all the others - but it's early days of course).

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 19, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 19, 2016 According to Hattons product update page, the 47xx is now in tooling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 19, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2016 According to Hattons product update page, the 47xx is now in tooling. So going by one of their earlier comments about something being 'in tooling' that makes it about 3 years away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they just do the late pattern wheel so the can then go on to do the 61XX in 4mm... Luke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
