PenrithBeacon Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Trawling through the various threads on 47s I've been amazed at the shear variety of varients. Can anyone recommend a book that will guide me through the maze? Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted April 28, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2016 Possibly this one? You can get a Google preview of it, but not for the class 47 section sadly. https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/British_Rail_Main_Line_Locomotives_Speci.html?id=e4t8AwAAQBAJ&redir_esc=y Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrushVeteran Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I would recommend 'Class 47 50 Years of Locomotive History' by Simon Lilley, John G. Hiscock and Robert Ward. ISBN 978-0-86093-648-0 at £29.99. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted April 28, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2016 Quite pricey now though! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Class-47-Locomotive-History-Hardcover/dp/B00XDGX9GA/ref=oosr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it is out of print. They had a bit of a rush of sales, the last time the book was mentioned in a thread on here. Their email is class47preservation@yahoo.co.uk Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
