Railfreight distribution 47s with nameplates?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am trying to compose a list of the class 47s in railfreight distribution livery (the one the same as Bachmann's Diamond Jubilee model) which had nameplates. So far I have:

 

47033 The Royal Logistic Corps

47049 Gefco

47053 Dollands Moor International

47146 Loughborough Grammar School

47245 Institute of Export

47286 Port of Liverpool

47306 The Sapper

47310 Henry Ford

47323 The Rover Group Quality Assured

47326 Saltley Depot Quality Approved

47348 St Christopher's Railway Home

47365 Diamond Jubilee

47375 Tinsley Traction Depot Quality Approved

47555 The Commonwealth Spirit

 

Does anybody know any others?

When you say same of course the Bachmann model was a 47/3 which has different roof arrangement to 47/0 and different kit to 47/4 !

I just meant the same livery, because there was a second railfreight livery (which the Heljan 'Wilson Endeavour' was based on).

 

Hey, thanks for that! I was looking at that website all night. Just one question, is there a similar website where I can find all class 37s which were in a particular livery?

It's also complicated further as some of these didn't receive the cutaway bufferbeam featured on Bachmann's model - there's a few decent RfD namers which need a bit of work before getting them to look right!

 

The Platform 5 combined Locomotives & Rolling Stock annuals are a great starting point - all liveries and names listed on every class and then the research fun starts there! :)

Hi, I'm not too worried about counting bolts etc, I just wanted to find out which class 37s and class 31 locos belonged to ralifreight red stripe and sector petroleum liveries.

Cool, these books will be your friend!

Despite being in the internet age, I still find these give the best livery/stock overview in one place! Amazon or eBay will help you find the right book for the year(s) you're modelling, all the info in one easy location and you can spend absolutely hours pouring over them, fascinating stuff! Enjoy! :)

Agreed on the addictive nature of the 47 website  ;)

 

Not sure if there's anything like it for 37s, I'd quite like an answer to that myself.  Maybe someone out there will know...

From my 1995-1997 books, I've found a few more named 47's that received the full Railfreight Distribution colours at some stage of their career - 

 

47085 REPTA 1893 - 1993

47095 Southampton WRD Quality Approved

47186 Catcliffe Demon

47200 Herbert Austin

47218 United Transport Europe

47219 Arnold Kunzler

47228 axial

47241 The Silcock Express (later gaining Halewood Silver Jubilee 1988 plates - my personal fav!)

47297 Cobra RAILFREIGHT

47338 Warrington Yard

 

Hope this helps!

 

Cheers,

James

Not same level of detail to Class 47 but class37info.co.uk has a far bit of detail plus gallery.

My go-to source for the era being modelled James. They're cheap, available and rather more accessible instantly than the Internet. It's been said on this forum more than once that a Platform5 bible will answer piffling questions. And if not the links to UKRailDatabase or Class.bejang.com whatever frequently posted will garner results.
