The Rails email is saying these are the ones coming in and available to order. The delux versions are sold out with Rails at least - seems the same at most of the online dealers. Not bothered about spinning fans and tinted glass myself 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieghoff Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Received my class 47 today from Rainbow Railways. Top service and customer satisfaction . They even sent it on 24 hrs delivery via APC. Everything about the model is superb. Glad i got the deluxe version as well. Fans and window tints are definitely worth the extra money. Very impressed compared to the previus model. Edited December 16, 2021 by Krieghoff amended windows to reflect window tinting 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean "tinting" rather than glazing ? The purple haze in class 47 windscreens was a foil between the sheets of glass for the demister, I am guessing the windscreen spec was changed. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Collected 47375 today from Tennents Trains. Only had time to run it in so far, so no comparisons yet. The fans work very well and slow done really nicely. The glazing does look strange, but it's obviously correct. Will see if I can get a few photos tomorrow, but someone may beat me to it. PS The bogies look great. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted December 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2021 Happy in some ways that my local emporium has sold out of two tone sound fitted so I have no excuse to tell Mrs P I'm 'just nipping out Xmas shopping' Probably just as well as she correctly identified each of my parcel deliveries this week as 'a loco shaped box, a DVD shaped package and 'books from Strathwood' - they know more about what we're buying than we think 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
