RMweb Gold russ p Posted November 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2022 No they can't, the 47s have air throttle and are basically blue star . 57s have an 8 notch electro magnetic throttle very similar but not compatible with the EMD AAR system on the 66 47s when first fitted with DRS multiple working enabled them to multi with 20s and 37s but there were issues with the system on 47s and was changed to the RfD green spot system 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterspider Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Thanks I was confused by the photo of a 47 57 double header you can see on this page here https://www.tauntontrains.co.uk/photos/gallery/class47/7 I am sure it is a dead drag for redundancy...
