Thanks, Dave Yes, I was surprised to see these, especially the Dutch one, although I didn't realise they were to be Modelzone limited editions. 47 835 was going to be sold by Antics, but I think it has now been cancelled: http://www.railway-models.co.uk/1302_1_2225303.html. I don't know when they are to be released but a best guess would be when the standard issue ones come out (Dec/Jan according to the Bachmann website), hopefully with the Kernow green one and Rails of Sheffield ScotRail-InterCity one too.

Guest Illustrious37 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 There are pictures of them here: http://www.ukmodelrailways.com/page2.htm It doesn't say who is releasing 47975 or 835 now.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 24, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2009 Little worrying that they have done 47835 with an Intercity mainline lower stripe, and swallow logos. the lower half should be intercity white! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Illustrious37 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi All Contacted Bachmann to find out where they are being released and got this reply; Many thanks for your email. I understand that these are limited edition models that have been cancelled by the retailers that they were produced for due to the economic situation. Our understanding is that they will be offered only through the Bachmann website. Please keep an eye on the website for further information.

Summer_Saturday Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Little worrying that they have done 47835 with an Intercity mainline lower stripe, and swallow logos. the lower half should be intercity white! Whoops, hopefully just an error on the pre-production model, with fingers crossed that it was done by someone practicing for a future Intercity Mainline liveried version.

Ed-farms Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The photo of the model shows the certificate undernaeath and that appears to be the right shade so here is hoping Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nse47 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Don't know if it helps but I've had confirmation from Hattons today that 47474 out of the standard 3 editions has now arrived in stock so suspect the other 2 will either be also available or very soon.

Thanks, Dave Stuck at home today because of the snow. so i phoned Bachmann regarding these two models as i would like one of each. They confirmed that these items were nothing to do with Modelzone. They are two models that were commissioned and then cancelled by retailers for one reason or another. They will be made available around mid January from the Bachmann Website for direct delivery to us modellers. Looking forward to the Dutch one in particular. Can anyone please confirm that Windsor Castle was a Royal Train Loco? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i will be treating myself to these in the new year as a slightly late Christmas present to myself. The reviews of the Branchline 47 elsewhere on this site look rather good. Have many happy memories of that Dutch one. It seemed to pop up wherever i was gricing for a summer back in the good old days! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hilton Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Ooooh the dutch 47 sounds interesting indeed - I'll keep my eyes peeled in the new year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implacable Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The Dutch loco is now available on the Bachmann homepage. seems to the same price as other ltd editions are being sold for. comes with a nice certificate. need a credit card to order on line tho. http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/class47/index.php?id=3 I love that Dutch livery, I remember that 47 well. seemed to turn up every where i went in the early 90's No info on Windsor Castle yet tho. Probably not arrived yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedmaster Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 I've been watching this one closely since making my original post, and would like to thank the tipsters for advising me that the dutch one is now available...........have just ordered mine for the 'NSE Snowtrain'.........when I've built it !!!

MRDBLUE17 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 47 975 looks very nice and I have just placed my order on the Bachmann site as it will be an ideal loco to run on Victory Road with a failed 108 in tow when I next get that layout out for a run! The old lima model always seemed a popular choice on many layouts at exhibitions and this model might just see a few of those old models retired!

giz Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Same with me, ordered yesterday morning and arrived today, certificate no. 14 of 512. Have to put in away now though as it will be my birthday present (end of march). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Walker Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Here's a few photos of the loco. Must say that the size of the box the loco came in was a shock. Thought I'd ordered 6 off and not just one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
