While they are all out I've had a chance to compare with the old Farish model;
I'll probably be putting the old one (back/left in the pic) up for sale. It's an old Farish body on a new Bachmann chassis (not the latest all new version but not the old Poole chassis either). The paintwork on the old model has been touched up a bit but the differences with the latest all new class 47 are quite obvious. The new roof is better detailed with crisper moulding, the paintwork is also crisper, the bogies are beefier and the windows and window area looks a whole heap more accurate. Obviously there's working lights on the new model but the IC words and logo are at the opposite end - I'm not sure which is correct.
In reply to James Hilton who kindly left the comment below (as you can't add pics to a reply); The Farish class 33 isn't that bad. With a bit of work and a new chassis it can look quite respectable;
