Not sure on the others but 2594 is presumably based on D2587 and D2595 as used at Chadderton Power station. With both being ex-BR examples this makes the model suitable.

It looks to me like there's two styles of Bachmann 47s that have split paths somewhere in the past - the 47/0 which has the rivetted windows and ex-Class 57 tanks, and the 47/4 (and variations thereof as well as the mid-life 47/3) that has the correct body and variations of correct tanks. It's a shame that Bachmann haven't binned the incorrect 47/0 tooling and just stuck with the 47/4 (how many people would have minded a headlight for the sake of having correct tanks and windows?)

Full marks on the railtour rake - it's great to see someone truly making the effort rather than buying 1960s era mk1s and a 'random' steam loco and running that.
The stock photo on the Hattons website shows the lack of headcodes, and it's entirely authentic - there's a great photo on Flickr of D9526 at Westbury in 1977 (that unfortunately I can't link to properly as I'm on my phone!) showing the removed headcodes.
Edit - hope this works....

Hi All,
Has anyone any indication whether the tanks from under the Rails 47145 (and I presume the Modelzone 47972) will be available at some point as spares?

If you're insinuating it in Heritage Green....all 8 months (?) of it! although of course there's countless Replica 45106s running around on '1960s' layouts.....a personal pet hate?
