RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 17, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi all Thinking about getting Bachmann 47 474 in Parcels livery to redo as a DRS loco, as I thought about 47 501 but not sure on things like fuel tanks, any suggestions or advice, please? many thanks Simon Why not go for ViTrains 47802? Cat. no. V2099. Already in DRS. A lot of people prefer the ViTrains 47 to Bachy 47's. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl1973 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Yes still need to get that one. Was wondering if was posible to do 47 474 Sir Rowland Hill as 47 501 Craftsman Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 It'll need a bit of chopping around with the tanks, and a different boiler exhaust plate (which I believe Shawplan are able to supply) but 474 would be ok to respray as 47501 if that's the route you want to take. The model comes with two tanks on the underframe, but 501 only has one. This kind of mod is a piece of cake on the Farish 47, assume its bigger brother is similar cheers jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl1973 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks Jo, thought the tanks would be different, might have to do with the Vi Trains one for now! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Whatever happened to a bit of good old fashioned modelling? cheers jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl1973 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Still busy doing class 60s. Just finished 60033 in Corus silver. I will have a go at doing 47501 but I need a few reference photos for the tank Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
