Class 47 Dummy Chassis kit

The British Rail Class 47 or Brush Type 4 is a class of diesel-electric locomotive that was developed in the 1960s by Brush Traction. A total of 512 Class 47s were built at Brush's Falcon Works in Loughborough and at British Railways' Crewe Works between 1962 and 1968, which made them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive. The 47 'Duff' was seen all over the country pulling Express Passenger trains, Parcels, Heavy Freight and Engineers trains too. 

I have created 2 options, the first has an underframe spanning across between the bogies, this is how all of the 47's were initially built.

Quite alot of the Class 47's were then converted and renumbered in the mid 80's and had Extended Fuel Tanks fitted, amongst other things, including 47650-665 and 47701-717. Latterly in the early 90's, the fuel tanks were then added to other members of the class including many of the 47/4's and all 47/7's and 47/8's, some other loco's were also fitted with these tanks like most of the Immingham and Tinsley based 47/0's and 47/3's.

The bogie side frames have lots on show including steps, suspension, axleboxes, etc...   I have incorporated pockets for the Rapido style spring coupling allowing you to couple to another locomotive should you wish to for double heading, or for a dead in tow locomotive.

My kit comes with a Chassis, 2 bogies with retaining pins, 6 wheels and 2 couplings with springs. With my Class 47 chassis you need to choose which body you want it to fit, this is due to the tumblehome at the bottom of the bodyside. If you are not sure, the easiest way to tell is to check if the loco has lights, If it has lights and separate bufferbeams then it's the newer Farish by Bachmann Body. If there are no lights and the bufferbeam is part of the body, then it's the original Poole Farish Class 47 body. Please ensure you select the correct version from the buttons above.
