Class & Prototype

The British Rail Class 47, or Brush Type 4, built 1962-1968, represents Britain's most numerous mainline diesel with 512 locomotives constructed by Brush Traction and BR Crewe Works. Despite early reliability problems, a mid-1960s decision to derate engines from 2,750 to 2,580 bhp transformed the class into Britain's most dependable mixed-traffic locomotive, achieving 55+ years service. Operating across all BR regions hauling everything from royal trains to coal hoppers, Class 47s wore over 30 distinct liveries spanning BR green through colourful sector schemes to privatisation colours. Currently, Bachmann and Heljan produce exceptional OO gauge models with motorised fans, ESU LokSound V5 sound, and 150+ detail parts, while Graham Farish dominates N gauge. With 32 preserved locomotives and continuing heritage operations, the "Duff" remains an iconic part of British railway heritage.
