kintbury jon Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yes I was getting it confused with the one that they are going to release (47834 Fire Fly). Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yep suspect a glut of these never sold. I bought a body only from Bachmann at model rail show last weekend for £10 - wonder whether this e-bayer did same? Mine prob going to disappear under a coat of something but not sure what yet...

Matt Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Actually just took a closer look. 47835 as sold by Bachmann as a limited edition had white lower body sides. The 47835 body shell I picked up at the weekend has mushroom coloured body sides as commented on earlier in this thread regarding one for sale on ebay. This looks like perhaps the locos were delivered with wrong coloured lower sides and then had the bodies replaced and Bach now selling off th incorrect coloured bodies. Makes no odds to me for where this shell is intended but does suggest Bach corrected when they realised there was a problem which is to their credit. It may also explain why so many 47835 shells kicking around at the moment and no chassis I've seen distinguished by white painted piping. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Maybe slightly off topic as this is a departure from how they appear out-of-the-box, but the pic below shows the status of my detailing project that's now well into its second year... and still plenty of work to do too. Buffers cleaned up and blackened... bogies detailed and P4 Ultrascales (elsewhere) now painted. Originally this was a Banger blue domino 47035 - will be a Blue 47415 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the penguin of doom Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Very nice that Jon. I notice that Shawlan have released the cab door window frames which I reckon I'll be making use of. Cheers. Sean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Very nice that Jon. I notice that Shawlan have released the cab door window frames which I reckon I'll be making use of. Cheers. Sean. Yes... they're fitted. Brian pointed them out to me at Ally Pally... which was good timing because I was next about to prime the body - so it was one more job to do. They're quite fragile but do make it look much neater around the edges. Jon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I noticed those were just released as well, be perfect for my 47s especially my Lima one NL 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

45059 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 For those wanting the Modelzone Class 47 47972 in technical services livery its reduced to £59.99 on their website. http://www.modelzone.co.uk/exclusives/modelzone-exclusive-class-47-royal-army-ordnance.html Yep, and they just got a bit more limited, as the four I now have are about to have a make-over a wag would be proud of! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(S) Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 For anyone interested in the RfD livery Class 47, 47365, Bachmann have now amended the original incorrect livery: http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/image_box.php?image=images1/branchline/32-816.jpg&cat_no=32-816&info=0&width=650&height=215 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium James Makin Posted June 4, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4, 2013 Anyone heard any news to suggest if the new batch of standard refurbished 47s (RES etc) will be delivered in July alongside the NRM Royal Ltd Ed one please?

According to the Bachmann website, the IC Swallow, RfD European and RES Crewe-cut 47s are all due July/August so its likely at least one if not all will be on the same container ship.

Removed a/c Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Maybe it is me but there is something not right about this site for overseas shipping. When I go to order it doesn't deduct the VAT and says shipping is £8.00, but elsewhere on the site shipping appears to be an add on and it is £17.00.

I'm in Portugal and was charged £12.75 for postage. I was told I could order on the internet if I preferred so they think it should work, although Portugal is of course EU so VAT is not deductable.

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted June 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2013 While the Royal 47798 Ltd Ed will grab all the attention, I can't help but think the RES release will be the unsung hero here! I am really hoping that this model will finally be the 'ultimate' best of breed life-extended 47 that we will see after many years of 'near misses' and I don't know about you but I can think of literally dozens of much-loved prototypes from the late 90s/early 00s that I'd want to model using the RES 47/7 example, it'll be amazing! Not to mention the 47/8 repainting opportunities, can feel myself cracking open the Virgin and Great Western paint tins when Bachmann's container ship docks!

kintbury jon Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Has anyone bought the NSE one (47715 Haymarket)? Rails are doing free postage and a free NSE Bachmann BFK for £89.20. I guess this puts a value of around £75 on the loco. Quite tempted by it, I have Heljan's 47711 and Vitrains 47587 though so do I really need another? It does look nice though, particularly with the jumper cables on the front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the loco number is there any difference between this model and 47707 (Holyrood) which is a deferred release for later this year ???? Also priced a bit cheaper at £86.36 but they then added the free coach to go with 47715. Cheers LJC Edited June 5, 2013 by LJC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kintbury jon Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Had forgotten about 47707. Seems odd to produce two near identical models, surely more sensible to pick a 47/4 numbered example or a different livery, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers LJC 47 707 has a flush headcode at No1 end, 47715 has recessed headcodes at both ends. HTH 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I quite agree with James regarding the Res 47. I pre-ordered one when first announced through Richard at the Train shop in Morecambe as not only is it a nice livery, its such a useful loco. I liked them on the TPO's but around 99,2000 in the final few years of the EWS love hate period with them on freight workings and the sleepers in Scotland gives so much scope for it. The Royal one is also ordered as it will certainly fit with my WCRC set on charters. Looking forward to them coming out. Mark 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I thought the other nse one had been binned entirely in favour of this one. I'd be happy to see. more variation on the 47/4 s in large logo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matabiau Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have just taken delivery of one. The finish is excellent, as usual, but unfortunately this model has trouble staying on the track. My other Bachmann 47s run perfectly, it is only this one that comes off on the curves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
