Between 1962 and 1968, 512 Class 47s were produced by Brush Traction (Falcon Works) in Loughborough and British Rail Crewe Works. They were developed as part of the British Transport Commission’s plan to eliminate steam traction by 1968, under the requirement for a Type 4 locomotive with an axle load under 19 long tons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach locomotive was fitted with a Sulzer 12LDA28-C twelve-cylinder engine, originally rated at 2,750 bhp (˜2,050 kW), later derated to 2,580 bhp to improve reliability. Class 47s have Co-Co wheel arrangement, and could be fitted with steam heating, electric train heating, or no heating, depending on sub-class. Under the TOPS numbering system introduced in the early 1970s, they were renumbered into the 47xxx series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver decades they hauled both passenger and freight services across all regions of Britain, becoming the most numerous mainline diesel class in the UK. Although many have since been withdrawn, a number remain in service, some have been preserved, and 33 were rebuilt into Class 57s between 1998 and 2004\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BACHMANN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54539990237507,"sku":"35-411A","price":239.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/8477\/7795\/files\/35-411a.webp?v=1781093465","url":"https:\/\/stocktonmodeller.co.uk\/products\/bachmann-35-411a-class-47-0-47226-br-blue-era-8","provider":"Stockton Modeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
