The resulting design became the iconic Brush Type 4 Diesel locomotive, a practical, versatile design with a very distinctive cab. Powered with a Sulzer engine and initially rated at 2,750hp, the locomotive could achieve a top speed of 75mph with a tractive effort of 55,000lb. Building commenced in January 1962 and the first locomotive No. D1500 appeared in late September of the same year with test runs on the London Midland Region and Western Region. The design was a success and BR went on to order a total of 512 with continuous production through to early 1967, forming the largest single class of main-line diesel locomotives in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring this time and subsequent years, several variations appeared with an increase in speed and tractive effort to 95mph and 62,000lb respectively. Originally fitted with four character train reporting head-codes, these changed to marker lights, with the addition of high intensity lights and roof aerials in the late 1980s. Other variations involved the fitting of different types of steam heating boiler for early BR coaching stock, later replaced with electric train heating for use with modern rolling stock. The numbering system started with four figures but changed to five with the introduction of the TOPS coding system which saw the locomotives classified as Class 47 Diesels with variations such as 47\/0, 47\/2, 47\/3, 47\/4 and 47\/7. By the end of the 1990s, half of the Class 47 fleet had been withdrawn or scrapped, 33 have been converted into Class 57 locomotives and several have been preserved, including the original No. D1500, now numbered 47401.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBachmann Branchline OO Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEra 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePristine BR Railfreight Distribution European livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNamed ‘Tinsley Traction Depot - Quality Approved’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRunning No. 47375\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEtched Nameplates and Depot Plaques included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEquipped with a Plux22 DCC Decoder Socket – recommended Decoder \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bachmann.co.uk\/product\/plux22-dcc-loco-decoder-%28with-brake-button-function%29\/36-570\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.bachmann.co.uk\/product\/plux22-dcc-loco-decoder-%28with-brake-button-function%29\/36-570\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eitem No. 36-570\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLength 255mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDETAIL VARIATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlated Headcode Panel at No. 1 End and Flush Front at No. 2 End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCut-Cab Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChecker Plate Kickplate below Cab Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSingle Arm Windscreen Wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRound Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFull Cab Roof Vents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSerck Radiator Grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRibbed Exhaust Panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlanked Roof Boiler Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater Tanks Removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLater Extended Fuel Tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNRN Aerials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Intensity Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlated Bogie-mounted Cab Steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlow Speed Speedo Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBACHMANN BRANCHLINE CLASS 47 SPECIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMECHANISM:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFive pole, twin shaft motor with two flywheels providing drive to both bogies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll axle drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eElectrical pickup from all wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeparate metal bearings fitted to each axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiecast metal chassis block and bogie towers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiecast metal gearboxes, with gearing arranged for prototypical running speeds and haulage capabilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5mm (OO gauge) wheels to NEM310 \u0026amp;
