GRAHAM FARISH ‘LONG RANGE’ CLASS 47

What is it? Bachmann has decided to re-tool its Class 47 chassis to give it a Next18 decoder socket and provision for sound. Future Farish ‘Duffs’ will come with a factory-fitted sound speaker (but no decoder). As a by-product of this re-tool, Graham Farish is to produce the cut-away bufferbeam faring, which allows it to produce ‘47s’ fitted with long-range fuel tanks (Class 47/7 and ’47/8’) for the first time. What’s planned? 372-260: Class 47/8 47814 Totnes Castle, Virgin red/black 372-261DS: Class 47/7 47727 Rebecca, Colas Rail orange/ yellow, with sound Price? £134.95-TBC
