The Class 47 was British Railways’ most prolific class of main-line diesel locomotive and so it’s no surprise that high fidelity models of these ever-popular machines are available in N Scale as part of the flagship Graham Farish range. Such were the variations that appeared across the fleet, whether from new or following modifications or refurbishment, that various sub-classes were used to highlight particular features and the Class 47/4s were those locomotives fitted with Electric Train Heating such as No. 47425 ‘Holbeck’. This model takes full advantage to the recent upgrades that have benefited the Graham Farish Class 47, namely the technical advancements which see the model boasting a Next18 DCC decoder interface, pre-fitted speaker, cab lighting (when used on DCC) and independent control of the directional lights at each end. The Next18 interface and pre-fitted speaker are put to full use in this SOUND FITTED model, bringing an added dimension to your model railway straight out of the box! •Graham Farish N Scale •Era 8 •Pristine BR Blue livery •Running No. 47425 •Named ‘Holbeck’ •SOUND FITTED – Fitted with a ESU Loksound V5DCC Sound Decoder – See below for the function list •Length 139mm (over couplings) DETAIL VARIATIONS SPECIFIC TO THIS MODEL •Plated Headcode Panels with Sealed Beam Marker Lights at No. 2 End •Cab-Front Mounted ETH Equipment •Single Arm Windscreen Wipers •High Intensity Headlight •Round Buffers •Full Cab Roof Vents •Serck Radiator Grilles •Smooth Exhaust Panels •Plated Spanner Mk3 Roof Boiler Port •1,250 Gallon Water Tanks with Water Filler Valves •NRN Aerials •Plated Bogie-mounted Cab Steps GRAHAM FARISH CLASS 47 SPECIFICATION MECHANISM: •Coreless, twin shaft motor with two flywheels providing drive to both bogies •All axle drive •Electrical pickup from eight wheels •Diecast metal chassis block •Gearing arranged for prototypical running speeds and haulage capabilities •9mm (N gauge) wheels to NEM310 standards with authentic profile and detailing •Bogie-mounted coupling pockets to NEM355 standards at each end •Designed to operate on curves of second radius (263.5mm) or greater DETAILING: •Bogies constructed from multiple components featuring full relief detail •Separately applied detail parts, including lamp irons, cab handrails and roof aerial (where applicable) •Separately fitted battery box/water/fuel tank assembly •Cab Interior Detailing •Each model supplied with a full set of model-specific bufferbeam pipework and accessory parts LIGHTING: •Directional lighting, switchable on/off at either end on DCC or Analogue control •Cab lighting, switchable on/off (when used on DCC only) •Authentic light colours and temperatures selected for each model based on era and application DCC: •Next18 DCC decoder interface SOUND: •Speaker installed in all models for optimum sound reproduction •ESU Loksound V5DCC Sound Decoder fitted to SOUND FITTED versions •Sound files produced specifically for the Graham Farish Class 47 using recordings from real locomotives •SOUND FITTED models operate on DCC and Analogue control as supplied LIVERY APPLICATION: •Authentic liveries applied to all models •Multiple paint applications employed on each model using BR/TOC specification colours •Logos, numerals and text added as appropriate using multi-stage tampo printing using authentic typefaces, logos and colours SOUNDS F0 - Directional Lights - On/Off (plus Light Switch Sound) F1 - On - Warm Engine Start / On, Off - Failed Engine Start / On, Off, On - Cold Engine Start F2 - Brake F3* - Horn (Playable) F4* - Two-Tone Horn F5 - Heavy Load F6 - Coasting (Manual notch Down if F22 On) F7 - Maximum Revs (Manual notch Up if F22 On) F8** - On - Coupling Up / Off - Uncoupling F9 - Flange Squeal (Speed Related) F10 - Fan Noise F11 - Air Dump F12 - On - Guard’s Whistle / Off - Driver’s Response Horn F13 - Cab Lights On/Off No. 1 (plus Light Switch Sound) F14 - Cab Lights On/Off No. 2 (plus Light Switch Sound) F15 - Auto Uncouple Cycle F16 - AWS Horn F17 - AWS Bell F18 - On - Sound Fades Out / Off - Sound Fades In F19 - Mute (Latch) / Volume Cycles 6 Levels (Trigger) F20 - No. 1 End (Fan) Directional Lights Off F21 - No. 2 End (non-Fan) Directional Lights Off F22 - Manual Notching Logic On/Off (control with F6 & F7) F23 - Spirax Valve F24 - Station Announcement F25 - On - Driver’s Door Open / Off - Driver’ Door Shut *Alternative Horn sounds and behaviour can be selected via CV changes ** Alternative coupling sounds can be selected via CV changes Analogue Users: Please note that any automated drive sounds will be played when this model is used on analogue control (DC) straight from the box!
