Great reviews, well done. May try a few of my own soon, only just started with the videos of my layout..

Bachmann needs to re tool the original Class 47 (unrefurb) due to the rivets on cab window surrounds. Drivers Cab door window height, incorrect detail on right hand side of bogies & incorrect fuel gauge placement on tanks..... plus other small details.... They seem to have corrected some of the above with the refurbished later models with the 21pinc dcc however have the ugly headlight... (these in my belief spoilt the look of all british diesals)

Bachman make the best class 47`s I have two green ones D1500, D1572 and I

have 47148. I also drive a class 47 on my train simulator 2012

very thorough and informative review, enjoyed watching! Just minor niggle was the focusing, would have made it even better if the camera had focused on details.

@tjf4375: Thanks and sorry about that, the camera I was using for this video was a Digital Camera, not ideal for review videos but I have recently upgraded to High Definition on my newer uploads which is a big step up from normal video filming as the new camera can pick up the finer detailling better.

@EWS60008 Superb! Apologies, didn't mean to be critical as it's still a really good review, look forward to watching the new HD reviews! Keep up the great work :)

Excellent review. I am thinking of getting a Bachmann 47, either Intercity 47612 Titan or NSE 47573 London Standard.

[EWS60008]

@Mytimekid: Thanks, As for the Class 47's. I am seeking both 47612 and also I would love an NSE one as well as rode one with MkII's to Lincoln back in 1991 when BR was still using Class 101's around here.

great!, might get a vitrains one, un less bachmann make one i like

[EWS60008]

@itgamer100: The ViTrains one looks good and I am thinking of getting a ViTrains chassis to repower my Lima 47 which I have recently reviewed in a newer video I uploaded today.

I have the "University of Leicester" one in BR Blue large Logo. Runs great, might fit DCC sound decoder at some stage

[chbitter]

sure it is a very nice model hop to se it running in one of your videos :-))

[EWS60008]

@chbitter: I will see if I can get a video up at the weekend mate.

Can I take it as read that the tooling for this 47 is exactly the same as the other 47s out for Bachmann at the moment? The 47 looks fantastic! If the fans are anything like my Bachmann Class 25, they dont spin when the loco is running, but they can spin, and I think I've seen people wire them up to make them spin at certain points.

[EWS60008]

@TangmereTornado: I believe they have uprated the 47 again since this version was released as the ones like 47535 and Titan have 21 pin DCC sockets and also they have aerials mounted on the cab roof as well as snowploughs that can be fitted to the model via the NEM coupling socket.
