Graham Farish 371-829A Class 47/4 47425 BR Blue ‘Holbeck’

Product Description

Graham Farish 371-829A Class 47/4 47425 BR Blue ‘Holbeck’

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. This model tells the story of the Class’s early days of service, sporting original features and carrying the iconic two-tone green livery in which the majority of the fleet was outshopped, complete with small yellow warning panels at either end.

D1565 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. With the Next18 interface and pre-fitted speaker, SOUND FITTED models can now be offered for the first time.
