Hot off the press from Cavalex is their very exciting take on the stalwart and ever popular Class 47. A fantastic addition to the Railway Icons range, we are proud to present this latest OO Gauge offering in two liveries and several running states (see other items for details). These models feature a wealth of individual details and a fine finish that has been rigorously researched and applied to each model to represent the individual prototype as accurately as possible. They also feature an innovative removable panel to allow for easy DCC chip installation and access to the comprehensive dip switch control for DC users, which allows access to all of the DCC functions for lighting, without the need to remove the model from the track. There are also some unique AMD (Adaptive Magnetic Detailing) features still to be announced...

These are definitely models you don't want to miss, and numbers are extremely low!

Similar to our Railway Icons HSDT Prototype model, Prince William is preserved as part of the National Collection. However our Railway Icons models depicts the locomotive as it ran earlier in life (in the Rail Express Systems version of the Royal Train livery, as carried from May 1995 to late 1997), which has minor differences to how it is currently preserved today. No.47798 can currently be found at the Railway Museum in York, in the GREAT HALL.

Locomotion Models has produced an Exclusive OO Gauge model of No.47798 in the past, however this depicted the locomotive in the later 'EWS' Royal livery.
