Bachmann’s award-winning Class 47 is back, and our brilliant Brush is better than ever following a brief spell in the works to add further enhancements to this stunning OO scale model.
After winning a public vote to be crowned Model of the Year 2021, the Bachmann Branchline Class 47 has a proven track record, and now we’ve taken things to the next level with an even higher technical specification alongside refinements to two key details.
Every Branchline Class 47 now comes with our Bach-Up Stay Alive System pre-installed, providing uninterrupted power when running on DCC to eliminate stalling, light flicker and sound cut-outs. Talking of sound and our SOUND FITTED and SOUND FITTED DELUXE models now boast the Dual Fitted XL speaker system, combining two speakers for optimum sound reproduction – including the new enhanced bass reproduction speaker, a patented component which incorporates a passive radiator design for sound effects like you’ve never experienced before.
Not only was the Class 47 crowned Model of the Year in 2021 but our SOUND FITTED DELUXE features – motorised radiator fans and tinted windscreen glazing – were voted the Innovation of the Year and the SOUND FITTED DELUXE specification just got better with the addition of our revolutionary Auto-Release Couplings, fitted at either end to provide hands-free DCC uncoupling at the press of a single function button.
To define the Class 47 look we’ve turned our attention to the cab windscreen glazing and made improvements to the fit and finish of this important area. Snowploughs were a significant feature of some Class 47s too, and we’ve totally redesigned this component which now attaches to the chassis of the locomotive, providing a fixed position for a realistic appearance even when running on curved track, and allowing the bufferbeam detail to be fitted at the same time.
These enhancements only add to the stunning model that is the Branchline Class 47, with its high fidelity mouldings, a wealth of fitted parts and countless tooling variations to capture the minutiae of the real locomotives throughout their lives - ensuring each model is faithful to its prototype.
