Hornby has announced it is adding Class 47 Brush Type 4s diesel locomotives to its TT:120 line-up.
The initial run of these newly tooled workhorses will be in BR two-tone green (Isambard Kingdom Brunel), BR large logo blue and Virgin Trains red (County of Kent). Hornby also announced a range of coaches in matching liveries to go along with the locos.
According to Railway Modeller magazine, the models feature a die-cast chassis, a five-pole motor delivering power to all wheels - which also all have electrical pick-ups - and illuminating headcode, marker and cab lights. There are also detailed cab interiors and numerous separately fitted parts, including front end and cab handrails, etched roof fan grilles, cab steps, buffers and underframe pipe detailing. The initial three models will be available both DCC ready and DCC sound-fitted with THS Triplex sound.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the BR two-tone green version and to see it running on my layout.
