BACHMANN 35-421 CLASS 47/4 47526 BR BLUE LARGE LOGO WEATHERED
Following the release of the first of the all-new Bachmann Branchline Class 47s in late-2021, this new addition is treated to an authentic weathered finish, with the BR Large Logo Blue livery being portrayed in faded and peeling condition. With high fidelity mouldings, numerous separately 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 – our new 47 is brought to life with an exquisite livery application using true-to-prototype colours, fonts and logos. Along with an unprecedented array of lighting features, our new Dual Fitted speaker system is fitted to all models, bringing to life our SOUND FITTED models. For the ultimate experience, choose our SOUND FITTED DELUXE models with their ground-breaking motorised radiator fans and authentic tinted windscreen glazing!
