It just goes to show how a few simple steps can breath life into an older tooling! Being inspired by the latest offering of a Class 47 from Bachmann, here's my attempt at bringing the Hornby iteration up to speed on a budget! A donor Lima body became the basis of a new paint scheme, with the only major changes being. Detailing one buffer beam with parts from the spares box (other buffer beam left clear for tension lock coupling which is including).

Replacing the traction-tyred wheels with metal ones. Painted and weathered by myself.

The Lima body has been mounted on one of the newer generation Hornby Railroad Class 47 chassis, and the loco has a speaker mount and an 8-pin DCC socket if one wants to upgrade it to digital. Currently it runs well in it's DCC Ready state. Open to all fair offers. Please note - the buffers' mounting plugs have been cut down, and the buffers have been glued to the loco body. DO NOT try and pull out the buffers to release the body!

If one wants to remove the body to access the internals: simply prise the body gently from both sides as it is only held on by clips.
