The British Class 47 is a class of British railway diesel-electric locomotive that was developed in the 1960s by Brush traction. A total of 512 class 47s were built at Crewe Works and Brush"s Falcon Works Loughborough between 1962 and 1968, which made them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive.

Network SouthEast (NSE) was one of three passenger sectors created by British Rail in 1982.

NSE principally operated commuter trains in the London area and inter-urban services in densely populated South East England, although the network reached as far west as Exeter. Before 1986, the sector was known as London & South Eastern. Network Southeast was finally dissolved with the privatisation of the network in 1994. The last passenger train still in NSE livery was run on 15 September 2007,.

The 47 is my latest purchase, I found them all separately on sale  from a bring and buy model train show, the total cost being $30 

There was not much work required.to bring them up to an excellent standard.   I repainted the roof linings  in mat grey/black with a little bit of weathering in brown.

Regarding the train coaches I also paint up the interior in red and green and added some passages

The locomotive I repainted the cab and added a driver

Now it all set to run the London circuit.

I’m thinking of adding some lighting later down the track
