Class 47 556 BR Blue (DCC-Sound)

The British Rail Class 47, also known as Brush Type 4, is a class of diesel-electric locomotives developed in the 1960s by Brush Traction. A total of 512 units were built between 1962 and 1968 at Brush's Falcon Works in Loughborough and at British Railways' Crewe Works, making them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive. These locomotives were powered by the Sulzer 12LDA28-C engine, initially producing 2,750 bhp, later derated to 2,580 bhp to enhance reliability. They were used for both passenger and freight services across the UK. As of 2024, 76 Class 47 locomotives remain in existence, with 32 preserved and 33 converted to Class 57s. Despite the introduction of newer locomotives, many Class 47s continue to operate on mainline and heritage railways.
