Lima  Class 47 47114 'Freightliner Bulk' in Freightliner Triple Grey.

 

The British Rail Class 47 is a class of diesel-electric locomotives that were developed in the 1960s by Brush Traction. A total of 512 Class 47s were built at Crewe Works and Brush's Falcon Works, in Loughborough, between 1962 and 1968, which made them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive. They were fitted with the Sulzer 12LDA28C twin-bank twelve-cylinder unit producing 2,750 bhp (2,050 kW) - though this was later de-rated to 2,580 bhp (1,920 kW) to improve reliability - and have been used on both passenger and freight trains on Britain's railways for over 50 years. Despite the introduction of more modern types of traction, a significant number are still in use, both on the mainline and on heritage railways.

 

This engine is in reasonable second-hand condition with no major marks or blemishes and only a little wear to one set of engine numbers.  All buffers and couplers are in place.  It has been fully serviced and tested and runs very well in both directions.
