35-415K Bachmann Class 47/4 Diesel 47 845 County of Kent

Announced in November 2022 to coincide with Bachmann Europe’s Winter 2022 British Railway Announcements, we are delighted to present this Limited Edition model of Class 47/4 No. 47845 ‘County of Kent’ in Virgin Trains livery.

Using the award-winning, all-new Bachmann Branchline Class 47 as its basis, this Bachmann Collectors Club Limited Edition model sees the new 47 appear in Virgin Trains colours for the first time. 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 – the Class 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, the 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!
