June the 10th 1986 saw the launch of Network SouthEast – forty years ago today and what better way to mark this anniversary than by showing our forthcoming model of 47710 seen running on Ian Blackall’s excellent Tidworth.
Our thanks to Ian and the team for allowing us to give 47710 a run out at last weekend’s DEMU Showcase exhibition.
We are very excited to show off 3 recently arrived Class 47 painted samples this weekend at DEMU Showcase.
If you are attending the show over the weekend please visit our stand to see the samples in person!
Please note there are a few small tooling changes still to be made ahead of the pre-production samples.
