Understandably people are now looking into alternate liveries for the Class 47. Though Heljan do not intend doing this themselves we can undertake limited alterations to finish one of their models in any livery. Tower Models received a number of commissions to alter the "as supplied" Class 47 into some of the later types. As can be seen from the photographs the fronts are much modified to depict later panels with extra lights and where necessary the elephants trunk being fitted. The models are then repainted, lettered and lined into RES, Freightliner, Scot Rail, Intercity, Dutch or similar liveries. It should be noted that no attempt is made to alter radiators or fuel tanks on the Heljan locomotive. These models are designed to be a well finished approximation that captures the appearance of the locomotive rather than an exact scale model. However, at an all up price of £670.00 for a clean finish and £695.00 for a weathered version they are excellent value for money. A few models are available off the shelf but if a particular number or named version appeals to you it can be completed to order. This will involve a delay of upto a couple of months.
