There has been more good news about Class 47 50 Years of Locomotive History.We recently had our Royalty Statement from the publishers and over 800 copies of the book had been sold by the end of November 2012. That's nearly half of the total print run, and it was only launched in mid September...
Thanks ever so much for posting the photos.I shall be contacting the NRM to see what other information they have on the model of the Bo-Bo.
Best wishes

Quite a lot of the design work was done pre-war, indeed the SR accounts show they had spent a fair bit of money before WW2 began.The cab design for CC1 and CC2 was similar to the early 4SUBs and the 2Hals.

I didnt visit it, but my friend Antony Ford the Pullman historian told me on Wednesday he had eaten there a number of times, excellent surroundings to enjoy excellent food.

The order for the first two SR electric locos was placed on 7 October 1936, so it would be quite right. Do you have a picture of the model? These two locos ordered then went on to become CC1 and CC2.
