My Heljan O gauge class 47, 47004 posed on my layout.
This loco was purchased by my dad from Tower Models in Blackpool in 2009, as D1942, which was one of their limited editions.
My dad passed away in 2013, and the loco stayed tucked up in its box, unopened until September 2024 when I was tidying up his loft and came across the loco.
Immediately I thought of converting it to pass as 47004, so thats what I did.
I removed the previous numbers, and added 47004's details with transfers from Fox, complete with its different numbers at opposite ends and additional decals.
I also added nameplates and shed plates from Shawplan.
I then sent the loco for sound fitting by local DCC expert Paul Hickman. Paul noted that several of the gears had disintegrated (as is usual with Heljan).
Paul kindly ordered some more and fitted the new ones, and now it works perfectly.
Made by Timothy Weeks. Hand fillet brazed from recycled high quality steel in Tim's back yard, using bilaminate construction. Booyeah!

So now it is our turn for us to show off his work...

1978 Hj47 Restored and ready to go. Nothing better than seeing a restoration finished that Mr Landcruiser got to help supply the correct parts for. Dune beige with a twist, this one has been finished in a satin. Standard H motor , 4 speed with a style side tub, factory bar you've got a classic look with some modern wheels for bling. A real credit to it's owner....
