Hi, nice edition to your collection, such a shame our model railway manufacturers won’t make classic models like this ever again, they are focused on high end higher priced models for those who can afford them in my opinion, these cool looking models will be as rare as a politician telling the truth, I believe Kernow produced a class 47 in the transport police livery a few years ago, they very rarely appear for sale and are becoming a bit of a unicorn of the hobby, to be fair anything that won’t be produced again is a collectible item in model railway terms, thanks for sharing.
I didn’t know it existed too 😊 When I was told there was a Police diesel on the stall I thought it was going to be another 37. Had to buy this one 😁 Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍🏻
@ absolutely couldn’t agree with you more, btw that price was great, the regular livery options range from 60-120 used, haven’t seen a police one for sale yet so can’t be sure on price range but normally rarer items fetch a little higher prices
When I looked on eBay this model 47 used was around £150 for the ones that I could find. Would have been very nice for £30 😊 Thanks for the feedback and for watching 👍🏻

To be honest, that price is on the high side for second hand. Converted to UK currency, I would've said about £25 - £30 would be a reasonable price.
