As for Class 56..........well that's another story.

The grafar 47 was a good model for it's time. Unfortunately, that was a quarter of a century ago.... I understand the motor has been upgraded but the body just got a new coat of paint. (I'd model in 'n' but the majority of stock is too toy-like).

I know what you mean about the 56, almost as big a hash as the prototype!
