Hi does anyone know if the DRS class 47 is dcc ready and has headcode lights? Seen one I quite fancy and am pleased with a recent buy of a green 47. Thanks, George
Another house move despite "never again" has given me a second floor layout so Geominster Mainline & Heritage Line will be modified and enlarged with siding storage.

My Facebook Diary is Geominster if anyone wants to view it please ask, it is a private group requiring acceptance, thanks.

This then is my third version modified which has been improved from previous efforts and lessons learned.

Geominster was my first project which has now been dismantled. Having learnt so much from  previous Geominster projects this is the latest one.

Latest Youtube video is here.

Have you got the serial number chief?  Should be 37x-xxx or something and should be easy to find out from that.

With that code number, and the description on Hatton's site, then I would say it has a circuit board so needs a wired decoder soldered in. Don't have one myself, but I think only the more recent 47's have a six pin socket ?
Soldering the decoders in is not TOO difficult but if you do so it's near impossible to return them to "conventional" mode.....

I have a railfreight 47 from the same period. No lights and no PCB. 8f this is the sam you will need a digihat and do some extra work to install a decoder.

Richie, I think the definitive answer is here :-
