This class of locomotive was derived from prototype locomotives including BRCW's D0260 Lion and the Brush D0280 Falcon. The design was accepted as the Standard Type 4 medium powered main line locomotive and mass produced resulting in a total of 512 being built. Five locos, D1702-D1706, were originally built as Class 48 with different engines. All were later converted back to standard class 47s. One loco, D1628, was used as a test bed for Type 5 engines, etc and re-numbered 47601, then later 47901, finally being withdrawn as non standard. This loco formed the basis of the later Class 56.
The class has been devided into various sub-classes:
47/0
47/3
47/4
47/7
47/8
