The New 47 Arrived on 11th August 2012. She was purchased to replaced our retired class 47 County of Kent. After a running in period she entered full service by Mid August. Mechanically
similar to her sister Western Enterprise, these 2 new Mardyke engines will be the main stay of the SNBR fleet for many years to come we hope, allowing the older fleet to be either retired or rebuilt at
a more sedate pace. The New 47 was named Robert F. Fairlie by the chairman on the 28th August 2014, she also finally received her decals (large logo and number - 47645).
