Class 47 was preceded by four members of class 28 introduced from about 1879, these having a slightly longer wheelbase. Only one of class 28 remaining into GSR service when it was renumbered 40 and included in GSR Class 47. This was the 100th locomotive built under the Alexander McDonnell period and was temporarily numbered 100 when new.[1]:65–66
Model
There is a detailed O Gauge model of engine 47 in the Fry model railway collection.[1]:380

gollark: Use it directly, I mean.
gollark: Though I guess you just need to reduce it to 10% or so to stop humans from being able to use it.
gollark: A complicating factor here is that whatever process you need to either remove the oxygen from earth or bind it in some chemical will probably run less efficiently as the oxygen content declines.
