They were a development of the earlier Class 26; both were originally classified as the BRCW Type 2. The Class 27s were numbered D5347-D5415.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn all 69 locomotives were built by Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRCW) during 1961 and 1962. BY 1969 the Class 27 was being used almost exclusively in Scotland. They were withdrawn from service in 1987 and eight survive into preservation.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe very intensive 90 mph (140 km\/h) \"push-pull\" service, on the Edinburgh-Glasgow push-pull operation, was demanding on the locomotives and reliability started to suffer. The 27\/2s, especially, appeared prone to fire damage, especially from their electric train heating alternators. The push-pull sets were replaced in 1980 by single Class 47\/7s at one end of a rake of Mark 3 carriages and a DBSO. The Class 27\/1s and 27\/2s were then renumbered to 27\/0 and could often be found on Edinburgh-Dundee semi-fast passenger services, until their replacement.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMODEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese great little models feature lots of details including internal cab, external pipe work, directional lighting, and finely printed external logos and numbering.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarkened wheels and pin point bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll wheel pick up and all wheel pick drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes both standard and knuckle couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes etched brass name and number plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes spares bag with additional detailing parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Lights and headcode box lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetailed body with etched grills and separately fitted handrails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 pole Super creep motor with huge pulling power and incredible slow running speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLASS 27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIVERY BR Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eERA 7 (1971 - 1982)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHEEL CONFIGURATION Bo-Bo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOUPLINGS NEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC TYPE Next18 Pin Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRACK SUPPLY 12v DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePAINT FINISH Pristine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLENGTH OVER BUFFER 105mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWIDTH 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEIGHT 26mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56844994642304,"sku":"DAP-2D-013-002-PO","price":99.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_6116_4981b05a-5703-48af-b7ca-fc5d59153015.jpg?v=1762618578","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/dapol-2d-013-002-po-pre-owned-class-27-d5349-br-green-diesel-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
