We already have a few. Class 57 have different cabs. The front looks different in terms of light positioning.

Just had a close look at a picture of 57 001 and one of 47 193 and the only differance i noticed is that the 57 has got 1 long grab rail below the window and 47 193 has got 2 short ones

and the front of the 57s flat? and the 47s light panels sunken in?

There are indeed more differences than that. The 57 front end is revised, and there are other details too.

The 57's are nicknamed body snatchers, the only differences out side are new roofing panels and sand boxes! (maybe some others)
Inside the whole engine is new along with cabs ect...........

New engine = new noise! Sound a bit like a F18Hornet

The engines might even be made by Paxman!!!!!!??????? Not sure though!

The horn are still the same tone as the class 47 but now more air is blown through the horn which make it sound slightly different and louder!

Oh they also have stronger windscreen wiper motors

57 001 doesnt have a revised nose!, well the shot i have of it from 2002 certainly shows the lights are sunken in!

Right according to my pics of recently 57010/003/005/006 has a sunken one and 57001 isnt. Or am i to believe that its an end thing? one end/sunk one not?

I've always had a soft spot for it.
