as far as im aware, GBrf dont have any 47s. so i'll work off of 87's which are of a similar shape.
I just thort it would be gd to put in a yard or summink.
and if GBRf venture from under the wires with mail trains, they could be used there, etc. but thts just in MSTS

Fictional liveries are fine. Harold Bailey has only recently released some GBRF 87s.

the GBRf 87's are real repaints though.

but bring on class 47's in GBRf livery...
depends on the version though... class 66 style with GBRf Branding
or class 73 style with GB Railfreight Branding.

actually GBRf operated the Legend that is D1661/47840 aka "North Star"

for a period of a few months , she was based at old oak common and used by FGW for ECS duties inot paddington. she was also sused to haul 2 class 325 units to bristol (i think) with 57602 Dead on the Rear as insurance, this was prior to her use over christmas hauling additional mail trains between london and warrington/shieldmuir.

Sounds brilliant

I bet a '47' would look well in GBrF livery.
