Yes, this is the story:
ITALIAN MANUFACTURER VITRAINS, which entered the British outline 'OO' gauge RTR market in 2007 with a Class 37, has announced a range expansion that is headlined by the introduction of a new locomotive - a Class 47…
The model, priced around £80, will be to a similar specification as the Type 3, with central five-pole motor and directional lighting. It also features a finely detailed and accurately dimensioned bodyshell.
A pre-Christmas release is proposed for the model which will initially be available in two body variants formats as is obvious from the following running numbers:
November:
Class 47/4 47401 North Eastern (BR large logo blue)
December:
Class 47/7 47768 Resonant (Rail express systems red/grey)
Class 47/8 47844 Derby & Derbyshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry (InterCity Swallow)
ViTrains has also announced further Class 37 releases, some using its previously revealed tooling modifications, to create the Class 37/5 and Class 37/7 sub-class.

Class 37/7 37710 (Loadhaul black/orange)
