D1648 / 47064 / 47639 / 47851

A total of 512 Class 47s were built at Brush's Falcon Works in Loughborough and at British Railways' Crewe Works between 1962 and 1968, which made them the most numerous class of British mainline diesel locomotive. The locomotives have had various renumberings during their existence; this table attempts to catalogue those changes.

As of January 2020, 78 locomotives still existed as Class 47s, with 33 having been rebuilt as Class 57; 32 Class 47s have been preserved, and 34 retained "operational status" on the mainline.
