When 47114 entered service (then numbered D1702) in November 1965 it was one of five prototype class 48 locomotives. These locos were fitted with a Sulzer V12 engine (12LVA24) in place of the standard twin bank Sulzer 12LDA28C. The V12 wasn't a great success and by the end of 1968 D1702 had been converted to the standard class 47 specification.
