Heljan have today provided decorated samples for the OO Gauge range of Class 57 locomotives.
Eight versions to be produced (including a Gaugemaster exclusive) with prices starting at £152.15, all available to be pre ordered with FREE UK POSTAGE. Expected Q2 2023.
Featuring a chassis upgrade with switchable LED lighting and a 21-pin DCC decoder interface, the models cover a wide range of colourful and popular liveries. While some have been seen on the HELJAN OO model before others are offered for the first time, including the more recent versions of FGW/GWR livery, West Coast Railways 'Northern Belle' red/cream and Network Rail yellow.
Standard features include a heavy die-cast chassis for superb pulling power and smooth running, four-axle drive with floating centre axles on each bogie for reliable operation, sprung buffers and NEM coupler pockets. There is also plenty of space internally or in the fuel tanks for a DCC sound speaker.
