Manufacturer description

The beauty of the Class 33 lies in its functional, uncluttered design. We have meticulously recreated the distinct body profile, featuring fine-scale roof fan grilles, authentic bogie detail, and the specific cab-end variations that define the 33/0, 33/1, and 33/2 (Slimline) variants. With a smooth-running motor and heavy-duty chassis, the Heljan Class 33 is engineered for the same dependable service as the real thing.

One of our most popular ‘OO’ gauge models is returning in late-2025 after several years out of the range. The classic BRCW Type 3 – better known as Class 33/0 – is back with six liveries ranging from original BR Green to 1980s BR Blue and contemporary West Coast Railways red. Also included in the batch is unique BR Blue/Yellow 33012 in late-1990s condition and 33026 in early-1990s BR ‘General’ Grey.

Standard features include:
- 21-pin MTC DCC Decoder Interface
- Sprung Buffers
- Authentic LED Lighting
- Illuminated Headcode Panels
- Wire Handrails
- Smooth and powerful performance
- Heavy die-cast chassis
- All-wheel pick-up and drive
- NEM Couplings
- Fine body, bogie and underframe tank detail
- Exquisite livery application based on extensive research of the prototype locomotives
- Fine Etched Grilles
- Detailed Cab Interiors
