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.
