Catalogue listing

Model details

Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

Heljan's Class 14 BR Two Tone Green Diesel locomotive is a model of a 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic locomotive built by British Railways' Swindon Works between 1964 and 1965. A total of 56 of these locomotives were produced, but they found little work with British Rail and many were eventually used by the National Coal Board, British Steel, or sold abroad.

The model is built to a high standard, with a pristine finish and accurate detailing. It features a 21-pin DCC interface, working lights, NEM couplings, and sprung buffers. The locomotive is DCC ready, with an 8-pin socket.

The set also includes four BR Black 'Dogfish' Hoppers, also in pristine condition. The locomotive is modelled in Two Tone Green livery and has running number D9553, while the wagons are modelled in black livery without running numbers.

The Class 14 locomotive was a 650hp diesel-hydraulic design built by British Railways to replace the GWR Pannier Tanks. It was used by the Western Region of BR but had a relatively short service life, with many being withdrawn by April 1968, just two years after entering service.
