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 Class 16 North British Type 1 locomotive D8404, presented in British Rail green with Stratford‑style yellow warning panels, is issued as a limited edition of 750 units. The model is DCC ready with a 21‑pin socket, fitted with NEM couplings and directional lighting, and it picks up power from all wheels.

The OO gauge model bears a pristine finish, carries the running number D8404 and the late British Rail crest. It represents a Bo‑Bo diesel locomotive built in 1958 by the North British Locomotive Co in Glasgow for British Railways, originally capable of 60 mph, with a service life of nine years before withdrawal in February 1968. Technical specifications include a minimum radius of 2nd radius (438 mm) and a manufacturer part number of 1602.
