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 05 Hunslet shunter model D2592 is presented in British Rail green livery with the later crest and wasp‑stripe detailing. The model is built to OO gauge, finishes in a pristine condition, and carries the original running number D2592.

The locomotive is DCC ready with a six‑pin socket, features directional lighting, and draws power from all wheels. It uses NEM coupling, a minimum curve radius of 371 mm (first radius), and runs on diesel motive power. The model represents a British Rail Class 05 0‑6‑0 shunter built between 1955 and 1961, with a maximum speed of 18.8 mph. It is produced by Heljan, part number 2520, and depicts the British Railways late crest period.
