The Heljan model depicts a British Rail Class 26 locomotive (number 26029) in the original British Rail blue livery with full yellow ends. It is produced to OO gauge standards and carries the manufacturer part number 2613. The model represents a locomotive built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company between 1958 and 1959, during the pre‑TOPS period of British Rail.

The locomotive is DCC ready, featuring an 8‑pin socket, NEM couplings and directional lighting. Power is collected from all wheels, and it is capable of running on a minimum radius curve of the second radius (438 mm). The wheel arrangement is Bo‑Bo, and the maximum speed of the prototype was 75 mph. The model is finished in pristine condition and includes full functionality for diesel motive power.

The real Class 26 fleet comprised 47 units, all built in the late 1950s for British Rail. This model accurately reflects the appearance and specifications of the original locomotive as operated by British Rail.
