Heljan Class 26/0 model 26010 reproduces the British Rail Class 26 diesel locomotive in the Railfreight grey livery with a red stripe. The model is built to OO gauge, features a pristine finish and carries the running number 26010. It uses a 8‑pin DCC Ready socket for digital control and is fitted with NEM couplings.

The locomotive runs on all wheels for power pickup, includes directional lighting and can negotiate a minimum radius curve of 2nd radius (438 mm). Technical details reflect the prototype built between 1958 and 1959 by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company, of which 47 were produced. The real Class 26 had a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement, a top speed of 75 mph, and operated under British Rail Railfreight during the sectorisation period.

Manufacturer part number 2656 identifies this model, which is intended for collectors and hobbyists seeking an accurate representation of a British Rail diesel locomotive from the late 1950s.
