Heljan’s OO gauge model reproduces the London, Midland & Scottish Railway Beyer‑Garratt (wheel arrangement 2‑6‑0 + 0‑6‑2) as it appeared in British Railways livery after nationalisation. The locomotive carries the BR Lion on wheel emblems on the cab sides and the standard BR number plates on the tanks, displaying running number 47981. The finish is described as pristine and the model is supplied in the early BR black with the early crest emblem.

The model is DCC ready, fitting an 8‑pin socket, and picks up power from the driving wheels only. It is equipped with NEM couplers with a tension‑lock option and can negotiate a minimum radius of 2 inches. The couplings and other fittings are suitable for typical OO gauge layouts.

The prototype was built by Beyer, Peacock & Co between 01 January 1927 and 31 December 1930, with only six examples produced. It was later operated by British Railways following the 1948 nationalisation, and the period represented by this model is the early BR crest era (1949‑56). The manufacturer part number for this Heljan model is 266211.
