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.

The Heljan Class 02 D2864 is a model of a diesel locomotive representing a British Rail Class 02 locomotive in BR green with late crest livery. The model is OO gauge and features a 0-4-0 wheel arrangement, with a length of 88mm and a minimum radius curve of 1.

The locomotive is based on a standard industrial design and was built by the Yorkshire Engine Company in Sheffield between 1960 and 1961. A total of 20 locomotives were produced for British Railways, which operated them in the north west of England for shunting duties around docks and goods depots.

The model features a highly detailed cab interior and underframe, with working lights and a next18 DCC decoder interface for easy digital control. The locomotive is DCC ready, with an 18-pin socket, and features NEM couplings.

Key specifications include a maximum speed of 19.5mph, a length of 88mm, and a gauge of OO. The model's running number is D2864, and it is built to represent the period of British Railways' late crest.
