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 2909 Class 07 006 Powell Duffryn blue/white diesel shunter is an OO‑scale model presented in pristine condition, ready for operation on the original livery of the former British Rail shunter.

The model is DCC ready with a 6‑pin socket, features directional lighting and all‑wheel power pickup, and uses NEM couplings. It can negotiate a minimum radius of 371 mm (1st radius) and is capable of a maximum speed of 20 mph. The wheel arrangement is 0‑6‑0.

It represents British Rail Class 07 number 07006, built by Ruston & Hornsby at Lincoln in 1962 for British Railways. The prototype served the Powell Duffryn operation for 15 years before withdrawal in July 1977; only 14 of the class were produced.

Heljan offers a DCC fitting service using the RAILS CONNECT decoder RO6D (part number DCCFIT6). The price of the decoder is included in the fitting fee. Note that sound fitting is not available from Rails of Sheffield.
