Heljan Class 07 shunter 07001 is a OO gauge model presented in the Harry Needle Railroad Company livery and sold exclusively through Hattons Model Railways. The model is DCC ready with a six‑pin socket, power being collected from all wheels, and fitted with NEM/tension lock couplings. It represents the British Rail Class 07 diesel shunter built by Ruston & Hornsby in 1962, which had a 0‑6‑0 wheel arrangement, a maximum speed of 20 mph and a service life of fifteen years before withdrawal on 07 July 1977.

The model carries the running number 07001, bears a pristine finish, and can negotiate a minimum curve radius of 1. It is listed under Heljan part number 2930 and reflects the period of the initial privatisation of British railways. Only fourteen of the original locomotives were produced, all ordered by British Railways.
