Manufacturer description

3362 Heljan Class 33/1 Diesel Locomotive number 83 301 in Intercity livery.

Please note the bogies and other details will be as per the standard Heljan Class 33/1 model - it would not be viable to retool a new set of bogies and body for this model.

This loco worked as part of a test train formed in 1990 prior to the introduction of Eurostar units.  It was formed of Class 73 Electro-Diesel Locomotive number 73 205 named "London Chamber of Commerce", former Class 33/1 Diesel Locomotive number 83 301 nicknamed "Zebedee" and Class 438 4-TC set number 8007.  From the Summer of 1991 this ran with two additional vehicles in NSE livery.

Limited edition - exclusive to Kernow Model Rail Centre - supplied with numbered certificate of authenticity.
