Manufacturer description

HELJAN is working on a new batch of OO gauge Class 33/0 diesel locomotives for release in 2021. The classic BRCW Type 3 is always a strong seller but their most recent batch of headlight-fitted models sold through in double-quick time.

This HELJAN OO gauge Class 33/0 features their proven high-performance motor/flywheel chassis, LED headlights and marker lights and an 8-pin DCC decoder interface. As before, the specification also includes sprung buffers, wire handrails, etched grilles, separately fitted windscreen wipers, bogie and bufferbeam details.
