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 O2/1 'Tango' 2-8-0 locomotive model 3922 is a OO gauge representation of a London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) steam locomotive. Built in 1921, this model is part of a range that covers various variants of the O2/1 class, which was introduced by the Great Northern Railway to haul heavy coal and ironstone trains.

The model features a 21 pin DCC interface, a factory-fitted speaker in the tender, and NEM couplings. It also includes sprung buffers, exterior details, and improved design and assembly compared to the previous batch. The locomotive has a wheel arrangement of 2-8-0 and is powered by steam. The model measures 255mm in length and has a minimum radius curve requirement of radius 2.

The model depicts the LNER livery in a post-war black finish and has a running number of 3481. The locomotive is DCC ready and has a NEM coupling. The model is part of the Big Four period, which represents the London & North Eastern Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, Great Western Railway, and Southern Railway.
