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 English Electric DP2 prototype model in OO gauge. The model represents the British Railways two‑tone green livery with the late crest, as used from 1965 until the prototype’s withdrawal in 1967. It carries the running number DP2 and has a pristine finish.

The model is DCC ready, fitted with a 21‑pin socket, and picks up power from all wheels. It uses NEM/tension‑lock couplings and can negotiate a minimum radius curve of 438 mm (2nd radius). The wheel arrangement is Co‑Co, and the motive power is diesel.

Built to a scale of OO gauge, the model is produced to Heljan part number 4011. It depicts the British Railways early‑crest period and replicates the prototype built by English Electric at Vulcan Foundry in 1962.
