Manufacturer description

This heavyweight Type 4 proved its worth hauling everything from named expresses to unfitted mineral trains. Closely associated with the Midland Main Line and cross-country routes, the class could be seen over a wide area from central Scotland to the west of Cornwall. A huge range of detail variations has been designed into the model, allowing accurate depictions of specific Class 45/0s and 45/1s for the first time.

Following the incredible reaction to the initial batch of ‘45s’, a second production run is now being prepared for release in 2023.

The Heljan Class 45/0 'Royal Inniskilling Fusilier' D63 model is a scale representation of a British Rail diesel locomotive. The model features a 1Co-Co-1 wheel arrangement and is built to represent the late British Railways period, with a running number of D63 and a livery of Economy Green with a small yellow panel.

The model is DCC ready, with a 21 pin socket, and features a range of authentic details, including open or plated boiler steps and roof hatches, and bodyside grilles or plated panels. The locomotive also features a finely applied livery, smooth running motor and flywheel, NEM couplings, working lights, sprung buffers, cab lighting, and a sound ready feature.

The model is part of a larger range of Class 45 models from Heljan, which aim to capture the variety of details across the class with different periods, liveries, sub-classes, and individual locomotives represented. The Class 45s were built by British Rail at Derby and Crewe Works between 1960 and 1962, and the model is designed to reflect the many variations that exist within the class.

The model features a range of features, including a 21 pin DCC interface, NEM coupler pockets, and ample provision for DCC sound installation. The interior of the locomotive features LED lighting, with separately switched cab and tail lights. The model also features a minimum radius curve of 2, and is designed for use on all-wheel power pickup tracks.
