The Heljan model replicates a Cargowaggon long‑wheelbase ferry van in a silver and blue livery. It is produced in OO gauge (1:76 scale) and is intended for use on model railway layouts.

The kit was tooled in 2007 and features a chassis built from plastic and metal with a pristine finish. The van rides on bogies and uses NEM tension‑lock couplings that mount in NEM pockets. It has a minimum curve radius of 2 units.

The prototype was built in 1977, with a total of 120 units produced, and was used for international cargo transport and barrier duties for rolling stock movements. It was operated by Cargowaggon, Railadventure and Feroviar Roman and remains represented as being in service to the present day, reflecting the British Rail sectorisation period.
