Heljan 5703 is a 00 gauge model of a British Rail Class 57/3 diesel locomotive, carrying the running number 57310 and fitted in Virgin Trains West Coast livery. The model is finished in pristine condition and is ready for digital command control via an 8‑pin socket.
It represents a Co‑Co diesel locomotive built between 2002 and 2005. The locomotive is equipped with all‑wheel power pickup, NEM/Tension‑lock couplings, a minimum curve radius of 2, and a maximum speed of either 75 mph or 95 mph depending on the control settings. The model is DCC Ready and uses the manufacturer part number 5703.
The prototype operated for Virgin Trains East Coast during the initial privatisation period of British rail, and the model reproduces the locomotive as it appeared in that era.
