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 Class 76 EM1 Woodhead electric (model number 7601) is a limited‑edition OO‑scale locomotive in British Rail green with half‑yellow side panels and the early British Rail crest. It represents a British Rail Class 76 built between 1941 and 1953, with a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement and a maximum speed of 65 mph. The model carries the running number E26051, has a pristine finish, and is supplied with a 21‑pin DCC‑ready socket, NEM couplings with tension‑lock, and requires a minimum curve radius of 2 units.

The locomotive is electrically powered, based on designs by Nigel Gresley and manufactured originally by LNER Doncaster Works (prototype) and later by BR Gorton Works, with a total production run of 58 units. It is supplied as a limited edition for Olivias Trains, featuring the early British Rail crest livery and a detailed representation of the period it portrays.
