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 locomotive (model 76014) is supplied in British Rail blue livery with a set of working cables. The model is marketed as a Limited Edition for Olivia's Trains and carries the manufacturer part number 7603.

It is DCC ready with a 21‑pin socket, fitted with NEM/Tension lock couplings and a minimum curve radius of 2. The locomotive is built to OO gauge, has a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement and a maximum speed of 65 mph. The finish is described as pristine and the running number is 76014.

The prototype design by Nigel Gresley represents British Rail Class 76 locomotives built between 1941 and 1953, originally constructed at LNER Doncaster Works (prototype) and later at BR Gorton Works. Only 58 examples were produced, and this model depicts the pre‑TOPS British Rail Blue period.
