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 number 76022, is offered in a limited edition livery of British Rail blue for the Olivia's Trains range. The model is DCC ready, featuring a 21‑pin socket, and is presented in pristine finish. It is made to OO gauge standards and bears the running number 76022.

Technical details include a minimum curve radius of 2, NEM/tension‑lock couplings and electric motive power. The prototype represents a locomotive built between 1941 and 1953, with a total production run of 58 units. The original class served British Rail, achieved a maximum speed of 65 mph, and was designed by Nigel Gresley with a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement. Construction was carried out at LNER Doncaster Works (prototype) and later at BR Gorton Works. The model carries Heljan part number 7604 and depicts the British Rail blue period prior to TOPS.
