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 26020, is presented in a gloss‑finished British Rail black livery with the early crest, as preserved. The limited edition model is supplied for Olivias Trains and carries the manufacturer part number 7605.

The model is DCC ready with a 21‑pin socket, fitted with NEM/Tension‑lock couplings and a minimum curve radius of 2. It represents a British Rail Class 76 locomotive built between 1941 and 1953, originally designed by Nigel Gresley and produced in a total of 58 units. The prototype was built at LNER Doncaster Works and later at BR Gorton Works, featuring a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement, a maximum speed of 65 mph, and a running number of 26020.

Technical specifications include OO gauge, electric motive power, pristine finish, and operation on British Railways with the early crest period. The model is suitable for collectors seeking a historically accurate representation of the early‑crest BR electric locomotive.
