The Heljan Railbus W&M E79964 is a OO‑scale model of a British Rail Railbus built in 1958 by Waggon‑und‑Maschinenbau GmbH, Donauwörth. The model is presented in British Rail green with the late crest and carries the running number E79964. It is finished in a pristine condition and represents the early‑crest period of British Railways.
The model is DCC ready, fitted with a 21‑pin socket, and includes both directional and interior lighting. Power is collected from all wheels, and the locomotive is powered by a diesel motor. It can negotiate a minimum curve of 438 mm (2nd radius) and is capable of a maximum speed of 55 mph.
Only five examples of the original railbus were produced. The Heljan model carries the manufacturer part number 8706 and is suitable for use on British Railways layouts.
