Manufacturer description

Expected Delivery Q1/Q2 2024 (Subject to change at Manufacturer's Discretion).

These German-built railbuses were delivered in April 1958 and initially operated on the Maldon, Braintree, and Saffron Walden lines. The last working example was withdrawn from service in August 1967 and four survived into preservation. This model is an improvement on the previous version first produced by Heljan in 2012.
