Model details

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 offers a 4mm scale (OO) model of the British Rail Class 128 parcels diesel multiple unit, reference number W55992. The kit is DCC ready with a 21‑pin socket and features a weathered British Rail blue livery with yellow ends, presented without any Scooby‑Doo branding.

The model reproduces the original unit built by the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company between 1959 and 1960. It represents one of the ten examples produced, originally operated by British Rail and capable of a maximum speed of 70 mph. The unit is fitted with all‑wheel power pickup, NEM/Tension‑lock couplings, and a minimum curve radius of the second radius (438 mm).

Technical details include a manufacturer part number 8922, diesel multiple‑unit motive power, and the ability to operate on a standard 2‑pole DCC system. The model depicts the pre‑TOPS British Rail blue period.
