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.

The Heljan Metropolitan Bo‑Bo electric locomotive depicts unit number 11, named George Romney, in the London Transport maroon livery. It is modelled to OO gauge specifications and features a pristine finish, NEM couplings, and directional lighting. Power is collected via all wheels, and the model is DCC ready with a 21‑pin socket.

The prototype was built by Metropolitan‑Vickers between 1922 and 1923, with a total production run of 20 locomotives. It operated for London Transport, had a Bo‑Bo wheel arrangement, a maximum speed of 65 mph and could negotiate a minimum radius curve of 438 mm (second radius). The model carries the manufacturer part number 9007 and represents the early British Railways crest period.
