Heljan OO BR W55991 Gloucester Diesel Parcels Multiple Unit Green with Speed Whiskers (8900)

A new model from Heljan, expected May 2012.

A highly detailed model of the Gloucster RCW built BR class 128 diesel parcels multiple unit.
Heljan have promised detailing on this model with greatly improved depth, including full underframe detail, described as including the fan at the back of the radiator being visible.

The GWR built two of their streamlined diesel railcars for express parcels services. When the new BR standard design units were built these Gloucester single units were built for the same express parcels services. Allocated to the western region and later the Midland region the parcels units could be operated alone, coupled in multiple with to passenger-carrying diesel units and could also haul one or two parcels vans.

Four versions are being produced to represent these units at different periods of their lives. This model will recreate the as-built condition, painted in the standard green livery with speed whiskers.

Heljan OO English Electric DP2 Prototype Diesel Locomotive Early Green Livery (4010)

Expected Winter 2011/12 (to be confirmed)

A detailed model produced from original drawings and photographic evidence to recreate the prototype of the BR class 50 locomotives.

English Electrics' Diesel Prototype 2 (following on from DP1, the Deltic prototype) used a basic bodyshell from the production Deltic series, modified to accomodate a single 16-cylinder V form engine in place of the two deltic power units. BR engineers favoured medium speed diesel engines as these generally needed less maintenance, especially when compared to the complex Deltic power plants! DP2 failed to gain English Electric the large order for the new BR standard type 4 locomotives, the Sulzer engine and general concept of BRCWs' Lion being selected for what became class 47 with Brush as the principal builder. However a batch of diesel locomotives was needed to power services to Glasgow until electrification was completed and 50 locomotives based on DP2s machinery and built by EE, forming BR class 50.

Heljan locomotives feature a heavy diecast chassis block accomodating a central motor with flywheels and drive to both bogies. Bodyshells are accurately detailed, incorporating details from photographic evidence, providing the best possible model of these long-scrapped prototype locomotives.
This model is painted in the early plain brunswick green livery.

Heljan OO Brush/Hawker Siddeley HS4000 KESTREL Prototype Diesel Locomotive (4000)

A new limited edition prototype locomotive model from Heljan Production 4,000 models.

The Brush/Hawker Siddeley 4000bhp prototype locomotive HS4000 Kestrel, once the most powerful diesel locomotive in the world, available in OO gauge RTR for the first time!

Driven by a powerful motor mounted centrally in a heavy diecast chassis Heljan have provided a model powerplant equal to the task of replicating the Kestrel. The bodyshell with many pre-fitted detail parts captures the unique sculpted curves of the real locomotive, making it a stylish feature among the fleet of boxy production diesels.

Kestrel undertook trials on the most challenging routes, including the Lickey grade. Following limited service with British Rail Kestrel was sold to Russia and remained in service on international services for many years.

Heljan OO BRCW Lion Prototype Type 4 Locomotive (4005)

Lion was a prototype demonstrator locomtoive built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon company at Smethwick, Birmingham in 1962 in response to BR's specification for its new standard type 4 diesel electric locomotive. Equipped with the Sulzer 12LDA engine set at 2,750bhp and electrical equipment by AEI, both companys products already familiar to British Rails' technical staff. The body styling followed the BR design panels' model painted in a striking white livery with gold bodyside stripes, rail observers reporting the sighting of a 'giant albino Hymek' due to the similarity to the Beyer Peacock locomotives' body design when observing Lion on test before official information was released.

Clearly from the basic design and engine configuration when compared to the other type 4 prototypes Lion was the prototype for the class 47 locomotives still familiar to rail enthusiasts today. Sadly however a lack of on-going orders put BRCW in financial difficulties by the early 1960s and Lion's service life was short, as it was scrapped in November 1963 while the BRCW company assets were liquidated. BR had to turn to BRCW's competitor Brush Traction, builders of the twin Maybach engined Falcon, for the class 47 build.

Heljans locomotives are powered by a motor with twin flywheels set centrally in a heavy diecast chassis and driving all six axles. This provides excellent running even at slow speeds and plenty of train-haulage capability. Bodyshells are, wherever possible, manufactured following the origianl design drawings, augmented by the photographic records of the actual locomotive to identify modifications and detail changes. A pack of optional parts is usually supplied, allowing models to be further detailed to suit requirements.

Remember! Antics price includes mainland UK delivery for Heljan locomotives.

Bachmann OO BR D3986 Class 08 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter Green with Wasp Stripes (32-116A)

Diesel locomotives first appeared on shunting duties in the 1930s and the 300/350bhp English Electric engine in a solidly constructed outside framed 0-6-0 design locomotive quickly proved to be the most versatile for a general purpose shunting engine.

British Railways combined the experience of the four railway companies, producing this sturdy heavy shunting engine, later known as class 08, many of these locomotives are still serving Britains railways today.

This model of D3986 is painted in the BR green livery of the 1950s and 60s with wasp stripe ends to improve the visibility of the diesel locos.

DCC Ready. 8-pin decoder required for DCC operation. Note that a small type decoder is required due to the limited height inside the body.

Hornby OO BR Class 08 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter Green DCC Sound (R2977XS)

Due to the popularity of the first sound-equiped class 08 shunter announced Hornby have scheduled a second green liveried model for December release.

The factory-fitted sound system is particularly wlecome on the 08 as these small locomotives can be difficult to fit with a DCC decoder and making space for the larger sound decoder and speakers can be challenging. Hornby solve the problems in one locomotive at the sort of price you might pay for a sound system alone!
The long lives of these shunting engines will make them an excellent addition to the fleet of sound-fitted locomotives for both steam and diesel enthusiasts.

Remember! Antics price includes mainland UK delivery for your new locomotive.

Heljan OO BR D5902 Class 23 Baby Deltic Bo-Bo Locomotive Green Small Warning Panels (2305)

The 'Baby Deltic' was a partially successful attempt to use the Deltic engine, which was proving highly successful in the class 55 express passenger locomotives, in a smaller locomotive. Built with the typical EE nose end body styling the locomotives quite resembled the larger locomotives. Although the class 23s proved powerful and capable locomotives the Deltic power units were not well suited to the start-stop routine of suburban railway service. A review of locomotive performance by BR as a prelude to concentrating on fewer, more standard locomotive classes under the National Traction Plan brought the Baby Deltics' lives to an end in the early 1970s.

Heljan locomotives are powered by a centrally mounted motor surrounded by a heavy diecast chassis block driving both bogies. This mechanism provides smooth running and excellent train haulage capabilities.

This model D5902 carries the BR green livery with small yellow warning panels.

Bachmann OO BR D9014 The Duke fo Wellingtons' Regiment Class 55 Deltic Locomotive Two-Tone Green (32-529A)

The East Coast route has been famous as the fastest route to Scotland since the Victorian era. Seeking suitable replacements for Sir Nigel Gresleys' pacific type steam locomotives BRs' Eastern region were inpressed with the performance of the English Electric Deltic prototype.

22 of these production Deltic locomotives were built, painted in this striking two-tone green livery. These charismatic locomotives quickly gained their own following after the end of steam and Bachmanns' model captures the high set lines of the body. Inside a powerful motor sits in a heavy diecast frame with drive to both bogies delivering the stunning acceleration and speed for which the Deltics were renown.

This model of D9014 is painted in the BR two-tone green livery of the 1960s.

DCC Ready. 21-pin decoder required for DCC operation.

Bachmann OO BR E3058 Type AL5 Class 85 Electric Locomotive Electric Blue Twin Pantographs (31-676)

New model announced 2010. Delivery to be advised.

One of the early designs of 25kV electric locomotives for the West Coast mainline electrification the AL5 type was built by BR works at Doncaster. Later calssified 85 under the TOPS system these were robust and reliable locomotives which had long service lives. Surviving the initial purge of less satisfactory types when the 'second generation' class 87s were built class 85s could still be found in charge of West Coast expresses until the late 1980s.
One of the classic British electric locomotives the 85 will be at home alongside the class 86, 87 and 90 locomotives available from Hornby and Heljan. Hopefully a model of the equally long-lived English Electric AL1/class 81 will follow and maybe the less successful 82, 83 and 84 classes to complete the fleet.

This model is presented in the classes' original condition with two pantographs and painted in the striking electric blue livery.
DCC Ready. 21-pin decoder required for DCC operation.

Hornby OO BR (SR) 1969 Brighton Belle Pullman Train Pack Blue & Grey DCC Onboard (R2988x)

Release postponed until 2012.

1969 Brighton Belle train pack containing the two Pullman driving motor cars, one powered. Additonal Brighton Belle Pullman trailer cars are also available to recreate the full 5-car train.

This pack will contain unit number 3053, comprising car S292S and car S293S (powered) painted in the British Railways Pullman blue and grey livery.

The Brighton Belle was a named train which operated between London Victoria and Brighton and was the first electric all Pullman service in the World. The service commenced in June 1934 and continued until withdrawal in April 1972, however the service was suspended during the Second World War. There were three 5 car units designated 5BEL which were specially built for the service and were able to travel in 60 minutes the 51 miles between London and Brighton without stopping. Recently under the patronage of The Transport Trust a group was formed to restore a 5BEL unit into a fully working and operating train. Their goal is to have the train ready and in service by the London 2012 Olympics, a goal which is well within their grasp. The stunningly elegant Hornby model initially produced in two distinctive livery periods captures perfectly the opulence and style of the Brighton Belle Pullman. Each Car is lit and complete with detailed interior.

Heljan OO E79962 Waggon und Maschinenbau 4-Wheel Railbus Dark Green (8701)

New model from Heljan. Expected Spring 2011.

British Railways experimented with 4-wheeled railbus cars from a number of builders in the late 1950s. The German railways had achieved great success with these lightweight, fuel efficient railcars, providing efficient passenger service on remote branch lines with a minimum crew. The single car required a driver and guard, who could also act as conductor, collecting fares. This allowed station staffing to be reduced, trying to bring the costs back in line with the takings.

Purchased from German builders Waggon und Maschinenbau these cars were generally similar to the railbuses operated by the German railways. This model of E79962 will be painted in the later dark green livery, retaining speed whisker stripes.

Bachmann OO Class 105 Cravens 2-Car DMU Green Small Yellow Panels (31-327)

The Class 105 Cravens diesel multiple unit will reflect the same standard of engineering excellence as its predecessor, the Class 108, which has enjoyed unprecedented popularity.

This model will be painted in the revised green livery with small yellow warning panels, introduced to make the new and quiet runnign diesel units more visible to track workers.

Bachmann OO BR Class 105 Cravens 2-Car DMU Green with Speed Whiskers (31-326A)

New numbered models announced 2011 Constructed by Sheffield train builders Cravens in response to BR orders for diesel multiple units the class 105 units had a distinctive 2-window front end. The Cravens were quickly pressed into suburban service around London, a service for which the design had not been intended, but proved highly successful. Although the design was not perpetuated Cravens built a quality product and the units ran into the 1980s, outlasting many other builders' trains. One 2-car set is preserved, having delivered many more years of reliable service in preservation and with a secure future ahead.

This model is painted in the original DMU green livery with speed whisker nose stripes.

Bachmann OO BR Class 105 Power Twin Diesel Multiple Unit Train BR Green with Speed Whiskers (31-536)

New version of the Cravens 105 units announced 2011.

Constructed by Sheffield train builders Cravens in response to BR orders for diesel multiple units the class 105 units had a distinctive 2-window front end.

Sets were built as 2-car units with one driving motor car and one driving trailer car and 3-car units, with two driving motor cars, one with a guards' van, flanking a trailer car. The central trailer cars were later dispensed with, converting the 3-car sets into 2-car sets with both cars powered. These 'power twin' sets offered a better power-to-weight ratio than the standard sets, very useful on routes with difficult gradients. Although the Cravens design was not perpetuated the company had built a quality product and the units ran into the 1980s, outlasting many other builders' trains.

This model is one of the power-twin sets painted in the BR DMU green livery of the 1950s with speed whisker end details.

Bachmann OO BR Derby Lightweight DMU 2-Car Unit Green with Speed Whiskers (32-516)

New model announced 2010! Bachmann Bulletin November 2011 states; 'likely to go into production shortly'.

The Derby Lightweight units were among the first types of diesel multiple unit to enter widespread service on British Railways in the 1950s. Making full use of the modern aluminium materials to craete a lightweight coach body the units could easily be propelled by compact but low-powered diesel engines being produced for buses. The design was a classic in styling, although more familiar today the use of all-round glazing, open-plan seating and the ability to see through the drivers' cabins were novel features.

Luckily, due to use by the engineering and research sections of BR, one of these units has survived, revealing the remarkably innovative construction and use of materials.

This unit will be painted in the BR green livery with speed whisker lining.

Bachmann OO BR Class 419 MLV Motor Luggage Van Green with Yellow Warning Panel (31-266)

New model announced 2011

The motor luggage vans were created to provide luggage capacity for the newly electrified boat train services. Electrically compatible with the Southern regions' EMU trains the luggage vans had the added feature of battery power, allowing the van to move onto the non-electrified dockside sidings to transfer passenger luggage directly to the ship loading conveyors. When running on the 3rd rail these vans can also haul a trailing load, resulting in occasional use to power parcels trains and at least one railtour!

This model will be painted in the Southern EMU green livery with yellow warning panels on the ends.

Heljan OO BR D84xx NBL Class 16 Bo-Bo Diesel Locomotive (1600)

Heljan OO BR D84xx NBL Class 16 Bo-Bo Diesel Locomotive (1601)

New model announced 2012

Completing the Heljan range of BR pilot scheme type 1 locomoitves is the North British design type 1, intended to become BR class 16.

Fitted with the same Paxman engine and using the same off-centre cab 'road switcher' arrangement, commonly used in the US for general purpose locomotives, the design was very similar to the BTH class 15. The class 16s had a far more characterful appearance, the engine hoods appearing to be festooned with grilles and vents.

Sadly, even though the similar class 15s secured a small order for BTH, in the NBL design form certainly didn't follow function. The type shared all the faults of the design (eg. visibilty) and engine (complexity and unreliability) with the class 15s, but then added a slew of their own faults. Even the concentration of both classes at Stratford shed, where fitters rapidly became familiar with the Paxman engines' foibles, failed to improve the NBL designs' reliability and the class was quietly withdrawn.
