Perfect for my model collection, good detail, well packed, good service, thank you.😊
Its a fine detailed model. Unfortunately it doesn’t run well and rocks when moving forward.
A beautiful model of the BR Blue era Class 86 aka EE AL6 overhead electric locomotive. Wonderfully painted, and printed with fine detailing. Worth the bargain price I've purchased it for under £100 and with my loyalty points reducing the price even more. It features works lights, and Character Head Code panels with posable Pantograph. It runs very smoothly after its initial running in period of 30 minutes in each direction. Definitely worth 5 Stars from the Heljan brand that was merged into and is now under ownership by Accurascale.
The detail on these wagons is very good, i'm not sure why there are still so many left on the website, they even have suspension that works!
These a great intro into O gauge for a good price.
These are at a much more reasonable price
Great value for money, I haven't started building this yet but looks good.
It is a very nice loco and runs very well although the sound quality could be better. Other sound fitted locos that I have purchased recently, from the likes of Bachmann and Accurascale, have had excellent sound due, no doubt, to the installation of premium speakers. However, apart from that, I am very pleased with this Class 47..
It’s very yellow. 🤣. But seriously it’s a really nice model highly recommend this version. I have a few 73 now and this is up there with the others 10/10. Well played Heljan.
Excellent, just one wheel guard loose but glued on. Thanks
Despite the bad press for this locomotive, it runs really well, hauling power is very good and for the price is good value for money.
First the bad news... Model arrived with a detached buffer which looking at the packaging may not be a surprise as whilst the sides and bottom of the model are well protected, Heljan cheaped out on the box size and as a consequence there is little protection at both ends. Adequate but not outstanding.
Otherwise this is a completely brilliant model. Solid and detail is good enough . Motor is extremely quiet and the running is smooth and best of all and despite the bogie length, it goes faultlessly around my dodgy 2nd and 3rd radius trackwork. Indeed at present the scores on the doors are Heljan 3 ( class 33,45 47) - Accurascale 1 (class 37 - and only that because it goes round 3rd radius in one direction but not the other.... Curious!. Accurascale class 50 . Wont run . Im sure its because of the fine scale wheels and a stiff centre axle. Thus sloppy axles work on crappy track. . Now whilst i wont be binning my Accurascale beauties there is something to be said for the more agricultural approach of Heljan sometimes and given the bargain prices this model like others is a no brainer!
It runs like a dream which is the main part. Delivery time excellent. The only reason this doesn't get 4 stars is, it came with a buffer off found rattling in box and had to glue it back into place. Lots of details on this model,pipes etc already fitted but mutch more in the accessories bag. Great price
I now have 4 of these and they are great models with very good detail.
Great model at a wonderful price, if this isn't the best intro into O gauge then I don't know what is
Beautifully detailed and great facsimile of the real bit of rolling stock looks great and runs freely and smoothly 👍
This loco has a beautiful ain't scheme that it executed really well. It has some fabulous detail and at this price range that is absolutely amazing. Only thing that slightly spoils the illusion is the cab floor however it's not horrendous and when you consider the size of the loco it's a more than fair trade off.
Cracking little loco well detailed and now at a realistic price
Excellent, direct fit to the Heljan O gauge, only fitted a couple at the moment but bought enough to do 3 rakes of 8 coaches and some for the loco’s too. For me a lot easier to use.
