Class 122 - Regional Railways - 55012 - TT Scale

Looks very good. Good middle and fast runner, regretably bad slow runner !

What can I say, after a long wait for this model...
The Weight seems absolutely lovley for the size of this model.
The Paint work is absolutely crisp and clean, the fine UV delcals are spot on!
Internal cab details are picked out very well.
Space insode for Driver and Passengers, legless, but thats more than fine. The quality and look of this model is beautiful. That alone would be 5*
Sadly the running, thats not good at all! I have the option to return and fix / replace. But me being me... I wanted to know if i was correct for why its so poor.

A gearing issue, limits low speed contol and movemtn without a jump and jittering, gears seem to get stuck as a set point and section, either direction, on a straight or curve.
I have replaced a ew gears and now at its lowest voltage with all working lights in DC it runs smooth and lovely. A nice craw and great top speed. A fair bit faster than it should be at scale speed i believe. But now very nice.
This is not something I recommend people doing, you will void any warranties.

But I like to look and invstigae to understand why.

Sad, it was needed on a brand new first step in to the gauge.
However, dont let it put you off.

Get yourself one, any should you experience an issue contact Heljan and they will help you.
My views are my own, there are a number of vidoe reviews showing the issue I have said.

I do know believe this post will be posted or even stay up for long. But I cannot lie on a review. I believe all views should be seen, th good and the bad.

Very well detailed DMU and a must have for any DMU fan . Can’t wait for maybe more versions to come out . Beautiful paint job and even underside looks amazing. Attention to detail is fabulous thank you Heljan for making the brave move into TT

Excellent Bubble Car. The detailing is impressive and these are great value for money. Would love a 3 car 117 from Heljan next to run with this!

Brilliant looking model, nicely weighted and runs well at medium to high speeds. However it is very stuttery at low speeds.
I shall give itt an oil and another run and hopefully that will cure the issue

A total pile of poo. Tooling excellent. But why use a E24 decoder,the worse decoder on the planet. Im considering cancelling my deltic as that's having the same.

The loco is really nice looking. Haven’t run it yet as waiting for next 18 adapter. It is a shame the two didn’t come togeather

Looks fantastic.Excellent attention to detail.Have the same problem as other people ie the slow speed running.Apart from that its a great little model.

needed fettleling just to run in poor construction and mech choices heljans new owners should of just gone back to the drawing board. i expected better the firm is abel to do better, i do not recommend

Lovely model, very detailed and runs really well after being run in both directions on DC. Hopefully a version with centre Headlight will be produced in a future run.

Well detailed and good value for money. Running well now fitted with Zimo sound decoder and stay alive.

Unfortunately my model doesn't perform at all well at slow speeds, very noisy motor and jerks.
The small wheels are noisy on the track. I understand that mine isn't alone with these problems.
I have a Deltic on order and am wondering if I should cancel or give it a chance?

I am absolutely thrilled!
A truly great model with lots of details.
The ordering process was straightforward, fast, and entirely in German.
The price is fantastic, with no markups from middlemen.

Excellent model, nicely detailed. Wonderful livery that reminds me of my childhood
