Got this for a steal of a price as I won a 30% discount and so bundled it with an 'O' gauge loco. This 47 has great cab and lights detailing and functions .. I have added a 21-pin hornby sound decoder and it sounds great using the built-in speakers!
Very realistic looking figure just right for the little diesel shunters
Sometimes Heljan get a little derided, but my experience has always been positive. This DMU is a great looker, great runner and as always boxed like it matters
Fabulous! It's this kind of model and pricing that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with OO gauge!
I purchased one of these about a week ago and it's such a splendid little loco and the paintwork and presentation is outstanding, so I've just bought 2 more! If you have a small O gauge layout, these Ruston 88DS are perfect. I'm fast moving towards having 20 Heljan locos from all different Classes.
This is a brilliant little loco, runs smoothly and very quietly in both directions, typical of what we have become used to with Heljan models. I would strongly recommend this model.
Excellent quick service from purchase to despatch. Order one day - get it the next!
Couldn't be better.
Great little loco. Good sound . Well packed and seedy delivery
Not had a chance to run it yet More concerned about my pre order of a class 25 which I’ve paid for and is supposed to be delivered by now Is it delayed due the Middle East problems
The **** couplings were exactly what I needed to replace those on my class 31
These buffers are perfect for adding to my o gauge 3d printed wagons, they are a great priced and great quality
Adequate in cab but finish not great.
Both hands snapped off when unpacking.
Perhaps the print should be thicker around the wrists
