In response to requests from O gauge modellers, the new batch includes unnumbered BR Blue and Large Logo Blue locomotives, unbranded Railfreight Sector grey and Cornish china clay favourite 37196 Tre Pol and Pen in mid-1980s Railfreight Large Logo grey. New liveries include BR General grey and the much-requested InterCity ‘Swift’ livery applied to Scottish sleeper locomotives in the early 1990s. For post-privatisation era modellers, also included is 37248 in West Coast Railways red and a Network Rail yellow Class 97/3. 

Also featured in this new run of models is an exclusive special edition for Tower Models decorated in the popular mid-1990s Transrail Grey/Yellow livery.

As with the split headcode models, there is a wide range of detail variations across the different liveries, including three alternative nose end arrangements, cast or fabricated bogies, high-intensity headlights, NRN radio aerials, steam heating equipment and different underframe tanks for locomotives with or without steam heating boilers.

The models also feature an all-new bespoke body with improved grille, window and windscreen detail.

All models will be supplied DCC Ready with Heljan’s new standard ‘plug and play’ decoder interface and lighting features, details and functions.
