New BR Mk1 coaches with Commonwealth/B4 bogies

In response to public demand for coaching stock to complement recent O gauge locomotives such as the Class 37/4 and Class 50, and our forthcoming Class 31/4 and Class 47, Heljan have tooled two new bogie types - the Commonwealth and B4. These will be deployed first under a new selection of BR Mk1 coaches in Network SouthEast, InterCity, Regional Railways and BR blue/grey livery.

They will also make the bogies available separately in pairs, enabling customers to exchange bogies on existing Heljan Mk1s. Tooling is complete and final alterations and improvements are now being made before production starts. These models should be available in late-2019 or early-2020. 

The coaches will all be produced fully branded but without running numbers. Prices will be announced shortly. 

Network SouthEast - TSO, SK, BSK, FK

InterCity - TSO, BSK, RMB, FK, BG

Regional Railways - TSO, FK, BSK
