Heljan announces a new batch of O gauge Class 50s

In response to feedback from customers, the company is producing further quantities of the refurbished BR blue and standard large logo blue locomotives (with grey roof), but also adding the much-requested large logo variation with a black roof, as applied to some of the most popular members of the class in the 1980s.

Completing a trio of large logo ‘Vacs’ will be fully numbered, named and weathered 50036 Victorious in final condition with red bufferbeams and NSE flashes.  

They will also fill a gap in the Network SouthEast story with a model in the early light blue variant of revised NSE livery. Heljan will also cater for the departmental scene with a fully numbered, named and heavily weathered model of DCWA pool stalwart 50019 Ramillies in ‘Laira blue’ with grey roof and cabside numbers.

Finally, following the success of the GB Railfreight ‘50’, KMS Railtech has commissioned a rerun of 50049 Defiance in its current livery and, for the first time, GBRf 50007 Hercules in its current split identity guise (numbered on one side as 50014 Warspite). For further information on these two exclusive editions, please see www.kmsrailtech.co.uk.

All models will have the same technical specification as the first batch of Class 50s and suggested retail price. Delivery is expected in mid-2021. All versions are being produced in limited quantities so early ordering is recommended to avoid disappointment. For pricing and availability, contact your local Heljan stockist.
