Lovely model, captures the character of these versatile AC locos superbly. And at a bargain price!
Delightfully applied livery with exquisite detail and a wealth of features makes for a superb model of this electro diesel class
Very nice model, lots of lighting features, shame the speakers were not pre-fitted as described, but at least they were supplied with the model for fitting later on.
The model looks really good and was a really good price. I have tested to make sure it works, but so far have been unable to test properly. Am waiting for a decoder to arrive, but have no concerns about the product.
Really good value locomotive. After running in runs nice and smoothly, ESU sound file adds great realism
This model is just superb, I cannot fault the appearance of the model and the price paid was the icing on the cake. It’s not been run yet as it needs adaptation to dcc but all very good so far. Speed of service also was 1st class. Well done Heljan!
Loverly loco, runs like a dream, I just need to give it a good weathering to finish it off.
Great model in '0' gauge. The van is a great model.
Probably the most smooth-running and responsive OO-gauge model I have ever seen. Works faultlessly at slow speed over all pointwork without any loss of power over short dead sections. Captures the essence of the diminutive prototype really well.
Great service, quick delivery and with the discount it was an even better deal
Nice model, good value for money. Heavily weighted so it runs smoothly without stalling despite only having four wheels available for pick up.
Cracking dound loco at a good price through spinning the wheel.
I’ve bought five of the Class 47/57 models, including three during the recent £99.99 offer. I know this particular model is subject to some pedantic criticism, but to the everyday modeller they are excellent value for money. Sturdy motor, with plenty of pulling power and lots of detail. I’m very happy with my purchases and might even get another!
A cute little engine, just what I needed for those trip freights on my small layout. It runs smoothly and at a realistically slow speed without stalling.
Fantastic piece of kit. I've still a lot to learn and pick up but i'm really impressed.
Cracking little model, ran faultlessly straight out of the box at a slow speed too.
Lovely model and great value.
L9ve the plough fixing and prefitted pipes
As the class 47 was an older model it was not fixed to a wooden plinth (like newer models)
So unfortunately arrived with a broken buffer and under frame part broken, once parts glued back on, the model looked good.
Brilliant service regarding delivery following an order going missing, when the tankers finally arrived I was amazed at how well constructed and detailed they were.
I was already familiar with Heljan tankers previously but at these new prices I found them irresistible so I bought 3.
Excellent- easy to give a full 5 star rating
A good model but it is let down by sloppy painting and fitting of clear parts. I am sure that these will improve under Accurascale's attention and I look forward to seeing future models.
OK, I know the body isn't correct, but with painting and weathering (for example a black line along the bottom of the bodyside on plain versions), the look is much improved. This red stripe on this version has the same effect. Apart from that, the build quality and detail is good, and it's a heavy hauler. The sound files are also pretty good, although it did benefit from a better quality speaker which vastly improved the sound reproduction. All in all however, for a budget 47, it's a no brainer - grab one while you can.
On the outside the model looks very convincing. However, the model is let down by the presence of traction tyres on each driving bogie. These impact smooth running. Secondly, the central kinematic coupling has a great big amount of play. A large gap appears between the two vehicles when in motion.
