45144 Royal Signals (BR Blue FYE)
At first glance, 45144 appears to be a standard Class 45/1 of the 1980s. Look closer, however, and you'll spot one of its most unusual features – a distinctive black roof.
Named after the famous British Army communications regiment, the locomotive received this eye-catching treatment as part of a rededication ceremony in 1985, alongside white tyre highlights. Presented in mid-1980s condition, the model features ETH equipment, sealed-beam nose ends and air-brake modifications, accurately capturing this unique member of the class.

This model locomotive receives exceptional praise for its performance and value. Customers said it "runs like a dream" with excellent detailing and strong haulage capability. The £99 price point is consistently highlighted as outstanding value. Minor issues noted include cab window accuracy and difficulty removing factory detailing for coupling fitting.
Lovely model great detail and runs well.
Excellent loco at an excellent price. Runs like a dream and the detailing is brilliant. It is now part of my front line fleet on my garden railway
Great model
Another peak performer. Lovely decoration and strong haulage. Slight niggle with the factory applied detailing in that it’s not easy to remove without breaking to fit couplings but fine otherwise.
As will the previous purchases no issues with the locomotive
Great price quick delivery as well
Superb runner. Excellently model good value for money.
I cannot argue with the price. £99 for a modern spec locomotive is just perfect.
It's a shame that the cab front windows are completely wrong but as said above, for the price, I can overlook that.
Fitting a Loksound decoder was a doddle as was the speaker. It looks fine running round my garden with 9 coaches in tow.
Hopefully we can expect far more accurate models from Heljan in the future.
I like the floating bogie within a bogie like the Kernow models Bulleid diesel. A very good design for the 1CO-CO1 00 gauge bogie.
