Detailed Description
The British Railways Class 58 diesel locomotives were introduced in 1983 for heavy freight work. Built by British Rail Engineering Limited at Doncaster, they used a modular, bodiless design with removable engine and equipment rafts to simplify maintenance.
Powered by a Ruston-Paxman RK3 engine, they delivered 3,300 horsepower and became synonymous on MGR coal trains. Following freight sector reorganisation and the arrival of newer types, the Class 58s, then under the umbrella of EWS were withdrawn by 2002, many finding second lives overseas with private operators abroad.

This O Scale Class 58 locomotive delivers "excellent value for money" with superb running quality and faultless livery application. Customers praised its impressive weight, detailed finish, and smooth operation in both directions. The model makes O gauge accessible at a "phenomenal price," ideal for hobbyists returning to the scale or starting out.
O gauge used to be the preserve of the rich & wealthy.
Not anymore!
This class 58 represents excellent value for money but better still, it is an excellent model.
The running quality is superb, the livery application faultless.
What is not to like?
Highly recommended.
Fantastic model just needs the Railfreight graphic moving to make it 58020 with the striking BREL nameplate but perfect for any of the named first 35 of the class.
Great model at a great price, Have been out of the hobby for 20 years as had to scratch build anything in my era and scale which i didnt have time to do.I was enticed back in recently by another manufacturers low price on a few small loco's.
Acurrascale's aquisition of Heljan is fantastic for those starting out or wanting to get back into the hobby with a large loco without breaking the bank.
Great detailing, great runner, and at this price i might even consider looking at DCC
Great loco, really impressive and weighty
Excellent loco at a brilliant price,many thanks
an excellent representation for the price of a 'bone'
Great looking loco at a phenomenal price. Well done to all the staff. Great work guys.
Stunning model , Very good runner in both directions and very nice paint finish , Overall, I would recommend this model to anyone who wants to buy a class 58. You will not be disappointed.
