Detailed Description
Known to many as the "Baby Rustons", these small diesel locomotives were used in various goods yards and industrial areas. They are ideal for all sorts of operations from shunting to hauling small goods services. A 'must have’ for modellers of industrial scenes but will also be suitable for BR era main line layouts and preservation sites, where many of the survivors now reside.

Customers praised this O gauge locomotive as "a beauty" with "amazing detail and finish." The model runs smoothly and quietly, perfect for micro layouts and shunting. One customer noted defects including a bent buffer and broken cab lever, disappointing given the price. Most found it excellent value under £100.

Very pleased with this Loco which runs well and has a nice weight , very good value and will buy from you again.
Well packed and arrived quickly & safely.
Solid little shunter for micro layout
Perfect micro layout project loco
My third Ruston 48ds and it's another beauty. It drives great, just like the other 2. Going to weather it and add a driver.
Really heavy and great size for building first micro layout
Bought this to paint it, such a great loco
Nice little model with metal body and preparation for sound decoder.
I was able to run it in on a rolling road and then gave it a good work out on a large outdoor layout. It worked very well and pulled the train load of wagons with ease.
Another top value 0 gauge loco. Really suits a bit of grime.
A lovely little loco that has refuelled my plan to build a little shunting layout. Due to the metal chassis it's quite heavy too considering its size.
A great model with very good running qualities, just out of the box it was able to crawl on the track. It got even better after running it in. And for the price I just couldn't resist ;-)
Lovely small locomotive
Great item, so good this is my second I have purchased
Superb model, with plenty of weight and pulling power. Finely detailed and a smooth and silent runner. Highly recommended.
Cracking little model.
Excellent - thank you
Excellent model ,excellent price & fast delivery 👍👍👍👍👍
Overall a nice model.
Runs cleanly and quietly out of the box.
However the only downside is this also came with a bent buffer and a broken/snapped control lever inside the cab.
It’s disappointing paying so much money only for it to have these defects.
The DS 48 loco is a beauty, looks and runs sweet. Amazing detail and finish. Lovely.
My wife thinks she, the locomotive is cute too.
Your service and order system was good, easy to use and super fast delivery.
Much appreciated.
Great tiny o gauge loco. Runs fine over Peco set track points. Just right for a mini shunting layout
Very fine model. Delivery to Germany was fast in five days and without any trouble and addional import taxes.
Very nice model !
Very great model !
Very great model !
This was the Second Ruston 48 I’ve received from Heljan UK and like the first one wonderful model have made a custom DCC sound file to suit and they just are amazing little models
A great little runner. Well pleased.
Will you be bringing the class 33 0 gauge locomotives back?
