Much smaller gap between the bogies and body than the peak from the other manufacturer which makes it a much better looking model IMHO. The rest of the detail is probably better too. This is my 3rd Heljan peak and just as delighted as I was with the first 2.
Overall an excellent model works perfectly. The one minor fault was a buffer had been broken off. Luckily I was able to repair it
Superb looking loco and it performs really well. I've found the Heljan locomotives are more forgiving of any track imperfections which can be useful!
A great little locomotive. I needed a small loco to shunt wagons around my Heljan turntable and this fits the bill perfectly. I fitted a DCC decoder and it's low speed running is spot on. All I need now is a suitable driver.
Excellent model, very well finished right down to the little details. I would highly recommend it
Very smooth runner. Coped with my 2nd radius curves and dodgy points way better than expected with all those wheels!
TO BE HONEST I HAVE SIMPLY NOT HAD TIME TO UNPACK THE MODEL SINCE DELIVEERY BUT WHAT I HAVE SEEN IT LOOKS FANTASTIC.
Very nice detail on these medium tankers even on a basic livery version.
Bought to try difference between this and medium cube speaker.
No comparison did what it says and thrashed the other speaker
Definitely worth the upgrade and VFM
Lovely Little Loco, great details and a smooth runner.
Very impressive model, runs well, very smart packaging. No complaints at all.
These continue to run without problems. Great detailing, bargain prices and quality packaging.
Recommended.
Have been using these now for over a month and am impressed - particularly considering the bargain price. Pleased that the boxes for these wagons is also of very high quality.
Very happy with my purchase - very well derailed & runs perfectly out of the box. Bargain at £99.
A great little runner, at under £100 & predominantly metal build I'll be letting the grandson drive it.
It's the perfect introduction to model railways & competes favourably with the usual oo gauge Thomas the tank engine.
Perfectly applied livery, fantastic runner, it doesn't even notice 20+ wagons behind it.
Something of a bargain at current prices.
A reasonably-priced faithful rendering of a much loved prototype. Plenty of scope for customisation and detailing - all the basics look 'right'. Can't comment on haulage yet, but it started straight from the box and conveys the bulk of the originals! Any chance of a '40'?
What a wonderful little loco. Good detail, particularly liking the inside of the cab. At current prices a bargain.
Superb detail & excellent runner. The substantial weight of it gives it a real presence.
Superb detail, and just the job for an upgrade of one of my Mk 1 coaches. The improvement was so dramatic that I'll be ordering more. Highly recommended.
