Very nice model. Detailed to a high standard. Runs quiet and smooth.
Another great model, great paintwork and finished details, at a great price, well done again Heljan
By far the best model i seen so good i went back and bought another locomotive detailing is amazing 👏
Lovely little loco, in sensible sized packaging that doesn't take up loads of room. The buffer beams seem a little out of vertical to me, but look as though they unscrew and a little packing might correct this. Otherwise assembled and decorated very neatly. Running quality good.
Good model. This is my second. Easy to fit DCC sound, but use an additional speaker and stay alive if you can. Directional lighting is weak an needs improvement.
Good set of wagons, with lots of small detail and nicely packaged.
One step broken off in the box. Detail of the model is fantastic, I think this has made me consider a scale change. Damn you Heljan! 😁 very happy with it.
Good looking, heavy (I mean heavy!) engine. Bought on a whim with the Heljan price drop and it was great value. Really heavy loco so you have to be very careful when handling as bits will come off if gripped hard (I broke off a white pipe assembly above a bogie and had to re-fix, also a cabside handrail is dislodged I notice!).
The one thing I've found running the model is that it exposes even the slightest track defect on curves with the leading wheels often coming off due to twist faults on my 1% curved inclines.
I bought the analogue DC version and it has impressive slow speed control - the red tail lights illuminate at the leading end which is a bit annoying.
Overall a very good addition to my fleet which I am very happy with.
Admired these from afar for a while, then one day something flipped in my head, and before I knew it, I was the proud owner of a rake of four 1960s ESSO class B oil wagons! My small-ish layout is perhaps not the obvious place for them - but they look so good! So it's strictly modellers' rule #1!
Detailing, proportions, finish and running qualities are very good indeed. Behind my diesel-electric class 73, or BR Standard tank they get a LOT of positive comment down the model rail club. All I need to do now is build an oil refinery...! Plus a WAY longer layout - so I can buy another 8 at least!
The price is already very fair for the quality on offer, but the multi-buy discount is the icing on the cake. Excellent!
Well these are just lovely. I was in two minds about buying a rake oil tanks as I thought I'd rarely run them on my small-ish layout (pic).
Then they arrived - and they are gorgeous - so I inevitably invent excuses to run them anyway!
As ever detailing, scaling, fit and finish are superlative - they're really nice things to admire, and to run. The four wagon rake looks great behind my class 73, or 3MT tank - and now I need to build a refinery of some kind... And a MUCH longer track so I can buy a load more!
The multi-buy discount is great too, too. So-- TL;DR: - I'm chuffed!
Well these are just lovely. I was in two minds about buying oil tankers as I imagined I'd rarely run them because my layout is a tad small.
...Aaaaand then they arrived! And they are gorgeous, and so I inevitably invent an excuse to run them anyway. Er... Rule 1.
As always (IME) the detailing, scaling, fit and finish are superlative - they're just really nice things to behold and to run. A four wagon rake looks great behind my class 73, or 3MT tank - and now I need to build a petrochem plant of some kind...
The multi-buy discount is very worthwhile, too. Very pleased indeed all-told.
Excellent quality and service quick delivery many thanks
