With a heavy die-cast chassis the extra weight of a Heljan locomotive is apparent as soon as it's picked up. This, plus a powerful 5 pole motor, gives a very good haulage capacity - up to 15 coaches on level track. Add in excellent body detailing and a pack of separate optional parts to customise the loco for track work, or simply show, and you've got an excellent model.

All Heljan loco’s are UK carriage paid to mainland UK addresses!
