Remember it being housed in the transfer warehouse next to orsall lane jn in manchester when i first started on the railway, they used it to shunt cargowaggons iirc

 

Does it come with the bucket on the exhaust as per the picture?

Maybe they could consider doing the yellow one from Peak Forest to go with their I.C.I. hoppers?

[71H]

And about time too.

 

I've waited years for someone to do an RTR 07.

 

All I need now is for someone to make a 4-tc and a 4-REP and I'll be as happy as a pig in poo.

Presumably 07001 carried HNRC Orange livery between 1989 (when it was purchased by HNRC) and 2012 (when it was sold to the Heritage Shunters Trust).  Rail Express indicated that this shunter was on hire to Mayer Parry’s Snailwell scrapyard (1989-1993), where it acted as yard shunter, and Creative Logistics at Salford (2001-2009).  (see http://www.railexpress.co.uk/news/heritage-shunters-trust-acquires-pioneer-07).

 

I suppose that a repaint into HNRC Orange was probably most likely in 1993 and it seemed to still carry that livery into 2013, even if it has apparently been repainted since.  Although it was clearly working in the Manchester area during my favored time period, come 2017 I may have a "just suppose it was hired elsewhere theme".

Will it have the extra body side box & grilles and pipe runs evident in the photo?

I worked on this shunter quite a few times for Harry and she carried her Peak Forest yellow livery for a long time under his ownership, she worked at Mayer Parry in this livery. She got her HNRC livery early in 2000 before going to Salford in 2001

Hi all,

 

I'm sure the majority of you have seen the first samples of Heljan's 07 either on here or at Warley. We received the blank colour layouts and have prepared these for our exclusive release in HNRC livery. As ever, they're now available to review below. For such a small locomotive they are crammed with detail and in its unique livery (for the class) even the chevrons are different to standard liveries!  These have been produced from many images of the locomotive as it worked in various locations from 2005 to 2015.

 

Cheers,

Dave

Hi all,

 

We've now received a painted sample for our exclusive Class 07 in HNRC colours. 

 

We're really happy with it. The detail is very fine and the printing is crisp.

 

We've noted a couple of very minor ammendments with Heljan and can't wait to get them in to stock in due course.

 

 

More images available HERE on our website.

 

Cheers,

Dave

And price has gone up by £12 (statement of fact, not a trigger for more price debates!) to £111

Thanks Dave, I've edited my post to correct!

[gridwatcher]

After all this 07 froth has died down perhaps Heljan (or Oxford) might announce an 06...... far superior beast!?   

Edited July 17, 2017 by gridwatcher

[No Decorum]

Yes, an 06 to modern standards would be very welcome.

[Hattons Dave]

Hi all,

 

We've received a production sample from Heljan showing the finished version of 07001 in it's attractive Harry Needle Railroad Company livery.

 

This showcases all of the fine detail ranging from the wasp stripes on the body to the controls in the cab.

 

The model also features metal handrails and separately fitted end detail, including high level pipework and box for the air compressor.

 

 

 

 

 

These are due in to stock with us in Spring of this year. As soon as we receive any more precise information we will ensure to update our system.

 

All versions of the Heljan Class 07 are available to order for £111 each on THIS page of our website.

 

 

Cheers,

Dave

Superb. I can retire my resin body version now.

[7013]

Received my HNRC 07 today, it really s a weighty model. Took it to my club layout, It did have a bit of a waddle for the first 10 mins or so. However after 30 mins each way it runs beautiful. The level of detail is excellent, and slow running is very good. Mine will receive a DCC chip soon but I must say this is a belter of a loco.

Anyone do a sound project for one of these?

Edited June 7, 2018 by 7013

[Butler Henderson]

Noticed the photos on Hattons web site (on my laptop anyway) make it look yellow rather than orange, I presume those shown above in the thread are correct. tempted to buy one - been trying to work out how to justify a 07 given they were very restricted in sphere of range due to running hot axleboxes, so having ruled out one for the layout in its mid 60s BR guise, one for it in preserved mode would be more apt.

 

EDIT - seems to be a laptop screen issue, just moved it forwards on the image above and it they changed from orange to yellow!

But a word of caution, in that thread, Linesideohotos, who says he works with the Eastleigh 07 daily, says the Wickness sounds aren’t right.

Yes, sound like the sister loco's (LSSH type) which are hydraulic where as the 07 is electric traction powered
