Hampshire Hog Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 This week I received my long awaited Heljan 07 shunter, I put a decoder in it and it performs with Heljans usual smooth, powerful and virtually silent running. It brought back many early childhood memories of the early 60's being sat in the back of dads car in Mayflower Park, Southampton watching various ships of the time heading off down Southampton Water to all points of the compass - particularly Union Castle boats to and from South Africa, never imagining at that time that I would eventually sail on one in the future as the cruise ship Island Breeze. (formally The Vaal and before that Transvaal Castle). I never thought that I would have a model 07 either as they were only in Southampton Docks or near abouts and there were not many of them, but it just goes to show that anything is possible these days, I can also remember the USA Tanks I suppose I'll have to get one of them next. Anyway a picture of 07005 hard at work on Leaford Docks. Cheers, Kevin 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted June 16, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Looks good Kevin I’ve thought about getting one as a military depot shunter for Tidworth. Edited June 16, 2018 by Temeraire 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Looks good Kevin I’ve thought about getting one as a military depot shunter for Tidworth. I don't think you would be disappointed if you bought one mate, the detail is excellent and the running qualities superb, I fitted a very small Lenz 6 pin decoder which fitted a treat (not much space) and as per usual mine will have to be weathered. Best regards Kevin 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 looks great Kevin, I used to like my 07 on Campbell Road, and that was a kit. Yours looks supurb and perfectly suited for Leaford Docks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Kevin It looks a great model, and seems a huge thumbs up from you by your verdict, they do look smart, some of the YouTube Reviews I've seen, it does look nice close up, with all the hand rails, and a good choice to choose from. You have gone for the one I'm thinking of getting, either that or the Harry Needles, I've still trying to decide... Looks great Kevin.

P.C.M Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi Kevin, The latest layout pics are great. I do like that 07 I saw a model in the yellow livery yesterday they do look very nice. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Yes guys, it is my opinion that it is such a nice model that you can forgive that it is the wrong colour - or the wrong period - or they never ran in the area that I model. I ran mine backwards and forwards on the auto-run for a couple of hours to run it in and now it is magic to watch it glide along, it can't tolerate dirty track though because it is a small, short wheelbase 0-6-0 but keep your tracks clean and it will grace any layout.

Hampshire Hog Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 A couple of the loco's recently added to the roster at Leaford (Tinsley Distribution 47's and Cardiff Metals 37's):- Class 47/3 former Thornaby celebrity loco 47361 "Wilton Endeavour" now a Tinsley favourite enters Leaford Town with an MOD special. (with thanks to Whoppits photo on Temeraires thread Tidworth). and Class 37/7 Cardiff's heavyweight 37886 in the same location. Merry Christmas.
