What you have all been waiting for, haven't you? The Heljan Class 73 first pre-production sample that I have just painted. It has a working flash on the bogie that can be operated only on DCC with a function key and it gives a random flash now and again. Unfortunately the big etched rad grill was missing on the side when this got sent over hence why it's not there. It takes an ESU plug in chip and the ESU speaker screws into the roof then just plugs into the chip, easy! All the flat section style handrails are metal. I got to sort out a better colour for the yellowy Formica in the cabs this is a bit too green. Model will be sold without a headlight as well as with like here. It will have a radio antenna and the spark guards for you to fit if required. The bogies have a lot of details on them including separate wire air lines.

What a cracking model - beautifully presented by you Brian, as always.  It IS what we have been waiting for!  

 

Can you assist with a picture of the speaker, please.  And is it the Loksound L that this loco takes?
