I,can never quite work out Heljan they spend what you would think plenty of time developing a model only to release it with issues, is. Class 55, 40, 52 now 60. Personally it doesn't really bother me but seems a wasted opportunity.
-
I think the Heljan 31 is one of their best models, looks good to me too.
-
If jltrt bring out a Woodhead electric and a deltic I think Pete and Laurie should be both knighted for services to o gauge railways
-
Woodhead electrics I hear you say.....there is a god what a wonderful start to Saturday morning thank you.
-
I'm not going to criticise I always get shot down in flames for having a go at Dapol for being slow apparently I just have to wait, and wait and wait.....
-
Has a release date been announced yet, I can't wait!
-
Looks good to me I would,save your money.
-
Poor old Fred, I've told the Mrs to sell each bit on its own on eBay!

I used to buy a lot from hattons mainly Bachmann wagons in big batches every few months, it has been difficult doing this what with availability and general price hikes but the pre owned stuff really puts me off shopping at hattons it's like they want you to buy this stuff, I don't and I can't be bothered sifting through the endless lists of the stuff. Hattons are a no no for me now.
-
I suppose they are struggling getting the models to sell from Hornby and Bachman like everyone else but I can't see how they make up their prices for what is basically people's broken cast offs in some cases. Can't be doing much for their reputation, I would rather deal with lthe likes of homes or invicta.

On the subject of power draw on Heljan motors we were struggling to sort out the derailing problems with the class 40 which was a really easy fix if anyone is interested and the current draw from both motors never got above 1 amp.
-
I'll chase this one as well, any news anyone or just another fantasy project.
-
I know what you mean would love a blue one as well to go with the western but I'll just have to make the maroon look worn
-
Advance ordered mine have gone for Maroon Full Yellow Ends.
-
Br blue for me to go with the western, lovely!!
-
Point taken, I certainly agree they're not rushing it but come on 5 years! Regular updates to customers on progress and anticipated delivery times wouldn't be a bad thing to do, it just seems a tad arrogant of them to expect people to hang around waiting for this sort of stuff.
-
I've had mine on order since 2010' that is a joke! I don't care how you dress it up. I hope someone from Kernow reads this.
-
When is the model due for release?

Heljan O Gauge Class 37 - new versions being discussed
delticfan replied to Cliff Williams's topic in Heljan
i do agree with you to some degree, the deltic was pretty bad, but maybe I was being too critical. It wouldn't take much to get their models nearer the mark. -

Why are Heljan moulds only good for 800 shots, I had heard that before but didn't think it was true ~ just interested. -
Heljan O Gauge Class 37 - new versions being discussed
delticfan replied to Cliff Williams's topic in Heljan
i was contemplating the Heljan 40 or JLTRT but for me I have little time so Heljan won and to be honest I could overlook the incorrect details, that's my view anyway. I would love a centre Headcode 37 maybe a centre Headcode 20 as well. -
Another Kestrel follower! Keep lobbying for it.......
-
Looks like a call to Howes on Monday to book mine. Very crisp moulding of the grilles stunning paint job. I hope this time next year it will be kestrel!
-
Yep ordered my D600 in 2010 too hope I live to see the real model!
-
Top photo looks like Crepello adjacent the paint shop at the plant not a usual view it must be said probably 1978/79 before white cabs applied. Fantastic record photo!
