Well my plain green loco has arrived and runs well on an imperium decoder. Slightly stutters over a couple of my less than perfectly laid points but its still running in so could well improve.
However, one area of concern is according to the manual there is only 6 months warranty. Upon checking the manual for my recently purcahsed Class 33 that too only has 6 months warranty.
So are Heljan now only offering 6 months warranty?
EDIT :
It seems 6 months is correct. From the Heljan website :
Q: What is the warranty period on Heljan models?
A: All Heljan models have a standard warranty period of six months from the date of purchase. Should you experience any problems with your model, please return it to the retailer from which it was purchased for exchange or a refund.
