    Heljan announce re-tooled Class 86 in OO

    Rails stated yesterday that Heljan had told them that the models have been sent. Whether that means from Denmark or a local distributor though, probably makes a huge difference as to whether it will be a few days or a few weeks.

    This morning I collected my saved copy of Hornby Magazine from my local newsagents.  Needless to say I went straight to the Heljan 86 review - and all I can say is wow!  The close up photo over pages 114 and 115 is simply stunning.  I haven't looked forward to a model release as much as this one  for a long time- very excited!

    Bought a copy myself and see what you mean! Looks great.

    Hi Rob,

     

    We have indeed taken option B as it is the only workable solution to keep the body shape prototypical and allow the navigation of 2nd radius curves minimum. Prototype sized wheels can be fitted but you are looking at being limited to 4th radius curves at the very least. Unfortunately there isnt enough layouts out there with such generous curvature to launch a mass market model and have it succeed from a sales POV, so we had to offer a workable compromise. Since so much of the wheel is behind the bodywork on the real things however it's barely noticeable on the model, but can be changed if you have generous curves and the desire to of course!

     

    Cheers!

    This is from page 41 if you want to read the rest. Essentially the wheels are undersized by a little bit.

    You realise I am still working now because I spent most of the afternoon jumping back to your website and refreshing in nervous anticipation? And now I am an hour behind with what I should have been doing lol

    Good job they didn't put more pictures up or you'd be later and worse still doing overtime to pay for orders!
