I reckon Heljan are on to a winner so long as the price is competitve and it runs well. At pushing £300 for the O Gauge, let’s hope it runs well at least!

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm the first to admit I might well have missed it in the thread, and I find Heljan's website pretty incomprehensible, but does anyone know how much the 00 DC version of this thing is likely to be? The information might have been on one of the photographs I can't see... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights and provision for sound in a tiny loco – excellent Heljan! In amongst the multiple 25s, 37s, 47s etc., here is something not available RTR before. Whoopee! I suppose the O2s are quietly progressing in the background. Edited January 15, 2023 by No Decorum Brain melt. I’ve ordered two O2s. O2+O2 does not=O4.

TheEngineShed Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 On 30/04/2022 at 14:14, neal said: Rails suggest £126 N Hattons had a similar pre-order price. Just received a message from them, due to a misunderstanding, they can't now honor the pre-order price, it has now gone to £143.65. That's the same price now currently listed on both Rails and Kernows websites. So it looks like these will be a bit dearer. My pre-order for D2861 states "sold out on pre-order", even though they are still listed on Hattons website for sale. We are still approximately 4-6 months out on delivery. At this point, Heljan probably know how many units will actually ship... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted September 23, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2022 Yes I had the same experience with Hattons, an invitation to order before 5pm on 15th Sep to lock in prices before they went up. In the event they put the prices up in the morning of 15th and then told me my pre-order (for an Cl108) placed on the 14th, at the old price, was 'due to a misunderstanding' - but they did not reveal which party had made it... I was intending to order an 02 on the 15th, but discovered the one I wanted was sold out... oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted January 15, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think we had two of these little Yorkshires at Whiteheads, Newport. One went to Caerphilly, and the other went to the Gwili, Carmarthen. sadly, Both of these had radiator issues, and although repairable, were cut up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
