Nice one Anthony, I have a couple of Heljan 33s (including a 'Slimjim') and they're lovely, especially for the money Hattons knock them out at. Great runners.

Yes mate great price you could have 2 of them for the price of a 201 and have some change to buy a wacon or 2. D6517 is going for £56. I fitted it with a lenz silver and I'm amazed at the running quality's without even playing with any of the CV's

26s and 27s are pretty much the same too, and also going cheap in Hattons. Haven't had one poor Heljan runner yet, and have around 20 Heljan locos.

Hi Warbonnet,do you have a Heljan 'Lion'?I am tempted to buy one and wondered what they were like.I just bought a Deltic prototype(NRM the blue one).

It the Deltic made by Bachmann Fran

 

Sure is, a special done for the National Railway Museum.

What a stunner!

They are all stunning, but my favorite is the Deltic

[Warbonnet]

Ibelieve the NRM will be doing another run of Deltics soon, keep an eye on their website. I love the Deltic, but the LMS diesels are still my favourites. When I get back on my feet properly financially I think I might invest in the JLTRT O gauge kits of them. http://www.justliketherealthing.co.uk/lms-10000-10001-o-gauge-diesel-loco-kit-p-160.html?cPath=46
