OO Gauge with 21 Pin DCC Socket

4821 Model Rail Class 48 Diesel Loco number D1704 in BR Two-Tone Green with small yellow warning panels - weathered

When Heljan announced its all-new ‘OO’ gauge Class 47 project, we took the opportunity to commission the first ever ready-to-run model of the Class 48 - a small fleet of Brush Type 4s equipped with experimental Sulzer V12 power units. Although very similar to a ‘47’, the Class 48s featured significant alterations to the roof to accommodate a revised exhaust system, plus modified engine room doors and ventilation grilles.

Our exclusive Class 48 boasts the same high specification as Heljan’s all-new Class 47, representing Heljan’s most complex ‘OO’ model to date, with a specially tooled bodyshell to accurately reflect the changes made to the ‘48s’.

This model features:

  • Five-pole motor with twin flywheels
  • Directional head/tail lights
  • Interior lights
  • NEM Coupler Pockets

These models produced exclusively for Model Rail by Heljan.
