Locomotives

RTR O Gauge locomotives. When Heljan first annouced they were planning to produce 'O' gauge ready-to-run fully finished locomotives we were at first a little dubious. Virtually nothing had been produced with plastic bodies for the British market since Triang Big-Big in the 70's. The company had no experience of 'O' gauge gauge and were only recent new-comers to the 'OO' British market. This is an expensive venture for Heljan and they are very brave to lead the field. If the modellers want to see more ready-to-run plastic bodied locomotives it is up to them to make Heljan's first efforts a success. The newly announced Class 37 should be out autumn 2008. For 2009 we should see a Class 20 produced. No release schedule or idea of price as of yet but I would expect it later in the year. Once again Tower Models will be working very closely with Heljan on this project and as with the Class 47 and 37 there will be a Tower Models Limited Edition of the Class 20. You can now click through to individual pages for each Class of locomotive.
