HELJAN REVEALS NEW MODEL AND RE-RELEASES IN 2021 CATALOGUE

Heljan's 2021 new model range catalogue is on-sale via its network of retailers. Highlighted inside are re-runs of its previously unavailable items, with new liveries and a previously unannounced model for O gauge – an LMS 50ft inspection saloon.

In development for release in 2022 with prices yet to be confirmed, Heljan has said the model will feature DCC-controlled interior lighting, detailed saloons and LMS or B4 bogies, dependent on era/livery. No fewer than 12 liveries are planned, spanning the LMS, BR and Privatisation eras. An ideal single-vehicle train for layouts of all sizes, it will complement the range of locomotives available from Heljan.

Also confirmed is a re-run of its OO gauge Cargowaggon IWB bogie van in both standard and new liveries – including Colas/Tarmac and Blue Circle Cement. In response to customer demand, it will be joined in 2021 by a new run of the OO gauge IGA bogie flat in Cargowaggon, Corus Rail and, for the first time, RailAdventure livery – the last-mentioned offered as a twin pack with authentic concrete ballast weights to complement the IWB barrier wagon pack released earlier this year.

Extra versions of the new LNER ‘O2’ 2-8-0 have been included in the production run now in preparation, adding further combinations of the GNR/LNER cabs and tenders, livery variations and two weathered BR editions.

Details of these new items have been circulated to Heljan UK stockists and will be available to pre-order shortly.
