‘24s’ for ’24 – SULZER TYPE 2s UNVEILED AT WARLEY NEC SHOW!


You asked for it, so we’re delivering it. In recent years we’ve received more requests for an ‘O’ gauge Class 24 than almost anything else. So we’ve gone ‘all out’ to bring you not just a Class 24/0, but also the later Class 24/1s AND Scottish Region ‘24/1s’ with twin headlights.


The ‘skinhead’ Class 24/0s will arrive first, in six authentic BR era liveries, with five Class 24/1s to follow in 2025. Look out for the first engineering prototypes on display at the Warley NEC show on November 25/26 2023.

These outstanding new models feature all-new body toolings with authentic variations between the different sub-types, bespoke bogie and underframe parts, detailed cab interiors and much more! Variations include bodies with original skirts or skirts removed, Scottish Region tablet catcher equipment, different roof panel and fuel/water tank arrangements, original or revised sandboxes and twin car style headlights fitted to Class 24/1s based at Inverness in the 1970s (see below).

Other features include authentic drilled out wheels and bogie equalising beams, etched grilles, separately fitted handrails and pipe runs, separate headcode discs, etched metal step covers and boiler grille cover plates.

These ‘new generation’ models also feature a plug-and-play DCC decoder interface (ESU Loksound XL decoder required), powered roof fan, six separately switchable light functions and our renowned heavy duty twin motor/flywheel chassis.

Looks like a fantastic addition to the Heljan range and this will be a very popular model with railway enthusiasts. Will definitely be getting a skinhead 24. Well done Heljan for producing this. Now can we have a NB Class 22 diesel hyrdraulic in the future please.
