I do own two Heljan diesel locomotives both run fine one is Class 33 the other is Class 14 ' Teddy Bear' the more up to date stuff is fine the early ones are a mixed bag . The Class 14 in real life was a bit of a disaster with motor issues and drivers struggling with driving them due to the long noses.
The models I've got have impressed me with their running qualities & overall detail. I just don't like breaking off detailing to get it to work properly! I won't be avoiding Heljan so much any more though. Thanks for watching
It is a nice looking thing. Surprised that they didn't make the interior black so as to hide the lack of legroom ...
that could have worked I reckon.
I’ve got this same model it is very reliable like it a lot along with 16 other Heljan models cheers Al
Excellent - nice to know. I expect there'll be more!

I've got one of the first batch of class 17s. replace motor and pcb board.. Truth be told, I never buy another one. think there very poor.
So far, this has been fine. Heljan man did say this was "updated" in some way from the original release. Hopefully, that'll help it last!
