RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just looking at the images on the Heljan website, these are looking very nice ! https://www.Heljan.co.uk/post/oo-gwr-railcars-now-in-production 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The custard part of the blood and custard on the BR ones looks decidedly more yellow rather than cream. Think the blood needs to be a shade darker too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Isherwood. I think we've become too accustomed to other makers' rendering of "blood" which has, all-too-often, been significantly too dark. This looks good to me, also.

Trade Member charliepetty Posted March 25, 2021 Trade Member Share Posted March 25, 2021 Legomanbiffo & Heljan have been discussing 'Projects & design' so when normal times arrive, this will be taken forward for future products we hope. Charlie. PPS GWR Railcar: These will be on the Website Shortly sound fitted. https://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=253_66 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoombeTown Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I note that the second batch of Class 25s will be provided with cables and connectors for speakers. Given they are still in production, will this also apply to the railcar/ will they be available as spares? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Does Ben know when these will be arriving in Denmark. The Heljan advert in the June RM says they are due in May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Heljans ads can get a bit ahead of themselves. We're still waiting for the OO9 Lynton & Barnstaple Baldwin that their ads claimed was available last autumn. Their website may be more helpful.

The Heljan advert in the June RM says they are due in May. Hattons have updated their pre-orders to show May or June now. Ben @61661would be able to give the definitive answer, but it looks like they won’t be long. The images look very good. One question I have for Ben though, where is the motor? On one of the images it looks as if it’s visible in the brake compartment- like the old Lima pancake motor.... Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the CADs were posted on here the text said - ...A centrally-mounted, low profile motor under the floor will drive both bogies..... So hopefully that is what we will get. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a speaker enclosure? Although I agree, it's a bit intrusive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
61661 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hello All, The OO railcar motor is set low in the chassis between the bogies, driving all four axles. The luggage van area contains the 21-pin decoder interface and open space where a speaker can be fitted. Hope this helps Ben 4 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Now very confused about the release date for the railcars. The Heljan update released last week had them still 'in production', with an expected release of July/August. If they are in production, as stated, then unlikely to be released in July, however I've just had a Hattons update advising they are expected in early July. It would help to know which is correct as I have two to pay for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rembrow Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 An update by Rails this morning advises the railcar are on their way to them This must mean they are being dispatched to UK retailers from Heljan in Denmark, as the bulk consignments, ex China, go to the Heljan facility in Denmark first.

rembrow Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The Hattons newsletter for this week, issued today, advised that they are expecting the railcars in the next few days. Kernow at Guildford received them last week, but the Camborne shop and mail order is still expecting them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will arrive in the next day or two and then I will be able to provide pictures. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
