RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted January 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2016 Heljan has confirmed their intention to produce 'OO' Class 07 in as-built and modified variants with a proposed 2017 release date. Further details to follow. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted January 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2016 Good news indeed. Gradually the small shunters are being picked off. Well done Heljan, 07s are very pretty little shunters, it would be rude not to get one seeing that my local preserved line had/has one.

25901 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just got an email off Hattons telling me that there supplier (Heljan) suggests delivery between Oct 2017 and Dec 2017 Has anyone else wondered how much hassle those end are going to be for them with all the detail and wasp ends https://www.flickr.com/photos/37190-dalzell/23812750393 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Has anyone else wondered how much hassle those end are going to be for them with all the detail and wasp ends Having painted some myself; yes! I was never happy with transfers around the angled and curved corners so it was always a paint job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Having painted some myself; yes! I was never happy with transfers around the angled and curved corners so it was always a paint job. Ditto here! Edited to insert a photo, albeit a somewhat distant one, of my nearly finished Craftsman 07. It has been "nearly finished" for the last 10 or more years! I may just get it beyond the "nearly finished" state before the Heljan model comes out and puts my work to shame.

Painting the real thing was a nightmare with all the dust she got from her time at Peak Forest. We were digging it out of her for years https://www.flickr.com/photos/d9006/3837047351 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I wonder if this is a hint that it will be molded entirely in transparent plastic. There was another sample where the centre cab section was printed in a frosted clear material but I took that to be a 3D print. The detail on that cab section is nowhere near the level of the other parts so I think it will be of traditional construction with the usual glazing inserts. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted November 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Are there any more details of the models being produced? Cat numbers 2900 and 2901 are both green with wasp stripes and different running numbers. Hattons are asking me which one I want my pre-order to be for and I'm not sure if there is any material difference between the two other than the fleet numbers. The same duplication is repeated in the blue ones ( 2902 and 2903 as built, 2904 and 2905 with air brakes) Edited November 30, 2016 by colin penfold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same applies to 2910 & 2911 although they have a slightly different body moulding (as seen on the sample picture) Hope this helps.

Ray M Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It looks like they have a mice problem at Heljan. going by the look of them steps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted December 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2016 Looking forward to it. I have a Silver Fox 07 completed, but the (new) Bachmann chassis I used was such a bad runner it has been consigned to the out of use line. I've started on a second Silver Fox body to try an improve on my first attempt, would be nice to finish it. I hope the Heljan cab steps will be more robust than those on the class 14, mine broke off within a few days. Still not found them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the very first EP from the vendor and the first ones are not normally publicly shown until the initial corrections have taken place............................................and a 2nd one produced.

I'd say this was a fairly successful first showing, since no one has picked any major faults with the shape or details on it ... apart from me noticing the lack of see-through windows, which everyone else seems to have missed!!

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted December 2, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2016 Nice to see this is going along nicely. I hope to get at least one, BR Blue with high level pipes, so 07 005 looks like it will be the one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Hi Grahame, I was thinking about buying one of these, but thanks to your post, I am now thinking about buying TWO. Hmmm.... do I get the non air braked one in BR green or blue? Will need to review the fleet... John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'll definitely be in the market for a green one, seeing as how I wanted my Craftsman one to be green but couldn't figure out a way to get the red and white lining done.If I can stretch the budget far enough, I'll also buy a blue one with high level pipes, preferably with pre-TOPS numbering.
