Announcing the ALL NEW Heljan OO Gauge Class 42 'Warship' - Including Rails EXCLUSIVE versions!

[@JulianSaunders]

Great news Ben. Really looking forward to seeing these.😎

[@robertmarsh3588]

Lovely locos. Fancy a blue and a maroon one. Would love a TT120 version, though.

[@duainesimpson274]

Excellent news! One of my favourite oldies 😃

[@heaptoncollierymodelrailwa6011]

Smart project and great video. These sorta videos are a great way to build some hype!

[@michaelhibbert4393]

Loved them in Maroon

[@NTSCuser]

It was the first one I ever saw, thought it was a visitor from Mars!

[@chrisdavies3913]

I'm a steam fan but I think these are my favourite Diesel locos, probably the best looking.

[@JohnPW22]

Great new release, and kudos 👏

[@Enviro4000]

Sort the couplings out so they don't droop and leave the buffer beam detailing to the owner and it will be brilliant

[@DeltaJazzUK]

Fabulous.

[@richardverghese1353]

only put buffer parts on one end only not both

[@leelishman7137]

Wonder if they'll have the front skirts,fitted with couplings,always a pain to fit on Bachmann, but looked wrong without them

[@iantaylor6115]

Great news, just one plea, will you please please sort out you artwork on the late crest it's not good. Thanks

[@fredphipps9452]

Great news, but will it be more accurate than Heljan's O gauge one which had obvious inaccuracies? Such as incorrect shaped front windows, over simplified cabside windows, angle of slope below body sides too steep, should be 45 degrees. If these corrections are not made this loco will sure be below the standard set by Bachmann's OO Class 43 Warship which came onto the market about 10 yrs ago.

[@christopheraddis365]

I totally agree but as well as what you mentioned, its the roof & grille detail differences on the first 13 that's concerning. I hope they address these otherwise I won't be in the market for one of those models, D813-D832 looks to be the variant they've modelled correctly. D866 - D870 were the same as the first 13, especially the roof detail but had the double struts in the bodyside & cant rail grilles & without centre louvres either side.

[@roberthiorns7584]

😊👍

[@chorlton4]

Watch that nose shape Ben ! the O gauge version wasnt quite there. The Bachmann class 43 from 2015 however managed to nail it fairly well

[@fredphipps9452]

Also front windows and sloping surface above side valence were not quite right on O GAUGE version. Would be great if all these errors are corrected

[@leelishman7137]

Looked great in BR Blue full yellows and Maroon Full yellows

[@alyciamarrison2916]

Did any of these ever get painted in the dessert sand or ocre like the Wsetern's?

[@christopheraddis365]

Nope.
