Heljan have released their new catalogue for 2022/23 highlights include the announcement of all-new Class 37/0s and Class 55 ‘Deltics’ in O gauge, a OO gauge GWR Parcels Railcar and an upgraded ‘Slim Jim’ Class 33/2 in as-built condition. Other highlights include the return of three popular O gauge wagons and upgrades to existing OO models including the Class 14 and Class 35 ‘Hymek’.

For the first time, the Class 37/0 will be offered in post-1970s form with cutaway bufferbeam cowlings, cast or fabricated bogies and a choice of nose end arrangements, including end doors/plated ends, HI headlights and plated headcode panels. Batch 1 will feature the much-requested split headcode variant in eight liveries (see below). A centre headcode version with a similar spectrum of detail variations is also in preparation.

Marking the 40th anniversary of their retirement in January 1982, the new Class 55 ‘Deltic’ will focus on the final years of the class and their remarkable post-preservation main line career. Two versions are in development, featuring a number of improvements over previous releases and modifications for the 1975-82 period (ETH equipment, cast bogies, plated quarterlight windows, plated or glazed headcodes, single or twin wipers) and main line operation since the 1990s (as above but with HI headlights and fabricated bogies).

GWR Parcels Railcar No.34 has been added to our OO gauge range in three versions featuring GWR and BR liveries. This project is at the CAD stage and will be a 2023 release.

Other OO gauge developments include an upgrade to the Class 35 ‘Hymek’, which will gain LED lighting, a 21-pin DCC interface and switchable cab lights. The next batch of Class 14s will also be upgraded with a 21-pin DCC interface and improvements to the chassis.
After a gap of several years, the slimline Class 33/2 rejoins the range with a selection of new liveries and an all-new ‘as-built’ version with original exhaust/silencer arrangement. Tooling on the new version is complete and complete samples are expected in early-2022.
