The Heljan Rail Trains HO-OO Train BR Blue Syp D8568 is a stunning model that celebrates the Clayton Type 1 diesel locomotives, famous for their distinctive center cab design aimed at improving crew visibility.
Although 117 units were built between 1962 and 1971 for British Rail, their twin-engine design faced reliability issues, resulting in a brief service career before transitioning to industrial use until 1982.
This meticulously crafted model features an 8-pin DCC interface for digital control, working lights for added realism, and NEM couplings for compatibility with other models. The sprung buffers enhance the model's authenticity, making it a perfect addition for seasoned model railroaders and newcomers.
With a length of 20.3 cm, the BR Blue Syp D8568 captures a unique slice of British rail history, ideal for display or operational enjoyment.
