This item is included in our 'Fasters Fingers First' Heljan sale. All items are competitively priced for quick sale, and include shipping as standard. Most item quantities are ones and twos and we will endeavour to remove sold out items as soon as possible. Some models are marked as "(DEMIC STOCK)", this means we have discovered a fault during testing and a description of that fault is provided where applicable.

Please note that ALL items in this sale have been unboxed, tested and run on our shop test track. ALL items have slight box imperfections, be it small dents, scratches, marks or tears caused by storage here. If you like perfect, unboxed models in perfect, pristine boxes, sadly this sale is probably not best for you - our apologies.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Heljan Class 17's are known for being fairly slow runners, but they do speed up as they warm up. This slow running is often accompanied by a medium volume (but not excessive) whirring noise from the motor. The models on offer today have all passed testing, but we are asking customers to tick the box as they add them to their cart to acknowledge that they are aware of these two technical attributes.

This model is DCC ready and is ready to be fitted with a DCC decoder. We have a full range of DCC chips (including chips compatible with this locomotive) available here. Why not take advantage of our great value in-house chip fitting service which you can add to your order here. We're aware that there is a lot of different opinions and information out there when it comes to which chip is best to buy, sound vs non-sound, etc. If you're unsure on what to buy, please feel free to contact our friendly team for advice!
