With our outstanding split headcode Class 37/0s now available and earning rave reviews Heljan have now confirm the liveries for the hotly anticipated centre headcode variants. Yet again these cover all the most popular and requested liveries and some interesting alternatives to the split headcode batch.

In response to requests from O gauge modellers, the new batch includes unnumbered BR Blue and Large Logo Blue locomotives, unbranded Railfreight Sector grey and Cornish china clay favourite 37196 Tre Pol and Pen in mid-1980s Railfreight Large Logo grey. New liveries include BR General grey and the much-requested InterCity ‘Swift’ livery applied to Scottish sleeper locomotives in the early-1990s. For post-privatisation era modellers we have also included 37248 in West Coast Railways red and a Network Rail yellow Class 97/3

Following our normal theme, Tower Models are doing a Limited Edition of the popular mid-1990s Transrail Grey/Yellow livery.

As with the split headcode models, these have designed in a wide range of authentic detail variations across the different liveries, including three alternative nose end arrangements, cast or fabricated bogies, high intensity headlights, NRN radio aerials, steam heating equipment and different underframe tanks for locomotives with or without steam heating boilers.

The models also feature an all-new bespoke body with improved grille, window and windscreen detail.
All models will be supplied DCC Ready with our new standard ‘plug and play’ decoder interface and an enticing selection of authentic lighting features, details and functions.

As always we are also offering our numbering and weathering service through the workshops should customer's wish to take advantage of this service. Numbering a loco is just £25.00, numbering and weathering an additional £75.00. Numbering for the Large Logo version is an additional £10.00 on top of the standard numbering costs. This usually take 3-4 weeks to complete. We can also do named examples if required at an additional £25.00 subject to the number of plates required and this can take up to 6 weeks as the name plates are made specially to order. There is also the option of sound fitting as well through the workshops at an additional £300.00 using the ESU v5.0 XL chip using a earthmover EM2 speaker

These are expected late 2025 and we are taking advance orders for all version now for despatch when they are released; a simple call can secure yours now.
