Heljan Railways DCC Ready Class 15 BR Green with Yellow Ends D8208 ref: 1510

A brand new 00 gauge example especially developed by “Heljan Railways” as part of their latest DCC ready series. This engine is the Class 15 Diesel Locomotive., complete with all accessories and paperwork

The British Rail Class 15 diesel locomotives, also known as the BTH Type 1, were designed by British Thomson-Houston, and built by the Yorkshire Engine Company and the Clayton Equipment Company, between 1957 and 1961. They were numbered D8200-D8243.

The first ten locomotives were delivered to London Midland Region’s Devons Road depot in Bow London.

With a decline in freight duties in the London area, and as a relatively small, non-standard and unreliable class, the type was considered surplus to requirements by the late 1960s.
