Why this model matters

The BR 10800 represents a significant experimental diesel prototype in British railway history. This Heljan OO gauge model allows modellers to include a distinctive and historically important locomotive within Early BR-era layouts, supported by modern DCC-ready design.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on clean 16.5 mm OO gauge track and operate using a compatible DC controller. For DCC operation, install a suitable 21-pin decoder before use. Maintain clean track and wheels for consistent performance, and store the model safely when not in use.
