HELJAN 53031

D0280 'FALCON' in Lime Green

Limited Edition

I know nothing about 'Falcon' and certainly never saw it in real life but what a superb locomotive this is. I think this livery suits 'Falcon' really well and makes it stand out from the rest of my collection. It's something different and that's what it's all about.

After the debacle with the class 17 Clayton loco's, I'm pleased to say that this stunning loco has got the performance to match it's looks and it runs smoothly and quietly. I've not yet had any stock behind it but I have a feeling that this loco will get plenty of work once the layout is fully operational. It may be a limited edition but I haven't bought it for display in a cabinet - the Falcon will be seen working regularly on the SGR.
