Join me in this detailed review of the Heljan model of the unique British Railways locomotive 10800, known as the "Wonder Engine." Initially designed by George Ivatt and built by the North British Locomotive Company in 1950, 10800 was a prototype inspired by North American designs, aiming to replace steam engines on secondary and branch lines.

In this video, we’ll explore the intricate details of the Heljan model, from its delicate pipes and handrails to its accurately depicted steam heating boiler and Paxman 16PHXL engine. I'll provide tips on handling and servicing this finely detailed model, ensuring you can enjoy it without damage.

We’ll also delve into the fascinating history of 10800, particularly focusing on its trials and tribulations on the Southern Region from 1952 to 1954. Despite its struggles and the nickname "The Wonder Engine," 10800 played a significant role as a pathfinder for future diesel locomotives like the Class 15 and 16.

Watch as we run the model on my layout, showcasing its smooth operation and realistic performance. From pulling a rake of Birdcage coaches to handling freight, 10800 proves its worth despite its historical challenges.
Stay tuned for more insights, history, and model railway fun!
