Although its prototype design proved mechanically unreliable, it remains an interesting and visually unique part of BR’s history. This OO gauge model captures the full‑yellow‑ended livery and centre‑cab profile faithfully while offering modern control flexibility with its DCC‑ready interface and working lights, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts focused on 1960s–70s layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the ready‑to‑run locomotive on clean OO gauge track. For analogue DC operation, use a standard controller. For digital operation, install a compatible 8‑pin DCC decoder before use. Maintain clean wheels and track for optimal pickup, check couplings when connecting to other stock, and store the model in a protective environment when not in use to preserve its detailed finish and mechanical components.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heljan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42880865370268,"sku":"HJN1727","price":349.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/HJN1727_2.webp?v=1734118862","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/oo-class-17-br-green-fye-d8539","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
