Heljan Class 15
 

Anyone got there's yet? I had a wee peek on ehattons, and I must admit I was quite impressed, also tempted...

Still waiting delivery of mine Gorden.

Is that a birthday present as well Syd!

Best wishes,

John H-T.

No John, I had to save up my penny's and pay for this one myself. Now if I can just have a word with my daughter before my birthday!!!

Heljan Class 15
 

Arrived home from work to find this waiting for me.

AHA! So THAT'S what a class 15 is! And I had a photo of one all the time:

taken at Kings Cross around 1964-ish. :)

I remember those type 15's on the Southend and Southminster lines.

I've just uploaded a photo to the gallery.

Thanks to both Dave and Philip for the photos. I have never see a Class 15 in 12" to the foot scale.

An odd thing - I have a notebook from 1963 which shows I saw two of these double-heading a train at Reading on a summer Saturday, no idea whether it was a freight working or a special (only wrote down the numbers back then!)

Just to make you all laugh, this is what I looked like when the Type 15 photo was taken !

I was 14 or 15 !:D
