Based on original research and extensive assistance from Porterbrook Leasing, the HELJAN Class 153 is packed with desirable features that make it a ‘must have’ for modellers of the BR Sectorisation era and post-1994 privatisation period.
And, reversing the modifications made by BR to create the Class 153s in the early-1990s, we’ve used the ‘153’ as a basis for an all-new BR/Leyland Class 155 ‘Super Sprinter’ (see above), filling a significant gap in the second generation DMU fleet. Full details about the Class 155 will be unveiled later, but its specification will be very similar to the Class 153. Two-car units will be offered in original Provincial Services ‘Sprinter’, West Yorkshire PTE Red/Cream (original and revised livery) and Northern livery.
