The BR Class 104 DMU were built by Birmingham Railway Carriage & Works Co. for the London Midland and the North Eastern Regions. With 302 vehicles built to six different car types, the 104s are the largest group of BR diesel railcars not currently available in OO ready-to-run form. Although synonymous with the Manchester area and the routes to Buxton and Blackpool, the units worked across a wide area of northern England and the Midlands. Towards the end of their career, some ventured further afield to Scotland and the south-east of England.

Heljan will release the 104 in a wide range of BR liveries convering the life of the class from 1957 until retirement of the final sets in 1993. The model will feature a low profile mechanism powering one car per set, switchable interior and exterior lighting features, a 21-pin DCC decoder interface and provision for DCC sound. Options for factory-fitted DCC sound on all models are being investigated and will be announced separately. External features will include authentic detail variations appropriate to period and livery. A highly-detailed interior and underframe, separate handrails and sprung buffers.
