These German-built railbuses were delivered in April 1958 and initially operated on the Maldon, Braintree, and Saffron Walden lines. The last working example was withdrawn from service in August 1967 and four survived into preservation. This model is an improvement on the previous version first produced by Heljan in 2012.

Last produced in 2012, these German-built vehicles were the first and most popular of the Heljan family of lightweight BR diesel railbuses. Almost a decade after their last appearance, they are long overdue a fresh look and will feature small improvements to bring them up to current standards. LEDs will replace the previous grain-of-wheat bulbs but the 21-pin DCC decoder interface has been retained. Improved decoration will also set these models apart from their predecessors.
