The BR NBL Prototype &#8216;10800&#8217; locomotive was the first BR mixed-traffic diesel-electric locomotive when it was delivered in 1950, due to being originally ordered by the LMS prior to nationalisation.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Heljan have recreated much of the history of this iconic experimental loco, with four variations available in BR black and BR green liveries. These are all now available at up to 43% off their original RRP, so don&#8217;t miss your chance to bring one into your collection for a brilliant price.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle--block
