Episode 48: Heljan Class 26 Unboxing & HM7000 TXS Upgrade — Railfreight Grey 26041

Episode 48 features a beautifully kept and cherished Heljan 2635 Class 26, the BRCW Sulzer Type 2 26041 in Railfreight grey with large logo — and already nicely weathered. Another excellent find from Kent Model Exchange in New Romney, continuing the run of quality second‑hand locos joining the Ragstones NSE fleet. In this episode I unbox the model, take a close look at the detailing and weathering, and then upgrade it to full digital sound using the Hornby HM7000 8‑pin TXS decoder and a sugar‑cube speaker. In this episode you’ll see: • Unboxing the Heljan Class 26 26041 • Close‑ups of the Railfreight grey livery and weathering • Installing the HM7000 8‑pin TXS decoder • Fitting the sugar‑cube speaker • First digital test run on the Ragstones NSE layout • Thoughts on Heljan’s build quality and running performance • Another great addition from Kent Model Exchange If you enjoy Heljan diesels, HM7000 upgrades or second‑hand model railway finds, this is a great episode to watch. 👍 Like, comment and subscribe to support the channel. 📌 Follow Ragstones NSE on Facebook for layout updates, behind‑the‑scenes posts and tournament news.
