Detaljeret beskrivelse
Detaljeret beskrivelse
66793 kommer under den brede paraply af, hvad der er kendt for britiske jernbaneentusiaster som en "euroklasse 66". Disse lokomotiver udviser alle forskelle i forhold til hjemmeflåden klasse 66, som vi er bekendt med. Dette lokomotiv blev bygget i august 2003 for HSBC Rail og udlejet til ERS Railways (tidligere European Rail Shuttle) i Holland og fik deres flådenummer 6608. I 2009 blev lokomotivet erhvervet af Beacon Rail Leasing og overført til Heavy Haul Power International (HPI) til 09, hvor det blev omnummereret til 09 ved navn "Dave Meehan". HHPI opererede 29004 i Tyskland indtil 2020, hvor de opgraderede deres flåde til Stadler Euro Dual-lokomotiver, og klasse 66-flåden blev fortrængt. I slutningen af 2020 ankom 29004 til Storbritannien til Immingham før overførsel til Doncaster Roberts Road depot for konvertering til britiske specifikationer for de nye operatører, GBRf. Denne konvertering omfattede ændring af profilen af de forreste deflektorplader, montering af britisk elektrisk udstyr (og fjernelse af europæisk udstyr) plus GBRf-standardopgraderinger til lys og vinduer. Lokomotivet bibeholdt nogle af sine Euro-funktioner såsom dobbeltrørsluftsystemet, større hornboks og eurohornsedler. Da ombygningen var afsluttet, blev den nyligt registrerede 66793 overført til malerværkstedet i Eastleigh, før det blev afsløret i løbet af marts 2021 i dets British Rail-inspirerede, tredobbelte grå belægning komplet med byggesektorens markeringer. Dette blev gjort for at markere partnerskabet mellem GBRf og forskellige kunder i byggesektoren.

After the problems I have experienced with Accurascale Class 37s, this Class 66 shows what the company can achieve at its best. It feels solid, runs superbly and has been completely reliable: smooth at low speed, sure-footed through points and beautifully finished in GBRf triple grey.
I bought the DCC-ready version. The removable roof panel, shown open in my photograph, gives direct access to the decoder socket without removing the body. This is a major advantage over older Lima-derived Hornby Class 66 models, where repeatedly unclipping the body can loosen or damage the retaining clips. It is an excellent feature of the former Hattons tooling, refined further by Accurascale.
My only regret is not buying the factory sound-fitted version, which would have been better value than purchasing a LokSound decoder afterwards. I will review that separately. Unlike the Class 37s with which I have experienced several QC and running issues, this Class 66 has been bulletproof. Highly recommended.
Another superb shed, looking forward to some other euro varieties.
Everything about this model is beautiful, which is more than can be said of the real class 66's. The depth of the finish on the model is superb and the colours have good depth and coverage. The running qualities straight out of the box are also superb, smooth and quiet (with sound turned off). The sounds have good depth to them as well, although I turned up the bass and reduced the treble a bit. As an impulse, very last-minute purchase, I can happily say I am very pleased with the model, and it meets all off the usual expectations we have from Accurascale.
Stunning model, runs beautifully, fantastic detail. Easy to remove body to fit driver. This is my 5th Accurascale class 66. Tempted by another.
Absolutely fantastic livery and highly detailed.
Excellent model, runs very smoothly.
This is my first Accurascale exclusive model and as my second class 66 this is another excellent detailed model and the livery is applied perfectly and does look good alongside my ever growing GBRf fleet.
Love this
Really great loco
Great looking and running loco at a good price
Another amazing well built model. The Euro differences are perfectly added and runs amazing.
The other reviews say it all! Let’s be right I am only here for the loyalty points 😉 as the other reviews say what you need to know! But here is my 50p worth…
You know this is going to be special from the outset as it starts with its box. Nice detail differences as it’s the Euro-spec 66. Cracking livery application and I’m now waiting for 66794 to arrive!
Beautiful, highly detailed exclusive model which runs perfectly.
This is my favourite loco in my entire fleet now, Accurascale have done an amazing job as always, hoping they will make a new batch with some more amazing liveries, 10/10
You guys have done it again! Smashed it out of the park.
another great class 66 in this special grey livery thank you accurascale
Great loco nice heavy weight and great hauler. Had 20 wagons more behind this didnt sweat one bit. Recomend this locomotive.
An exclusive Accurascale model I didn’t think I needed.
Yet I found myself gutted I’d missed the opportunity to get on. The they came back into stock and I was able to purchase at an amazing price, using Accurascale’s reward scheme.
I wasn’t disappointed in this model and really please I’d brought one, now to take advantage of a sound bundle to really bring it to life.
The detail is perfect and the model is bursting with features. The livery is crisp and captures the real loco just right.
Fantastic quality as per usual. Heavy, smooth running from the box, detail and finish is a chefs kiss!
One proud owner!
Thanks to all involved!
Yet another quality model from the Accurascale team.
nice model, good detail, is it better than the Bachmann version? on a par with each other
Another excellent class 66 to add to the ever growing collection.
Smooth runner and great livery.
