Class 66 - Freightliner Groen/Geel - 66507 - DCC Sound Fitted

Having endured with the Hattons versions, it was so good to hear that Accurascale would be bringing this model back to life with a range of improvements and a new sound project.

Presentation, looks, play value — it's all there. An absolute power-house of a loco that weighs a ton and handles itself excepctionally on the track.

Looking forward to putting it to work on some heavy freight trains!

The Original Freightliner Green is without doubt my favourite Class 66 livery. So much so that I have extended the era of my layout to accommodate this loco.

What a superb model Accurascale have made. The Hattons shed had lots of potential, and Accurascale have finished it off beautifully. 😍😍😍 Full thrash please drive!

So glad I preordered the Freightliner 66507 with DCC Sound. No surprise, it was a bit stiff out of the box, but an hour on my rolling road changed things dramatically. I don't think anyone who owns this model will be unhappy. And packaging for post is at another level. I have never in my life had a model delivered with additional heavy-duty cardboard end protectors to virtually guarantee safe delivery. Everything was intact.

I’d always wanted to get into model railways and moving away from the city and close to a railway line with Class 66’s hailing freight trains is arguably one of the factors that helped me get going! Fantastic to now have an Accurascale ‘Fred’ here in wonderfully detailed model form!

I drive these 66s for a living with Freightliner and the sound is so realistic, it’s like being at work at home now. Love the start up procedure and engine idling. My first sound fitted model and doesn’t disappoint. Livery is spot on and model is very smooth at slow speed. Another great model from Accurascale.

I was impressed when Hattons first brought these out, and when Accurascale accquired the model, I was excited to see what improvements and tweaks would be done. When I got mine, I was very impressed with the level of detail and the sound. Although this loco sits outside my era of modelling. I couldn't resist picking one up for the simple reason that its such a cool model to own and enjoy.

Accurascale have taken a very good model and improved it impressively. Runs beautifully and sounds are faithful renditions of the prototype.

Another fantastic model from Accurascale that addresses niggles with the Hattons class 66 plus handles set track express points and slightly uneven trackwork better than the Accurascale class 37 and Deltic with no derailing. Well assembled with an unblemished livery application. One grill was loose in the box, though easily reattached. Smooth running right down to a crawl and an impressive sound project.

You people are at another level, these class 66's are stunning, your locos and rolling stock are poles apart from other mainstream manufactures, eagerly awaiting the sixties, keep up the good work

The model itself is nothing short of outstanding, the detail, decoration are second to none. Well done Accurascale for producing such a model at that price point. The only slight niggle is the sound. It could do with a bit more bass rumble and a little less of the annoying resonance/vibration that is present.

Accurascale's Freightliner '66' is so good I bought it twice! Being at the very end of my modelling time period I'd only intended to get one, but I was so pleased with my first that I couldn't resist another when they came back into stock - really impressed with the sound and controllability, as well as the quality, hauling capability and sharply-printed branding on the sides. Some renumbering and weathering fun awaits!

Excellent model, sounds great, goes well with the other 5

Another excellent model from an excellent model maker. Keep on doing the good work.

I'm not into modern image but the 66 diesels have always impressed me in Oxfordshire and Cornwall. Normally I wouldn't have bothered but because it's Accurascale I have now got 3. Fantastic model of such an impressive locomotive. Well done Accurascale Team!

Another excellent model! Looks the part and sounds the part .

Hi Accurascale. class 66 received in perfect condition. packing for overseas sales is perfect. had no time to actually test it as my layout is being overhauled. but if it is anything to go by with your other models and other reviews i saw on utube i expect this to run perfectly without any hiccups.

Highly recommend this model .

This model is amazing, as someone who has driven the class 66 for 11 years, I can say for certain that this is the best Class 66 model I have owned. It performed faultlessly from the moment that it can out the box. The front handrail at the number one end did come off during transit however this was soon put back on without any issue. Well done guys.

Another excellent model from Accurascale. Looking forward to receiving the
GB varient.

Another wonderful model.

They just get better and bigger and so does the price. My son keeps asking for a wage increase or he will call a rail strike no news there then. Absolutely brilliant.
Let's make a 'mayflower' B1 to go with all the other top notch locos. keep 'em' coming

Accurascale have really mastered packaging, my 66 arrived in outstanding multi-layer boxes and was easy to unpack without any loose bits.

I had a Hattons Class 66 before for several years which this model is an upgrade of. The loco runs perfectly, details are outstanding and the quality upgrade from the older model is noticeable. So smooth to drive.

Where I have been less happy is the sound quality, as brilliant as the loco is, it doesn't match what I had in my Hattons loco, admittedly I fitted with a Legomanbiffo chip & EM2 speaker. I understand that the sound is correct, but from listening to 66s today, I just don't quite think it's captured the sound quite right. Sorry AS.

Probably if I hadn't had a better sound before I'd have given a 5* review, as I would for a DC only loco.

Received my Freightliner class 66 , sound fitted in excellent condition . The model looks fantastic and sounds great. Well done looking forward now to more models

Another excellent model.
