Klasse 66 - Freightliner Oranje - 66415

Having had this for a few weeks, and having a few issues fitting the Hornby DCC chip, I finally got it all up and running. The model
Is stunning, but the detailing on the underside of the body is fragile and sadly one of the pipes came off when I removed the body. But other then that a great model! I have 2 other Accurascale trains 37419 and 37043. I’ve just taken delivery of the EWS MHA wagons too. All absolutely stunning!!! I’ve only been in the hobby for 12 months but can’t wait to get the Pannier tank (my first loco I had when I was 6)

Another superb model from Accurascale. I've had mine a couple of weeks now and it runs like a dream

Accurascale have done it again! Perfect appearance and performance straight out of the box with noticeable improvements from its original hattons design

This is excellent detail locomotive.

From opening the box to running this locomotive for the first time it's a moment to saviour.
The postal packing is well thought out, strong box, plenty of packaging to survive the dangers of the curior service.
The inner box is well protected by the end caps keeping the loco box well away from the sides. Taking the loco box out your presented with a very sturdy loco box with a protective out sleave, carefully opening the large locomotive box your presented with a thick layer of quality foam covering the whole box.
Removing this layer your presented with the inner suspended loco container held in place by very thick foam, carefully removing the plastic inner packing and opening it to reveal a beautifully detailed loco, you've got to take time to just look at it. As soon as you lift it out of inner packing you realise how heavy it is, just feeling it screams quality you know your in for a treat when you put this baby on the track. The First run is that moment your full of expectations and it doesn't disappoint, the loco comes to life, lights, sounds and the first roll of the wheels she glides away like a Rolls Royce smooth and effortless. I love this loco, after spending the day exploring the sounds and super performance of such a well detailed model, you top it off reading the informative booklet provided in the box which it self is a well presented history of the loco. Plus the exploded parts schematic leaflet.
I do wonder why I spend more money and get less quality from other well known manufacturer's.

2nd class 66 that's turned up in the last 3 weeks. side by side you can see the little differences in each loco. both fantastic models

Another superb representation of the 66. Super speed control from a crawl to full pelt. Easy to fit decoder via the removable roof section. Looking forward to run 2 announcement.

Well all i can say is Accurascale have again smashed the ball out the park . The model weight is great looks like it will pull anything and it glides along the track silent no motor noise , the sounds is great with the addition of the Accurathrash speaker , what a fantastic looking model , i liked it so much i purchased more locos

beautiful loco great cause

So, been a while since this beasty rocked up here with me, and it has been a solid performer, looks the part, sounds the part and is just overall an incredible model...
The packaging is solid and does exactly what it is supposed to do, and should there be any dramas, knowing that Accurascale are there to help with any problems is also a nice comfortable feeling... 😉🤗

Looking forward to the next 'shed' on order, along with a 92, a 73 and some coaches too..
Maybe a few multiple units too...😇
Keep doing what you do gang..!!

Been waiting for this quality of Loco for a long time - a great improvement on the Hattons models

Awesome job!

Derails everything it pulls on every corner fantastic looking but not practical to run with any loads

An excellent model with fine detail. I am happy that part of the price has gone to a good cause.

This was an impulse purchase. Never really wanted a 66, but the charity donation swung the deal.

It is a really impressive locomotive and the packaging as always was beyond belief.

There were a couple of issues getting it to Nova Scotia but Patrick and team were helpfulness itself and it was well worth the wait.

The guys from Accurascale keep on setting the bar higher and higher. Looking forward to next batch of class 66's.

Superbly detailed model. Excellent livery and application. Heavy model giving good traction and real presence. Very good performance including a crawl on DC/analogue. Really like the fully fitted buffer beams in the accessory bag, as options. Nice etched name plates. Overall an outstanding model, also supporting a worthy cause.

I wanted a class 66 but this was value and quality fact charity I like better. Love it. Pure quality bees knees

What a really nice model. The printing is well applied, as always details are great and the model supporting a very worthwhile charity made this a model I wanted in my collection.
Keep up the good work.

Delivery was disapointing,10 days after payment & the packing was not 100%

My model is still lovingly wrapped up and bound in its inner packaging. Haven't had the heart to unbox it- as yet. A hidden gem you might say.

I don’t model modern image but just had to buy one of these. It is a tremendous model at a very reasonable price. Great support for the Samaritans too. I love the lifetime guarantee which gives you confidence that the model is going to last. When Bachmann and Airfix came into the industry in the mid ‘70’s they had an immediate and transformational impact on the hobby. Accurascale is doing that again now! Bring it on Accurascale - I can’t wait for your next loco announcement!!!!!

Amazing, smooth, powerful and stunning. Great product

This is my favourite livery from the first batch and I sold my Hattons
model to pay for it !
Not a decision that I regret as this new version feels more solid and
appears to run smoother as well.
Unfortunately the hand rails on the front of each cab need re-attaching on my
example but nothing else of note.

Solid upgrade of the Hattons loco, fit and finish is 100 times better

Just a shame the orange shade wasn’t changed before production but never the less a wonderful gesture and massive donation for the Samaritans

This is the beast model loco to date. Wonderful livery, absolutely beautiful. Great detail and good perforormance.

Bought as a gift for a relative ,who is very pleased with it.
