Gedetailleerde beschrijving
De Brush Class 60 was de laatste stand van de door de Britten ontworpen en gebouwde dieselelektrische locomotief. Van concept tot levering in iets meer dan 18 maanden was de bouw van deze 100 locomotieven sterke klasse ronduit indrukwekkend.
Ze waren ontworpen als een zware goederenlocomotief in plaats van een locomotief voor gemengd verkeer, maar werden al snel ingezet op diverse treinen voor de kolen-, petroleum-, aggregaat- en metaalsector. Alle 100 locomotieven passeerden de schaduwfranchises voordat ze in 1996 eigendom werden van EWS. Betrouwbaar, efficiënt en krachtig, maakten ze naam met het trekken van de zwaarste treinen door het hele land.
Na een dieptepunt, toen veel machines met veel motoruren waren opgeslagen, is er nu een opleving gaande bij bedrijven als DCR en GBRF die hun vloten met vliegtuigen uit de klasse 60 inzetten waarvoor ze zijn gebouwd.
De Accurascale Class 60 is het resultaat van jarenlang zorgvuldig onderzoek en is gebouwd met behulp van gegevens van 3D-scans, metingen en originele penseeltekeningen. We hebben het geluk gehad te kunnen putten uit de ervaring en kennis van mensen die hebben gewerkt aan de ingebruikname van Class 60 tot en met degenen die ze nu reviseren.
Dankzij deze toegang konden we de meest uitgebreide reeks gereedschappen ontwikkelen voor de ultieme klasse 60.
Ons model weegt maar liefst 825 gram, waardoor de krachtige 5-polige motor en vierwielaandrijving de zwaarste treinen net als in het echt kunnen trekken. Een complexe lichtinstallatie (inclusief verlichting in de radiatorkamer en de bedieningstafel) en een Accurathrash-luidspreker maken het geheel compleet.

After just 10 months, the glue holding one grille has failed and a buffer has also detached. The locomotive has never been run and has simply been kept in storage, making this particularly disappointing.
The dreaded china glue failure strikes again! I have experienced similar problems with other manufacturers, but that does not make it acceptable. Delicate detailing is one thing; parts coming off an unused model is another.
Time to put Accurascale’s lifetime warranty to the test and see how these faults are resolved.
I bought this locomotive last year and was extremely happy with it. In my opinion, the Accurascale Class 60 offers the best combination of price, detail and overall quality of any Class 60 currently on the market.
It is significantly better than my more expensive Cavalex version, which has a serious running-gear problem that has still not been resolved. The Accurascale model looks superb, runs well and represents much better value for money.
Unfortunately, the recent hot weather appears to have exposed a possible weakness with the adhesive used on this and some other Accurascale models. On this Class 60, a side grille and one of the front buffers have simply become detached. As the photographs show, the components do not appear to be broken. They seem to have come away where they were originally glued.
Hornby has been heavily criticised in the past for components becoming detached because of adhesive problems, and it is only fair that Accurascale should be held to the same standard when similar issues occur. Highly detailed models also need to remain securely assembled over time, including during periods of hot weather.
I still believe this is the best Class 60 model available for its price and overall quality, but the detached grille and buffer are very disappointing. I am hoping Accurascale will repair the locomotive under its lifetime warranty, and I will update this review once I know how the matter has been handled.
Superbly applied EWS livery, takes you right back to the late '90s, with accurate colour rendition for a freshly applied livery, paired with the best 60 in the market, smooth powerful all-wheel-drive and great etched grilles to let you view the packed interior detail. Fantastic model!
This model is the best runner in my collection. ACC Class 60 is definitive Class 60. Super heavy and great livery application.
The best Class 60 on the market, superb recreation of the EWS livery and an accurate shape that captures the rugged look to a tee! The locomotive is a smooth running with ridiculously large pulling power, really impressed!
Accurascale Class 60 in EWS livery really is a heavy weight locomotive in model form. As well as this traction effort the model boasts plenty of printing, decoration, and the fantastic detailing we are accustomed to. If you're after a model of the Class 60 for your fleet, one of the Accurascale locomotives is a greatest choice for the included features and the price.
Another great loco from Accurascale.
Unfortunately mine arrived with a broken hand rail below the window.
Accurascale are going to send out a spare replacement once they have the spare part in stock.
lovley smooth runner beautiful loco
Superb model, lovely detail
Another stunning model for an ever growing collection!
A rivals model was often quoted as the standard others were judged against. I have to say that I have now disposed of the rival models and replaced with this superior model. This team keeps delivering.
Any chance of the 58 😉
Another great addition to the collection.
Very pleased with it, waiting to fit a sound decoder
Another superb model ,thank you. Can not wait for more
Absolutely superb model! So pleased with this excellent reproduction of the original. & It ran like a dream straight out if the box 5* all round
This is an excellent model which really looks the part and performs great too straight from the box. The illuminated cab dials is a great feature and it just works as it should. The sprung couplings don't pull off the rolling stock like some models do. There was one broken handrail but one email and a spare was sent out to me straight away, don't get better service than that.
Excellent service and excellent item thank you Chris t 👍 love ews .yellow and maroon
This is the second Class 60 Diesel I have purchased from Accurascale. As with all Accurascale models, the detail is of a very high standard, together with the EWS livery. The model was packaged very well and the delivery time from Royal Mail was excellent. Overall, I am very pleased with my latest purchase from Accurascale.
Where do I start? From its mighty weight to its near silent running, this model is a 10 out of 10, IMO. It just looks & feels like a class 60. Also, the customer support I received when I encountered a minor issue regarding the front buffer beam was quick, efficient and effective.
An excellent job by all at Accurascale. I just wish I'd managed to buy IKB as well!
Amazing quality and a technically incredible model. Would be amazing at peak market price, but worth a special mention at a price point that most of us have at least a chance of meeting.
where do I start. As always the finish looks top notch. I have yet to fire it up in anger, having forgot to order the speaker which now appears out of stock.
An other splendid model by Accurascale. Very heavy, very well detailed,full of small realistic parts and very well painted. Proud of it in my collection. Great model indeed !
Only one word needed "Excellent"
Great model
Clearly the best Accurascale loco so far even though the others have been xcellent too. I love the clear plastic couplings and the decor. I would like analogue models to have better features such as stay alive, delayed extinguishing of lights, and powered fans when appropriate.With such good cabin lighting this loco needs a crew, Accurascale should consider a generic fitted crew, leaving ultimate collectors to replace them or redecorate to their satisfaction?
This is a wonderful addition to my collection, great and highly detailed model.
What an absolute beast of a model , looks great with great detail
