All I can say is wow. I'd seen a lot of reviews before mine arrived, so expectations were high, and it didn't disappoint. Incredibly detailed model which ran faultlessly, even at very low crawling speeds. The sound was also very impressive. If I could afford it, I'd buy another one!
i love this model so much, so glad i was able to get one in the end, i have had it running every day on my TMD and it sounds great, thank you Accurascale.
Fantastic looking loco, colour really pops, very well detailed. It runs smoothly and sound amazing
This is a simply stunning model. Straight out of the box, it runs like a dream and sounds amazing. The printing is exquisite especially given the complex leaf logo. A true heavyweight coming in around the 0.8kg mark with hauling capacity to match the prototype. Numerous sound, light and running functions for ultimate play factor. Numerous advancements on its Hatton’s predecessor which was also a top notch model. Even the axle boxes have stayed in place on my rally course of a railway!
Another fantastic loco from Accurascale , the loco will pull anything throw at it not a sniff on my inclines good weight and details on the loco
Very nice model and excellent runner with plenty of pulling power
Striking colours and a great sound file. lovely!
First class loco arrived in a couple of days no faults whatsoever my fourth 66.
A beautiful detailed model and smooth running,and nice sounding.
Another excellent class 66 from Accurascale. Runs well, sounds great and the livery application is really good.
Took just over a week to arrive and was well packaged. Detail is great, livery is wonderful, and it runs extremely well. No noise at all with the sound off, and with the sound on ... how do they pack so much sound into such a small space?
Another Accurascale highly detailed smooth running model with superb sound.
These class 66,s have hit the mark what more can you say
Excellent loco!
Excellent model and sound quality. Good value for the price.
Another great addition to the loco roster. Smooth running, great detail and a great price
Excellent all around model
A superbly detailed loco, with enough weight to move mountains.
amazing how small companies are able to outdo and revolutionize locomotives. from the stay alive and reliability. more and more of my locos are now accurascale! keep it up!
Absolutely stunning model great detail smooth runner great features
Ordered all the 66s and this is by far my favourite. Livery application is superb and the sound as well as detail is exceptional.
Yet another great loco from Accurascale designers & builders. Pity other parts of the business are so poor. I was charged for 3 other 66's without notice for payment & well before the boat had even docked. Against all Accurascale claim in not charging you before they have the products in their possession & will notify you of any charge to be taken from your account. You also need to be aware you cannot trade off your reward tokens (money previously earned by being a loyal customer) against an order unless you actually do it at point of order. Sharp practice in my view. Great Loco's though.
As usual an excellent model. An upgrade on the Hattons model.
Great sound & body detail.
So pleased that with this model 66 it all works as it should out of the box, the Hattons model finished off to what it should have been and then some, a delight for modern day modelling.
Having a few of the Hattons version of the class sixty sixes, I can say that this model doesn't have any of the old issues at all. Inside the model has certainly been improved. The wiring is a lot more sturdier for one. The sound files used are of the expected high quality, although the horns are a bit muffled. The speaker may not have been a lot of people's first choice, but it still gives a very high quality sound. I'll certainly be adding more sound fitted class sixty sixes to my collection.
A fabulous upgrade on the already excellent Hattons model. Looks great, sounds great, runs great!
