Tynnu’r llinell gynhyrchu i ben ar ôl 18 mlynedd a channoedd lawer o locomotifau oedd 66779. Roedd y locomotif hwn wedi’i orffen yn arbennig mewn gwyrdd wedi’i leinio gan y Rheilffyrdd Prydeinig ac fe’i henwwyd yn “Evening Star”. Roedd y loco hefyd yn cario clychau coffa uwchben ffenestri'r caban a phlac yn dynodi ei arwyddocâd yn stori Dosbarth 66. Roedd ei ymddangosiad yn adlewyrchu ymddangosiad BR dosbarth 9F 92220, Evening Star a ddaeth â'r llen i lawr ar gyfer cynhyrchu stêm ar gyfer Rheilffyrdd Prydain yn enwog. Mewn seremoni ddadorchuddio yng Nghaerefrog ar 10 Mai 2016, addawodd Prif Swyddog Gweithredol GBRf, John Smith y locomotif i'r Amgueddfa Reilffordd Genedlaethol pan fydd yn cyrraedd diwedd ei oes gwasanaeth disgwyliedig. Yn dal i gario ei lifrai gwyrdd arbennig gyda leinin BR, gellir ei weld yn gweithio ar draws y wlad ar bob math o weithfeydd GBRf.

Mae ein model Dosbarth 66 yn seiliedig ar y platfform 'safon gywir' sydd wedi ennill gwobrau, gyda bogies chwe-echel pob-olwyn wedi'u pweru, modur dwbl pwerus wedi'i osod ar olwynion hedfan a phecyn electroneg sy'n arwain y farchnad.

YET ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM ACCURASCALE

Well I'm not surprised anymore when opening a loco from accurascale from the packaging and the loco box all oozes sheer class and of coarse not forgetting the contents in the box .Both the sight sound and performance of the evening star was second to none......So glad I waited until Accurascale came up with this rare beauty and I was going to get one from Bachmann but so glad I didn't. Whoever manages to get their hands on one of these won't be disappointed. It's outstanding.

Chuffed to Bits with Evening Star!

I am delighted to get my hands on this exclusive and historical model and my first impressions are this is ging to be a favourite runner for many years. I had the crew well before my loco arrived and this will add to the detail the model possesses. It programmed flawlessly and the sound file is exceptional.
Congratulations Accurascale on hitting a high spot and keep up the great work you do.

Best in the class

Another beautiful 66 from Accurscale. When the spares came up I couldn’t resist myself and grab my 5th.

Does not disappoint, the livery and detail on the loco are crisp, the running performance is super and the sound plus lights just round off what may just be the best OO scale locomotive I have ever seen.

66779 Evening Star

Another excellent Accurascale model. Great detail, flawless livery application and runs smoothly out of the box, right down to a crawl with none of the flaws of its Hattons predecessor.
