Approaching 25 years old and still in its original maroon and gold, 66171 has had a few additional warning labels but still carries the moniker of its original owner, EWS. A real go anywhere locomotive and is suitable for use right up to the present day.

The definitive 66

Great to see this 66 in production again, with all the necessary corrections. Looks and runs nice... hoping to see more diverse liveries (TFL 66s)

Legendary Cl 66 Model

Since I already have an award-winning 66, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that this is at least as good. I enjoyed reading the history of the class in the insert and was actually impressed with how smoothly it runs. There were no problems. Putting the driver into the number 1 driving cabin was not difficult, although the warnings were ominous. This is excellence and what I expect from Accurascale. Bravo Rob
