Nuair a tháinig 66001 ar ithir na Breataine ag 08:53 ar an 18 Aibreán 1998, tháinig tús nua le haghaidh lastais iarnróid na Breataine, an chéad cheann de na céad inneall gluaiste de chineál a dhéanfadh réabhlóidiú ar Railfreight trasna. an RA (agus an Eoraip). Bhí roinnt difríochtaí caolchúiseacha idir an chéad dá cheann agus an chuid eile den bhaisc táirgthe nach ndearnadh a mhacasamhlú riamh ar mhúnla. Ar an gcéad dul síos, bhí na súile buailte chun an locomotive a dhaingniú ar an long i riocht difriúil ó mhúnlaí níos déanaí. Bhí an gríl adharc suite chomh maith beagnach flush leis an gcorp. Bhí cuma níos suntasaí ar 66001 mar gheall ar a ghríleanna dearga a athraíodh go dubh níos déanaí.

Tá ár múnla Aicme 66 bunaithe ar an ardán ‘cruinn-chaighdeánach’ a bhfuil duaiseanna buaite aige, le bogaí sé-acastóir uile-chumhachtaithe, mótarfheithiclí cumhachtach cúpla rotha feistithe agus pacáiste leictreonaice chun tosaigh sa mhargadh.

What have we here, says you. Well it is part 1 of two locomotives from Accurascale scale named the first and last exclusives. The Class 66 is one of the biggest locomotive fleet ever built to run on UK tracks. This one EWS 66001 in their Maroon/Gold livery being the first in the number built. As per usual with the manufacturer it is of exquisite detail, printing and running performance. As a fan of the EWS livery and branded rolling stock I had to buy this beautifully presented locomotive. One can do no wrong in having a couple of this class engine running around a layout.

Class 66 (66001)

This is the second Class 66 Diesel I have purchased from Accurascale, and as with the first model, the level of detail is superb. The colour scheme is very impressive. There was a slight issue with Royal Mail in that they lost my parcel in transit, but having contacted Accurascale this issue was resolved. Consequently, the delivery time was longer than expected (three and half weeks).

Wonderful model

I have several of the Hattons Sheds and I was keen to see the results of the Accurascale magic wand - and I was not not surprised. Excellent detail and a superb model in every way. Will Accurascale be selling any 'upgrade' parts for the old Hattons model? I hope it is possible!

Wow, Accurascale, the punked up Hatton's models are superb. The body livery colours of the EWS are bright and bold. Chrisp edges and fine lining are prevalent all around the locomotive. The detailing, well, what can I say, Accurascale really do put a lot of effort into their releases. A look along the sole bar at the fine cable/conduits etx are outstanding, as is the norm from the company. With so much detail to look at, they are an impressive model loco to see. The Class 66s are defaintly not the first and last to come from Accurascale's warehouses in the future.
