Ba é 66779 an líne tháirgthe a tharraingt chun deiridh tar éis 18 mbliana agus na céadta inneall gluaiste. Bhí an locomotive seo críochnaithe go speisialta le glas líneáilte Iarnróid na Breataine agus tugadh “Evening Star” air. Bhí cloigíní cuimhneacháin ar an loco freisin os cionn fuinneoga an chábáin agus plaic a léirigh a thábhacht i scéal Rang 66. Ba léiriú é a chuma ar aicme BR 9F 92220, Evening Star a thug an cuirtín anuas go cáiliúil le haghaidh táirgeadh gaile d’Iarnróid na Breataine. I searmanas nochta i Eabhrac an 10 Bealtaine 2016, gheall Príomhfheidhmeannach GBRf, John Smith an locomotive don Mhúsaem Náisiúnta Iarnróid nuair a shroichfidh sé deireadh a shaol seirbhíse ionchais. Fós ag iompar a shreabhadh glas speisialta le líneáil BR, is féidir é a fheiceáil ag obair ar fud na tíre ar gach cineál oibreacha GBRf.
Tá ár múnla Aicme 66 bunaithe ar an ardán 'cruinn-chaighdeán' a bhuaigh duaiseanna, le bogies sé-acastóir faoi thiomáint uile-roth, pacáiste mótair chumhachtach dhá roth eitilte feistithe agus leictreonaic chun tosaigh sa mhargadh.
Lighting and DCC Specifics
What have we here, says you. Well it is part 2 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 GBRF 66779 in the BR Green named 'Evening Star' livery being the last in the number built. As per usual with the manufacturer it is of exquisite detail, printing and running performance. As a fan of the BR Green livery worn by the named steam Britania Class engine, 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.
Great model, very nicely detailed and runs very smoothly. The box art is very nice too!
Yet another fantastic model from Accurascale. I was fortunate to get one of the "spare" models after the initial batch sold out.
Accurascale have done a great job of sorting out the problems with the original Hattons' version of this model and the rotating axle box issue seems to have been solved, subject to longer running. Separating the body from the chassis is a lot easier now, it took about 10 minutes to remove the body, replace the buffer beam, add crew and replace the body, and no sign of any damage to the ladders.
You open the box and Wow, what a beautiful model, perfect satin sheen. You lift the loco out and it feels like quality - heavyweight, detailed but not fragile. You put it on the track and it runs perfectly straight from the box. The assurance of a lifetime warrantly. £170 and worth every penny. This is what buying a model should feel like every time. Thank you Accurascale for making me feel that valued as a customer and for allowing me to enjoy such a beautiful model.
Really quite exquisite model. The manufacturing is to a high standard and the decoration is flawless, despite the complexity of the livery on Evening Star. Lovely rendition of colouring. Very fine bell fitted uniquely on this example. Arrived with all bits attached to the model. Runs generally smoothly although slight judder which I hope will disappear with running in, otherwise I've no doubt Accurascale support will resolve. Box is very attractive.
Absolute perfection. A superb model in every way. If only all model locomotives were like this!
Brilliant
Fabulous Evening from the Accurascale boys yet again!
Previous 'other' versions were good, this is much better and i look forward to the 66 being a mainstay of the Accurascale fleet for many a year to come.
I love my Hattons Class 66’s but Accurascale have refined this model to perfection! Details, coupling heights (for Kadee) are perfect and very smooth running motor makes for a flawless model. I want to buy more if they do another run and I highly recommend this loco to anyone!
Keep up the great work Accurascale - I’m now looking forward to the Class 60
Nothing short of greatness by Accurascale.
