A’ tarraing na loidhne riochdachaidh gu crìch an dèidh 18 bliadhna agus na ceudan de locomotaibhean b’ e 66779. Chaidh an locomotaibh seo a chrìochnachadh gu sònraichte ann an uaine le Rèile Bhreatainn air an lìnigeadh uaine agus bha i gu bhith air ainmeachadh mar “Evening Star”. Bha glagan cuimhneachaidh air an loco cuideachd os cionn uinneagan a’ chaba agus clàr a’ comharrachadh cho cudromach sa bha e ann an sgeulachd Clas 66. Bha a choltas a’ nochdadh coltas BR clas 9F 92220, Evening Star a thug sìos an cùirtear ainmeil airson cinneasachadh smùid dha Rèile Bhreatainn. Aig cuirm foillseachaidh ann an Iorc air 10 Cèitean 2016, gheall Ceannard GBRf, Iain Mac a’ Ghobhainn an locomotaibh do Thaigh-tasgaidh Nàiseanta na Rèile nuair a ruigeas e deireadh a bheatha seirbheis ris an robh dùil. Fhathast a’ giùlan a shuaicheantas uaine sònraichte le lìn BR, chithear e ag obair air feadh na dùthcha air a h-uile seòrsa de dh’ obair GBRf.

Tha am modail Clas 66 againn stèidhichte air an àrd-ùrlar ‘accura-standard’ a choisinn duaisean, le bogies sia-aiseil le cumhachd uile-chuibhlichean, inneal-motair cumhachdach le cuibhle-itealain dùbailte agus pasgan eileagtronaigeach air thoiseach air a’ mhargaidh.

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.
