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.

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.
One of the best 66’s I own
