Read Prototype Information

The model represents our biggest project to date, engineered from the ground-up using the very latest design and production techniques - with an all-new tooling, comprehensive detailing and a myriad of features at an affordable price. We want to produce the definitive modern era OO gauge loco and with the Class 66 now entering its third decade - we think there is no better time to do so.

Our range showcases usage of the locomotives by EWS, DB Schenker, Euro Cargo Rail, Freightliner, Direct Rail Services, GBRf and Colas Rail. This means that the lifespan of the 66 is thoroughly covered, with a variety of tooling variations and loco-specific modifications on show. You can explore the vast range of features and tooling variations that are included in the model below.
