More info

Approaching 25 years old and still in its original maroon and gold, 66171 has had a few additional warning labels but still carries the moniker of its original owner, EWS. A real go anywhere locomotive and is suitable for use right up to the present day.

Our Class 66 model is based on the award winning ‘accura-standard’ platform, with all-wheel powered six-axle bogies, a powerful twin flywheel fitted motor and market leading electronics package.

Another excellent loco!

I knew what to expect visually, having previously owned Hattons versions, but even on a very basic DC controller and a rolling road the smooth, silent power is obvious. It's good also to see reliably working axleboxes!
Altogether highly recommended...

Another outstanding loco from Accurascale. Detail and running performance is amazing, livery application is crisp and the service from the company is second to none

New Class 66 (00 gauge)

Very nice loco with lots of fine detail. Good runner and good crawler too. Out of my 7 locos (3 Dapol, 1 Hornby, 2 Bachmann) this is my finest traction - and at a reasonable price. Well done Accurascale.

Just like the real thing...just smaller!

Fantastic looking, runs smoothly, can't ask for any more really!

The Best Shed

Is this the ultimate Shed? Quite possibly, yes!
Packed with detail and improved electronics, it extends far from the Hattons original.
