Klasse 66 – Colas – 66849 – DCC Sound Fitted

When it comes to livery application I thought my previous purchase of the Accurascale EWS and Freightliner Class 66 models was first class but this latest release in the Colas Rail Class 66 livery definitely has that all important wow factor and to an even greater level! It's my first loco in this livery and probably not my last.

Another excellent class 66 model

Hats off to you guys for another great model which lives up to my expiation.

Fantastic attention to detail as usual from Accurascale. Great sound set up, think the best ready to run out of the box. One buffer damaged in transit but great communication from the team to resolve.

With my layout still being built, it will be useful to have this one on the front of all the track laying and ballast trains.

Again another wonderful loco product. Straight out of the box ran so smooth with fantastic sound on board. This weighty loco looks so good with a lode of wagons following behind..

Love the Class 66 and this model really captures the look and sound. There are a lot of models off 66 available from different manufacturers. You can't beat the detail on this one.

This model is a definite improvement on the Hattons original. You no longer have to worry about the rotating axle caps coming off as soon as you look at them, removing the body to fit crew is now a 5 minute job, because you don't have to stick everything back on, and the standard of finish is excellent. Don't get me wrong, the Hattons model was good, but it did have faults, which Accurascale have fixed.

As you would expect, the paint job is excellent.

However, there is a big problem with this model. I just keep wanting more of them, but can't afford it.

This is a welcome addition to my models as being a Durham lad Wylam is local and it pulled coal out of Weardale for a while .
Colas is one I did not bother in the Hattons models so it’s kind of special
As always the model from Accurascale is top drawer.

Crisp livery. Looks stunning. Sounds and runs even better
