The third class 66 to land on British soil back in 1998, 66004 was treated to its eye catching ‘Climate Hero’ livery during 2021 as part of a program to promote freight on rail by owners DB. The real 66004 runs on a diet of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, living up to its ‘climate hero’ credentials.

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 66!

This is my 4th Accurascale class 66! All have been received in perfect order. A superb model in every respect. Looking forward to the next production run. Will no doubt treat myself to another!

Stunning Loco. Not a thing out of place, runs like silk. Full independent lighting even on a basic Lais decoder. Well done guys (again).

'Modellers' Hero

Another loco by Accurascale reaching the very top end of quality models. The livery, the detail and also the inclusion of the front end already detailed makes this another great model and certainly pulls away from any other class 66 locomotives on the market. Great job AS keep them coming.

66004 DB The Climate Hero

As soon as this was released i know i had to get one and it certainty doesn't disappoint a step up from the Hatton's original release. For me Accurascale have made a massive improvement on this model overall from the decoration to the assembly all i can say it is one of the best members of the fleet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love the livery !
Not one that I was familiar with tbh and it could have gone so wrong !
The lines are crisp right down to the finest detail and as for the loco
itself it is probably Accurascales best yet !

The Green Machine

The green machine is an usual livery, a one off, and a stand out product, The best ever Class 66 model to be made, a lot of credit has to be given to Hattons but the improvements made to the original make this one of the leading models on the market today, the fit, finish, detail and running qualities are excellent.
