Aicme 66 - GBRF BR - 66789

Fantastic and lovely loco, very hefty. A perfect runner for a long line of wagons

Great detailing as usual with livery well reproduced.

Really impressed with the Accurascale Class 66 — the detail is spot‑on and it runs beautifully. They’ve captured the essence of the real loco, and it’s a joy to have on the layout.

Genius Design of Roof for DCC Access. Instant and effortless access.

Its weight, reliability, decoration, and pulling capacity are truly top‑notch.

This is another superb Class 66 from Accurascale and the distinctive GBRf BR livery on 66789 is particularly well executed. The finish is crisp, the fine details are neatly fitted and the locomotive has a reassuringly solid feel.
I purchased the DCC-ready version and subsequently fitted a LokSound decoder. Installation is refreshingly straightforward because the decoder socket is accessed through the removable roof panel, rather than having to unclip and remove the entire body. This is one of the strongest features of the original Hattons design and greatly reduces the risk of damaging or loosening body-retaining clips.

Running performance has been excellent, with smooth low-speed control, reliable electrical pickup and no problems negotiating pointwork. Once fitted with the LokSound decoder, the locomotive performs and sounds extremely good.

My only regret is not purchasing the factory sound-fitted version originally, as it would have been considerably better value than buying the decoder separately afterwards. Nevertheless, the DCC-ready option gives owners useful flexibility. In contrast to the quality-control problems I have experienced with some Class 37s, Accurascale’s Class 66 has proved dependable and exceptionally well engineered.

I bought this one as I like the livery. The loco is brilliant and looks stunning. Detail and running is outstanding. A must for any modern layout.

Fantastic livery, great runner and powerful to haul a long train, thoroughly recommended!

Beautiful locomotive and this livery suits this class 66.

My 3rd 66 couldn’t resist beautiful livery well applied beautiful model

66789 is a joy to run, heavy, pulls with ease and looks the part with it's great paint and livery Only issue is the magnetic panel stops being flush as you use it to change decoder.

Fantastic model, very smooth and quiet and livery application is first class !
So why only 4 1/2 stars ?
It’s a minor thing, but seems to effect a number of loco’s, the handrails around
the cab need glueing in place.
Otherwise I cannot fault it.

This is my first Accurascale loco and it has certainly met my (very high!) expectations. Loco looks amazing (especially the rotating axle boxes, takes realism to another level!)
Great details (including directional lighting and etched nameplates supplied). Smooth running (including at low speeds). Its a wonderful loco and i couldn't be happier with it! (and I'm only a DC user so I'm probably not seeing the half of this locos features!)

I’m never disappointed with Accurascale – excellent model and the livery is superb.

This loco is my favourite 66 to date, bring the modern freight loco together with iconic large logo BR livery. The quality and build are exemplary as usual from Accurascale.

The Class 66 model is great! It is very heavy giving that feel of a large diesel. The running is superb, the loco never stalls and is packed with features such as working lights. The detail is fantastic and exactly as expected from Accurascale. The ultra smooth running, coupled with its quiet motor allows easy enjoyment with the model. One slight criticsm is the NEM couplings. They pivot 'too much' with certain rolling stock coupled behind it making the train derail. This isn't an issue if I use other pivoting couplings on rolling stock directly behind the loco, but is something I picked up on. Everything else is brilliant!

Love this retro livery of this class 66789 thank you accurascale.

great retro livery on this class 66

Another impressive paint job on this fantastically produced class. Like my other accurascale 66s runs flawless, looks amazing & adds another livery to the already colourful layout. Look forward to the next batch!

An excellent model , Runs very well , looks superb , a credit to the company , and a 1st class addition to my layout .

The EMD Class 66 is a superb model built with exceptional attention to both detail and accuracy. From the high-class packaging to the model itself they went out of their way to show why they are easily among the best manufacturers currently on the market. For any avid collector with an interest in European diesels this model with its unique livery is a must.

Accurascale delivering excellence as always, love this model! Third accura 66 in my collection!

Superb model,nothing fallen off and runs perfectly straight out of the box.Very quiet motor.Lots of fine detail and a good price too.I have previously bought a similar Accurascale class 66 which was also a fantastic model.
I think that Accurascale is the Rolls Royce of model railway manufacturing.
The class 60 is also a fantastic model which I couldn’t fault.Very well done Accurascale.

A garden shed worthy of our attention. Yet again we have another gem of an Accurascale offering in the form of this beast in an eye catching ex BR livery. As always, as long as the plethora of details remains affixed to the loco then all should be good with the world. Well done team. Keep it up and please, please, please bring us some class 81s, 82s, 83s, 84s and 85s to fill the void left by these untapped stallions. Cheers.

Another outstanding model from Accurascale.
