Clas 66 - DRS - 66421 - DCC Sound Fitted

The DRS Class 66 is one of those locomotives that immediately catches the eye, and Accurascale has done an excellent job of reproducing it. The livery is beautifully finished, with sharp printing, vibrant colours and an exceptional level of separately fitted detail that gives the model a real presence on the layout.
The factory-fitted ESU LokSound decoder is excellent, producing a rich and authentic Class 66 soundtrack with plenty of depth and volume. Performance is equally impressive, with silky-smooth slow-speed running, dependable pickups and a stay-alive that performs exactly as it should, allowing the locomotive to glide confidently over pointwork and less-than-perfect track.
What has particularly impressed me is the consistency of the Class 66 compared with my experience of Accurascale’s Class 37 Batch 3 run. I purchased all of the Class 37 Batch 3 variants, and around 40% of the sound-fitted examples I received had issues of some kind, including detail parts not fitted correctly at the factory, excessive oil, or parts missing. By contrast, I have not had any of those issues with the Accurascale Class 66 locomotives I have purchased.
The lighting functions further enhance the realism, while the quality of construction and finish gives the model a genuine premium feel. Everything works together exactly as you would hope from a flagship ready-to-run locomotive.
Having built up a collection of more than 55 Accurascale locomotives, I continue to find that their larger diesel locomotives can represent some of the very best models on the market when the quality control is right. This Class 66 is an excellent example of what the company is capable of when everything comes together.
A superb locomotive that looks fantastic, sounds excellent and performs reliably. Highly recommended.

The overwhelming acclaim of excellence with regards to this manufactures product is well known and this particular version of Class 66 is by no means an exception. This is one of two models which I have in this particular DRS livery and looks the part when hauling a lengthy rake of my Intermodal wagons produced by REALTRACK.

It was the DRS story that got me back into modelling more modern image with my very first purchase being Accurascale DRS 37609. My new DRS Class 66 is a continuation and I must say that I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.

The ultimate DRED. Beautiful paint, astonishing sound file and looks fantastic parked with the earlier release of 66122.

I’m so pleased with the 66 – it’s another excellent Accurascale locomotive. Now run-in, it’ll be a superb addition to my DRS fleet of Accurascale PFAs, FNA-Ds and KUA.

Nicely modelled

Just received my Clas 66, as usual excellent packaging, but a smaller box could be used. The Loco looks very good and the body comes off quite easily to fit the crew. A lot simpler than the Hattons versions. The loco runs very smooth and the sounds are, as always, excellent. I didn’t really need this loco, but with the 30% off offer, I could not, not take advantage of it at that price. Overall, very pleased with my new Class 66.

A great model of a DRS 66/4 Shed, can we get one in the Stobart livery for a future run!

Great product great price and service

Another great 66 from Accurascale I always wanted one in this livery but others had preference, I have got it now and it is running well.

Superb model and service from the warranty team. Many thanks.
