När produktionslinjen avslutades efter 18 år och många hundra lok var 66779. Detta lok var specialbearbetat i British Railways grönt fodrat och skulle få namnet "Evening Star". Loket bar också minnesklockor ovanför hyttens fönster och en plakett som anger dess betydelse i klass 66-historien. Dess utseende återspeglade det hos BR klass 9F 92220, Evening Star som välkände drog ner ridån för ångproduktion för British Railways. I en avtäckningsceremoni i York den 10 maj 2016 lovade GBRfs vd, John Smith loket till National Railway Museum när det når slutet av sin förväntade livslängd. Med sitt speciella BR-fodrade gröna liv kan den ses arbeta över hela landet på alla möjliga GBRf-arbeten.

Vår klass 66-modell är baserad på den prisbelönta "accura-standard"-plattformen, med fyrhjulsdrivna sexaxlade boggier, en kraftfull motor med dubbla svänghjul och marknadsledande elektronikpaket.

Amazing 66779

This is a massive improvement from the Hattons 66 and I had to get this exclusive as I have seen it at the Old Oak Common Open Day in 2017 which is my favourite 66 as it's in the Brunswick Green Livery

Wow!

Wow! What a beautifully smooth running loco. I was never fortunate enough to get a Hattons version, but snapped this one up as soon as I could. It is just an all round great model! Well done!

The Last Class 66 Dieselized Evening Star.

What have we here, says you. Well it is part 2 of two locomotives from Accurascale scale named the first and last exclusives. The Class 66 is one of the biggest locomotive fleet ever built to run on UK tracks. This one GBRF 66779 in the BR Green named 'Evening Star' livery being the last in the number built. As per usual with the manufacturer it is of exquisite detail, printing and running performance. As a fan of the BR Green livery worn by the named steam Britania Class engine, I had to buy this beautifully presented locomotive. One can do no wrong in having a couple of this class engine running around a layout.

Evening Star

Great model, very nicely detailed and runs very smoothly. The box art is very nice too!

Fantastic model

Yet another fantastic model from Accurascale. I was fortunate to get one of the "spare" models after the initial batch sold out.

Accurascale have done a great job of sorting out the problems with the original Hattons' version of this model and the rotating axle box issue seems to have been solved, subject to longer running. Separating the body from the chassis is a lot easier now, it took about 10 minutes to remove the body, replace the buffer beam, add crew and replace the body, and no sign of any damage to the ladders.

Beautiful model

You open the box and Wow, what a beautiful model, perfect satin sheen. You lift the loco out and it feels like quality - heavyweight, detailed but not fragile. You put it on the track and it runs perfectly straight from the box. The assurance of a lifetime warrantly. £170 and worth every penny. This is what buying a model should feel like every time. Thank you Accurascale for making me feel that valued as a customer and for allowing me to enjoy such a beautiful model.

Wonderful Model

Really quite exquisite model. The manufacturing is to a high standard and the decoration is flawless, despite the complexity of the livery on Evening Star. Lovely rendition of colouring. Very fine bell fitted uniquely on this example. Arrived with all bits attached to the model. Runs generally smoothly although slight judder which I hope will disappear with running in, otherwise I've no doubt Accurascale support will resolve. Box is very attractive.

What a STAR!

Fabulous Evening from the Accurascale boys yet again!
Previous 'other' versions were good, this is much better and i look forward to the 66 being a mainstay of the Accurascale fleet for many a year to come.
