Detailed Description
Detailed Description
Nearing the end of class 66 orders, production was shifted to Muncie in the USA. This change carried with it some subtle differences that we can see on this model. Named ‘Severn Valley Railway’ in 2016, it can be seen here with the current day ‘europorte’ branding removed.
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.

Thank you so much Accurascale for all the models you've produced to date. They are literally second to none! The unreliability and hefty prices of the two major competitors almost made abandon the hobby. I am absolutely delighted to add some 66’s to my fleet. What can I say that hasn't been said over & over? The model is absolute perfection and arrived in absolute perfect condition all the way to Australia because of the way it was packed.
Superb model, the modelling, sound and smooth running, what more could you ask for.
As someone who doesn't buy many new loco's this purchase has been the best. The quality of the model is top notch showing what can be achieved with modern production techniques at a reasonable price. The sound is excellent also and no cv adjustments were required to suit my layout. Brilliant, thank you.
The Loco body was relatively easy to remove in order to add a crew. Unfortunately, had to remove the cab which is not for the faint hearted. Once removed crew added and a bit of a struggle to get the cab back in. Body then fit perfectly. Front end was detailed using the multitude of parts provided. Sound is superb but the sound sheet could be better in indicating which are one off sounds or sounds that can are constantly on or off. Shunting is superb and top speed is prototypical of the loco - extremely pleased
Fantastic model. Great details and sound. A welcome addition to the fleet.
i think this is your best yet the detail is immense the lighting superb slow running and the sound is fantastic the rotating axels add plenty of reality and everything works strait from the box the overall paint job is great and of course the etched name plates are a bonus. I've ordered a class 60 lets just hope its up the standard of the 66 well done
Another great model from Accurascale
I would have been shocked had I wanted to give anything less than 5 stars for this loco.
The model is superb. Runs like a dream. Highly detailed and sounds great.
What more could you ask for? Well let me also add superb customer service. When a postal company 'mis-placed' my first loco. Simon/Patrick (and I'm sure others at Accurascale) did everything they could to make sure I had this wonderful model running on my layout. Thank you all so much.
One buffer was loose in the box. I have tried to fit it, but it remains loose.
Otherwise, the loco seems fine as hoped for.
My Class 66 found its way to Germany. In German, we woud say: Geile Maschine!
Great machine.
Another top model from accurascale. Runs smooth and sounds great.
I’ve had my GBRF 66 for a few days and took it out of the box today. The colours are stunning and the access to the DCC sound and controls centre is so much easier to access. Just four tiny magnets hold the section in, albeit mine came pre fitted with sound it’s nice to know. I tested it out on my test track on a rolling road. Very quiet both directions and speed steps fine. As ever it’s in the detail which Accurascale has seen to in its build quality.
Having never really been a fan of Hornby, bachmann has always had my vote, but now we have Accurascale, This is my third locomotive from them, 1 class 37, and 2 class 66, and the difference is phenomenal, the attention to detail is faultless, and running with dcc sound,lighting has really brought the models to life, only thing is the sounds are not as loud as I would like, but it’s probably only a matter of changing a cv setting,
I had the DCC sound version of GBRF 66673 and was away on holiday when it was due to be shipped, an email to Accurascale, and the shipment was held until I returned, that alone was excellent service, but when I received the Loco, I was blown away with the amount of detail, the crisp paintwork, and the stunning livery, on setting up on the rolling road, the Loco performed faultlessly on very low speeds and the sound file is excellent, so glad I had this model and two more, compared to the original Hattons model that this is based on, the Accurascale model is light years ahead, can’t wait now for my Class 50 and Class 60 👌🏻🙌🏻
The model was excellent 👍👍👍The packaging was rubbish
I liked everything. Fabulous locos!
Another excellent model from Accurascale, this is my third model from them the other two being class 37s. The detailing is of a very high standard and the sound a functions are excellent. The class 66 runs smoothly and pulls a rake of container flats up inclines with ease. I highly recommend this model also the class 37s.
Quite simply amazing level of detail and performance from our new shed (and we have 6½ from others). Brilliant work to refine the Hattons tooling. Accurascale move on with every release and the improved packaging (boxes on end of box), sound and light project, swappable bufferbeams and simply staggering creep speed (nothing we have can run slower) just made me smile. Always cautious handling given the fidelity but all perfect and the level of quality and value is off the charts.
Well worth the wait, paintwork is flawless as is it’s running. Would highly reccomend it. Very fast postage and well packaged
Excellent product and thoroughly pleased with it. Another gem from Accurascale.
Top quality in both detail and sound
Utterly blown away by the quality of the model, it looks and sounds the part and have a good finish and build quality
When produced by Hattons the 66 was far ahead of the competition. The Accurascale scale model has improved even on those high standards. Runs perfectly straight out of the box.
Another phenomenal model and great livery application. I've had a problem with the sound on the one I got - it was crackling and distorted unlike the other 66 I had.
Found a loose speaker connection to the main PCB. Quick email to accurascale and its off to the maintenance depot for repairs. I have no issues with this as things do go wrong but im confident it will be put right.
Otherwise it ran like a dream and brilliant at slow speeds. Another amazing model.
Brilliant
As expected, this latest loco looks superb and runs/sounds beautiful. I've fitted KaDee couplings which was easy and unlike some other manufacturers NEM pockets, the height and fit was spot on. Now comfortably pulling 8 Biomass wagons. Couldn't be better!
