The Accurascale Class 66 EWS Maroon 66171 Diesel Locomotive is an OO scale model, representing the iconic English Welsh and Scottish (EWS) maroon and gold livery. This model is suitable for use on layouts from 438mm radius curves and can be used to represent the locomotive in its original condition, circa 1998-2008, or in its current state with additional warning labels.

The model is based on Accurascale's 'accura-standard' platform and features a highly detailed die-cast metal chassis, RP25-110 profile OO wheels, and separately applied etched metal and plastic detail parts. Additional features include a full underframe tank detail, fully sprung buffers, and factory-fitted pipework and screw couplings.

The model is DCC sound-fitted, with a PowerPack capacitor for uninterrupted power and a customised Dual-Speaker Technology system. The DCC features include a 21-pin socket and a Hall sensor for a flange squeal effect. The High Performance Traction features a five-pole motor with two flywheels, gearing to achieve a minimum scale top speed of 75mph, and all-wheel drive and pickup.

The model also features a fully detailed Lighting Pack, including directional lighting, DC and DCC, switchable red and white marker lights with day/night options, and separately switched cab lighting.
