Manufacturer description

The third class 66 to land on British soil back in 1998, 66004 was treated to its eye catching ‘Climate Hero’ livery during 2021 as part of a program to promote freight on rail by owners DB. The real 66004 runs on a diet of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, living up to its ‘climate hero’ credentials.

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.

Accurascale has produced a model of the Class 66 diesel locomotive, specifically the DB Schenker / DB Cargo UK variant, DB 'Climate Hero' Green 66004. This model is a highly detailed OO scale representation of the real locomotive, which was introduced to the UK rail network in 1998. The model features a die-cast metal chassis, separately applied etched metal and plastic detail parts, and RP25-110 profile OO wheels.

The Class 66 model is based on Accurascale's award-winning 'accura-standard' platform, with a powerful twin flywheel fitted motor and market-leading electronics package. The locomotive is DCC sound-fitted, with a high-performance traction system featuring a five-pole motor and two flywheels. The model is also DCC ready, with a power pack capacitor for uninterrupted power.

The model features a range of deluxe and DCC features, including a customised dual-speaker technology, hall sensor for flange squeal effect, and a fully detailed lighting pack with directional lighting, DC and DCC. The model is designed for use on a minimum radius curve of 438mm (2nd radius set-track), and is supplied with a range of separately switched lighting options, including red and white marker lights with day/night options.

The model is a scaled representation of the real locomotive's Class 66 specification, with a wheel arrangement of Co-Co and a built date of 1998 to 2008. The model is part of the Class 66 range, which represents the initial privatisation period of the UK rail network.
