Manufacturer description

The Brush Class 60 was the last stand of the British designed and built diesel electric locomotive. From concept to delivery in little over 18 months the construction of this 100 strong class was nothing short of impressive.
Designed as a heavy freight locomotive rather than a mixed traffic type, they soon went to work on a variety of trains for the Coal, Petroleum, Aggregate and Metals sectors. All 100 locomotives passed through the shadow franchises before coming under the ownership of EWS in 1996. Reliable, efficient and powerful, they made a name for themselves hauling the heaviest of trains across the country.
Following a low point with many stored with high engine hours, there is a resurgence happening with the likes of DCR and GBRF who are utilising their fleets of class 60’s for what they were built for.
The Accurascale class 60 is the product of many years of careful research and constructed using data from 3D scans, surveys and original Brush drawings. We have been very lucky to be able to draw on the experience and knowledge from people who worked on the commissioning of Class 60 right through to those who overhaul them in the present day.
This access has allowed us to develop the most comprehensive suite of tooling to produce the ultimate class 60.
Our model has an impressive 825g of weight to allow the powerful 5-pole motor and all-wheel drive to haul the very heaviest of trains, just like the real thing. A complex lighting suite (including radiator room and control desk lighting) and Accurathrash speaker completes the package.

Model details

Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

Accurascale's Class 60 60007 Loadhaul Black Diesel Locomotive is a highly detailed model of the last British-designed and built diesel electric locomotive. The Class 60 was a key player in hauling heavy freight trains across the country during the 1990s.

The model features a comprehensive suite of tooling, developed with the help of experts who worked on the commissioning and maintenance of the real locomotives. The model's weight of 825g allows for a powerful 5-pole motor and all-wheel drive, enabling it to haul heavy loads.

Key features of the model include a die-cast metal chassis, RP25-110 profile OO wheels, and separately applied etched metal and plastic detail parts. The underframe tank and compressor detail are also accurately represented, along with fully sprung buffers and a complete snow plough.

The model is DCC sound equipped, featuring a customised dual-speaker system with a large 'Accurathrash' style bass speaker and a smaller 'iphone' style cube for higher frequencies. The model also includes a hall sensor for a realistic flange squeal effect and a powerpack capacitor for uninterrupted power.

The locomotive's lighting system is fully detailed, with directional lighting, DC and DCC operation, and separately switched cab lighting. The model is also DCC ready, with a 21-pin MXT socket or factory-fitted DCC sound options available.

The model represents the Class 60 in its Loadhaul livery, during the initial privatisation period. The Class 60 was a reliable and efficient locomotive, built to haul heavy freight trains across the country. The Accurascale model is a highly detailed and accurate representation of this iconic locomotive.
