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.

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 60065 'Spirit of Jaguar' EWS Late Diesel Locomotive is a detailed model of a Class 60 locomotive, representing the EWS livery and period of the initial privatisation of the railways.

The Class 60 was the last British-designed and built diesel electric locomotive, with a production run of 100 units completed in just over 18 months. The locomotives were primarily used for heavy freight haulage, serving the coal, petroleum, aggregate, and metals sectors.

Accurascale's model is the result of extensive research and collaboration with individuals who worked on the commissioning and maintenance of the Class 60. The model features a complex lighting system, including radiator room and control desk lighting, and a powerful 5-pole motor with all-wheel drive.

The model is DCC sound equipped, with a bespoke sound system and speaker designed to provide an authentic operating experience. The locomotive's weight is 825g, allowing it to haul heavy loads on layouts with a minimum radius of 438mm.

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 model also includes a complete underframe tank and compressor detail, fully sprung buffers, and a snow plough and buffer beam pipework in an accessory pack.

The locomotive is available in two versions: DCC ready with a 21-pin socket, or with a factory-fitted DCC sound system. The model is designed to achieve a scale top speed of 60-65 mph, and features a gear system to achieve this speed. The lighting pack includes directional lighting, switchable red and white marker lights, and separately switched cab lighting.
