Class 66 locomotives were introduced by EWS in 1998. They were soon replacing a varied collection of old diesel types and have now come to dominate rail freight transport in the UK. These distinctive locomotives are built by General Motors EMD division in Canada and come in a large variety of liveries from a number of operators. The success of this locomotive type soon caught the attention of European rail freight companies and they are now found in many parts of Europe giving an even more extensive range of liveries. There are now in excess of five hundred engines of this class with many minor variations in design. Our model of this locomotive offers an engine with a robust metal body and fine moulded detailing at a competitive price. Options include louvered side panels (Graphics as standard), full three system lighting set, graphics for a variety of liveries and sound system.
