This classic and very powerful loco is built to the highest standards in order to give you trouble free running, it is a delight to drive and you may purchase at either of two stages of construction

The Class 66 can be supplied in EWS, DRS, GBRf, Freightliner and Fastline liveries, it can also be supplied in European liveries

Our class 66 is available with either a 4 door outline (shown above) or the new 5 door outline which we had on show for the first time at The South West Model Engineering Exhibition in April

The body sits on a full length 4mm laser cut steel chasis

The bogies are manufactured with 6mm laser cut steel

The bogies are easily removed for carrying by removing one electric plug on each. The roof lifts off easily to facilitate battery removal

In 5" Power is supplied via 2 x 12volt batteries through an electronic controller to 4 x 285 watt motors (two on each 6 wheeled bogie) which run through a reducing gear to the wheels

In 7¼" Power is supplied via 4 x 12volt batteries through an electronic controller to 4 x 285 watt motors (two on each 6 wheeled bogie) which run through a reducing gear to the wheels

We also supply a 6 motor option, 3 motors on each bogie

Each axle box is fully independently sprung

Unless otherwise requested a plug in hand controller will be supplied


The customer has two choices:

Our locos may be purchased, fully finished and ready to run apart from batteries and terminals. (if customer is collecting the loco these can be supplied at cost, and apart from fitting the batteries there will be no assembly). Sound systems are available at extra cost and can also be fitted by us during manufacture

Locos can be supplied in kit form with Bogie Kits and Welded Chassis, the body is primer coated. The loco assembly is very straightforward. The customer normally paints the loco and adds logos to their own taste, all electrical components including two tone horns and lighting

As an optional extra we will paint and graphic your loco body, please ask for details

Sound systems, ammeters, speedometers and battery condition meters may be purchased seperately
