We are pleased to announce the release of two exclusive Gaugemaster Collection Class 66 locomotives, produced for us by Dapol as part of the initial production run of their newly tooled N Gauge model.
Continuing our popular theme of retro liveries on modern traction, the two exclusives see Class 66s presented in classic Railfreight colour schemes. Class 66 793 appears in Railfreight Construction, while Class 66 794 ‘Steve Hannam’ carries the distinctive Railfreight Petroleum livery. These eye-catching combinations bring together one of Britain’s most recognisable modern freight locomotives with two liveries synonymous with an earlier era of British rail freight.
Both 1:148 scale models showcase Dapol’s newly tooled Class 66, featuring a highly detailed body and fittings, die-cast chassis and a reworked all-wheel-drive mechanism powered by a smooth-running five-pole motor. Lighting features include independently controlled directional day and night main lights and cab lighting, while a Next-18 decoder socket makes the models ready for conversion to DCC.
The first releases are the Analogue DC versions, which are available now. DCC-fitted and DCC Sound versions are due to follow over the next couple of weeks, giving modellers further options for adding these exclusive retro-liveried Class 66s to their fleets.
With their combination of modern Class 66 traction, classic Railfreight identities and exclusive Gaugemaster Collection status, 66 793 and 66 794 make distinctive additions to any contemporary or collectable N Gauge locomotive fleet.
