Class 66 Harry Beck London Transport Livery Model

The Class 66 Diesel Locomotive revolutionised the British rail freight landscape when the first examples arrived in 1998, and more than a quarter of a century later, the type remains at the forefront of freight operations the length and breadth of the country. The all-new Bachmann Branchline OO Scale model has been designed from the rails up, capturing this modern icon like never before.

GB Railfreight is a prominent operator of the Class 66 and, never shy to apply unique liveries to their locomotives, in 2013 they painted No. 66721 in a special livery depicting the London Underground tube map in honour of its original designer, Harry Beck. Every aspect of the intricate livery is replicated authentically on the new Branchline model, which itself is constructed from high fidelity mouldings that are adorned with countless separately fitted details, including various metal components, and locomotive-specific detailing.

Meanwhile, ‘under the bonnet’ the model boasts a high specification that utilises the latest advancements in model railway technology. A full lighting suite includes directional lights, with day and night mode, cab lights and machine room lights, all of which can be controlled to full effect when the model is used on DCC. To fit a DCC decoder, it’s simply a case of removing the magnetic roof panel and swapping out the blanking plate for a Plux22 DCC Decoder. DCC users also benefit from the integrated Bach-Up Stay Alive System which provides uninterrupted power to prevent stalling, light flicker and, for those fitting sound to their model, sound cut-outs.
