Production Details:
Entering service in 1998, this was one of the
original 250 locomotives ordered for EWS. Funded by Locomotion Capital
Ltd, it was leased to EWS until December 2008. No. 66022 was one of 60
locomotives sub-let to its Euro Cargo Rail subsidiary in France,
starting in June 2006. It was then sold by to Angel Trains, who leased
it to DB Schenker Rail UK, but the locomotive remained in service in
France, returning to the UK for heavy maintenance when required via the
Channel Tunnel. Today it is part of the DB Cargo fleet. Our RailRoad
model faithfully replicates this Class 66 locomotive, with an emphasis
on durability for regular model railway use. Technical Specification & Detail:
