Accurascale Class 66 - Modern Marvels 

My goodness - what beautiful models these are ❤. Thank you for another fantastic video and review - really appreciated 👍🚂

Excellent love the presentation 😊😊😊

Two 66's very nice

Thank you for showing these guys off. It's wonderful stuff. Hopefully, I will be getting my first accurascale later this year. Im new to the hobby and was about to give up before starting after seeing some terrible quality locos out there from some of the companies, no names, no court-martials, though.

Hi mate I hope you are well These look stunning Am glad that they fixed hattons issues I must admit your mates version is better looking (no offense) Thank you for sharing your models with us Keep safe ARP

Welldone this was excellent I've bought the samaritans version because I lost my wife suddenly 9 months ago, And nearly had to ring them, So when I seen this loco I had to buy it, Take care subbed.

Hi, very good review of a loco that Hatton’s designed to take model trains to another level, the issues on their model were poor assembly issues at the factory which were allowed to reach the customers whom were very annoyed, the detailing on this loco are from the Hatton’s tooling which Accurascale have upgraded to an extent, my issue is with the original speaker position in the chassis has been downgraded to fit a lesser speaker which is shame, if you own an original model with the EM2 speaker and Legomanbiffo sound file then you know how awesome it is, the axle box issues look like they’ve been sorted along with the body removal nightmare, it looks a very good model that has its place as the best class 66 on the market to date, if Bachmann upgrade their model which by the way is still very good then we will have to see what happens because once the Accurascale models are sold there won’t be any new ones for years because the quota will be fulfilled, thanks for sharing.

I still havent got around to running my Acc 66 yet, will be interesting to see it against my Bachmann one which is pretty good....

I was lucky enough to see one in person for the first time at this week’s club running night. They are stunning models and seeing them on your layout is a real treat. Thanks Hylt.

Ah so you’ve dipped your toes into the waters of the Accurascale diesel loveliness have you? A while ago I tried explaining to you how the 37 sound of the Accurascale was a level above the Bachmann Do you see what I mean now? The sound is just superb 👍 Bachmann need to use better speakers to catch up. My new 66 will be revealed on my next video I think the Euros is dampening the viewing figures at the minute though, either that or people have had enough of me 🤣🤣🤣 👍 Brilliant video mate and for once I had some idea about what you were saying as I’m fully clueless of the steam stuff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars to you 👍 ps as someone else has said those Cavalex are just as good the new 60s will be a treat 👍

Great review of two stunning models. Well filmed and narrated. Accurascale seem to be raising the bar so it will be interesting to see how the others respond. I'm looking at pre ordering the GWR Pannier Tank. Thanks for showing. Regards Paul.

Amazing review Hylt, well done! Accurascale seem to have the correct mix for the perfect model at the moment and long may it continue! Looking forward to seeing what they can do in the larger scales!

Accurascale are very impressive, and are still selling at reasonable prices. There are two other suppliers with superb quality. SLW - Suttons Locomotive Works and Cavalex. SLW is a small company with a very limited range (24s and 25s), and Cavalex are starting to grow with their class 56 sound probably the best sound system / profiles I have ever heard in RTR. I have two 66s from Accurascale. The Evening Star and the GBRf Severn Valley. Both superb, except for some vibration at certain frequencies. I have a temporary modification in at the moment. That is to chabge how the large speaker sits into the chassis. Awaiting some feedback from Accurascale on this issue, and I am not the only customer that has picked up on this.

As you say Accurascale is playing a different game than the rest when it comes to detail and sound. And at $214.00 they have also priced the offerings at a reasonable cost. The running session and editing really highlights your progress. The polished platform doesn't hurt nether. Great video, Jersey Bill

Cracking review and narration inc. film work. Only slight criticism is to maybe only have the sound for the subscribe button once rather than every time it pops up. Maybe I’m biased and don’t like the sound of the whistle used 😂

Great review Hylton, well filmed with some goood running shots. Definitely Accurascales best diesel to date (( but theyre all pretty good) Great sounds and looks fantastic.😊

Great review on both of these Hilton, currently I’m not going to be getting one of these accurascale 66s because I already have one of the predecessor hattons versions in GBRf intermodal livery which while at first I did experience a couple of issues like the odd axlebox coming off every now and again I persevered with the model and over the years I have owned it it’s actually got to the point where it is a very good model for me, I mainly use it for hauling my rake of 8 Accurascale GBRf IIA Biomass wagons and in the last few years It hasn’t exhibited any issues with it it, I’m now looking at potentially getting it sound fitted, for that reason the minor upgrades that have been made to this are not enough for me to get one of these at the moment, I have a fair few accurascale products myself now but only one of them is an exclusive from them, my one being my Class 92 which originally I didn’t realise was an exclusive until I received it, the are overall a good company, still some things that need to be ironed out but I do like their products, going back to the 66 though as I say it’s not one I’m looking at getting at the moment but maybe in the future if accurascale produce a 66 in a livery that really appeals to me it may become a model that gets added to my collection, would say the Evening Star one is my favourite, to me even though it’s been quite a while now freightliner in orange is still a bit weird to me, I have seen their locomotive in the more familiar green and yellow livery for much longer, great review overall Hilton, keep up the great work

Nice one mate cool locos great layout

So here's the thing, Hylton. I had resisted the temptation to buy one of these, as I've drawn the line on modern image locos at the class 59 (this was after drawing a line first at anything introduced after 1970, then 1980 (as I really needed a HST), and then the 59). Then I watched Sam's, Euvirail and your reviews, and now just HAVE to have one. BUT it HAS to be Evening Star, and since they are sold out, I just MIGHT be able to keep my £170 in my pocket. Which is probably just as well, as I've already purchased a blue Accurascale 37, and have another in Dutch livery en route, not to mention a green class 55 somewhere in the pipeline. Awesome review once again. You REALLY DO now know what you're doing now.... 😉 PS: Adding the "9F" power classification to the livery was a respectful nod to the original Evening Star 2-10-0 built in 1960.

I have DCC ready version of 66415 You Are Never Alone. My model railway should include 66763 Seven Valley Railway or 66507 or both soon

Modern image doesn't interest me at all but clearly an excellent model. Let's hope Accurascale can produce a steam loco to the same standard and not a GWR or tank engine as they have made enough of them.

Accurascale cannot take all the credit. Hatton more than played a part
