Detaljerad beskrivning
Ursprungligen en del av den "röda revolutionen", en term som användes för att beskriva dominansen av engelska, walesiska och skotska (EWS) klass 66:or över den brittiska fraktscenen, 66190 anlände till brittisk mark tidigt på år 2000. Ett av 250 nästan identiska lokomotiv, 66190 sattes till att arbeta i klassen nästan omedelbart på en 6,'' var som helst” till EWS:s förfogande. Den första modifieringen kom sommaren 2001 då 66190 var försedd med den nu standardiserade swinghead buckeye-kopplingen (lok 66200 och uppåt fick dessa monterade från nya tillsammans med reviderade surrningsöglor)
66190:s första vändning i rampljuset kom den 19 juli 2003 när den släpade Mossend till Inverness etappen av Pathfinder Tours Grampian Gyrator. För övrigt, kollegan Accurascale Exclusive 66001, arbetade Stafford till Crewe sedan Crewe till Stafford på samma turné. 66190 kom tillbaka till sitt normala arbetsliv igen fram till mitten av 2007 då den var redo för överföring till Euro Cargo Rail (ECR), i Toton. ECR var ett dotterbolag till EWS, eftersom EWS försökte bredda sin marknad till den europeiska järnvägsfraktverksamheten. Trots att den tyska operatören DB köpte EWS-verksamheten 2007 och omprofileringen till DB Schenker skedde 2009, fortsatte ECR att vara känd som sådan fram till 2021 då den bytte namn till DB Cargo France.
Under juni 2021 returnerades 66190 till DB Cargo-lager i Storbritannien via kanaltunneln och begav sig till Toton-depån i Nottinghamshire för en fullständig översyn och konvertering tillbaka till Storbritanniens specifikation. Den dök upp i standard "De-branded" EWS rödbrun och guldfärgad, om än med nya LED-belysningskluster och användes på många rutter runt mittlandet innan den återvände till Toton under början av 2023 för en fullständig ommålning till DB-husfärger.
En mycket glänsande 66190 tog sig till York den 2 juni 2023 för en namngivningsceremoni, där dess "Martin House"-plattor skulle avslöjas av Rosie Mellor-Silvester, från välgörenhetsorganisationen Martin House. 66190, som ett standard poollok används över hela landet från porslinsarbete i sydväst till biomassa i norr, men det behandlas alltid som lite av ett "husdjur" av DB-personalen, de vita väggdäcken och silverbuffertarna underhålls så mycket som möjligt, vilket gör att loket sticker ut från resten av flottan

Awesome sounds details and very very very heavy
Buy one of these before they run out they are fantastic
Another treat purchased and another wonderful stunning Accurascale model!
Simply outstanding
Lovely extra written material on this exclusive
Really heavy!
A great freight hauler finished in DB red this loco carries a heavy weight to make light weight of the heaviest trains. The loco has type specific sound file and comes complete with colourful Martins House nameplates that really sets this model apart.
This is a great Class 66 loco, the loco has a good weight too it, the livery is really nice.
The sounds are really good and I have added the accessory pack to on side of the loco which makes it look much better.
I do recommended this loco to anyone wanting to buy this.
Another beauty from Accurascale. Sound is good, colour is beautifully applied. Cab details, bogies, buffers and wheel rims stand out.
Excellent addition to the collection! Packed with detail, runs smoothly and sounds great!
There is no getting away from it, the Accurascale Class 66 is a brilliant model. Mine is the ‘Martin House’ DB version. The build quality is superb, the colour reproduction is spot-on and the motor and motion of the locomotive is very smooth. Add to that absolutely brilliant sound quality with the Loksound 5 software and base speaker. Really excellent and very happy with this!
Another amazing model from Accurascale, looks fantastic and runs like a dream. Can't recommend highly enough A++++
Well, yet another 'shed' arrives, the wonderfully colourful 66 190, DB red and along with looking and sounding just brilliant, also raising funds for a great cause, Martins House Childrens Hospice....
These models are literally, the real thing in miniature, the details are incredible....
With what promises to be an exciting year from Accurascale I will be doing whatever overtime I need to, to keep up with this manufacturer..!!
Yet another triumph from Accurascale! Super detailed as ever, a brilliant sound file and a very worthy cause.
This special release is made even more meaningful by the fact that it has helped raise an impressive £10,000 for the much-deserved Martin House Children’s Hospice in West Yorkshire. Supporting such an important cause adds real significance to owning and running this locomotive, and it’s a credit to everyone involved in bringing the project to life.
Beyond the charitable aspect, Accurascale have absolutely nailed it with this Class 66, and 66190 in DB red is a standout example of just how far ready-to-run models have come. Straight out of the box, the level of detail is exceptional — crisp moulding, razor-sharp printing, and a finish that perfectly captures the look and presence of the real locomotive.
The livery application is flawless, with accurate colours and fine detailing that really rewards close inspection. Proportions and stance are spot on, giving the model real weight and authority on the layout.
Performance is equally impressive. Slow-speed control is silky smooth, with plenty of pulling power and consistent running throughout the speed range. The factory-fitted DCC sound is excellent: rich, well-balanced, and highly immersive, with convincing engine notes and realistic auxiliary sounds that bring the model to life without being overpowering.
Overall, this is a top-tier locomotive that sets a new benchmark for the Class 66 in 4mm scale — a joy to run, a pleasure to look at, and a real credit to Accurascale’s commitment to quality, accuracy, and community support. Highly recommended.

Excellent model for a worthy cause.
Absolutely stunning loco another great example from Accurascale a lovely addition to my collection
Absolutely superb loco and it’s fundraising alone to Marti House is so very worthy of the purchase. Running quality and the usual high standard of detail makes this a must have. Its sat under the tree waiting for the big day
A lovely model but not without its minor faults.
Beautifully detailed and I’m so very pleased it’s finally here. This is a really good price considering the competition and you get just as much kit if not of better quality, however in regards to quality my model isn’t perfect, on one of the removable buffer panels there is a very slight paint chip on the edge and on the end of the loco the orange plug appears to have been moulded or affixed on the wonk. Not the best but nowhere near as bad as a Hornby model. I’m still very happy with my 66 and am glad I could help an excellent cause, so much so I have no desire to return it to fix these issues! (I waited over a year for it and I won’t be without it now that it’s finally here!) I’ll be keeping a close eye on any upcoming models.
Another brilliant 66 from Accurascale just as good as my other 7Acc 66s amazing detail and sounds runs nice and smooth only negative no art work on the box just the sleeve and no certificate
