ESU 31277 diesel locomotive C66, 66402, Cargo Net, Ep. VI (incl. sound) DC+AC Product Details

Description

About the model: This C66 diesel locomotive in the Cargo Net version is from Era VI. It is suitable for operation on direct and alternating current layouts and has many other details. Further information can be found under the features.

About the prototype: Starting in 2001, the American Electro-Motive Division (EMD) offered continental European railroad companies (RUs) comparatively inexpensive mainline diesel locomotives for heavy freight trains with the Class 66, which had already been tested in Great Britain. The six-axle locomotives, known as JT 42 CWR, are based on the simply constructed and very reliable American SD40-2. Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG HGK was the first railroad company to deploy two of the diesel-electric Class 66s from 1999. Since 2006, the modified JT 42 CWR M has been operating a second series of the Class 66, which is often referred to as the Class 77. The most striking external difference to the first series is the single door to the engine room installed on the left-hand side of the locomotive. Today, Class 66/77 locomotives can also be found in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway and England. A total of around 650 locomotives were delivered to European customers. The elongated silhouette, adapted to the small English clearance gauge, the angular body and the running gear with the massive bogies and the wild cable routing make the Class 66 unmistakable. The GM 12N-710G3B-EC twelve-cylinder two-stroke engine develops an output of 3194 hp (2350 kW). The starting tractive force is 409 kN, the continuous tractive force 260 kN. With a top speed of 120 km/h, the Class 66 can keep up with other trains even on main lines. Despite the high noise level in the driver's cab, the locomotives have earned a good reputation among train drivers when it comes to getting heavy trains off the ground, even on slippery tracks. Numerous locomotives from other European private railroads or leasing companies are also in operation in Germany. To save the shunting locomotive, the locomotives usually remain hauled from the siding of the consignor to the destination of the train, whereby it is accepted that the locomotives are also under contact wire.
