The model features a heavy die-cast undercarriage, a 5-pole motor, directional lighting, and a detailed reproduction of the 66/7 undercarriage design. Numerous separately applied details—such as the roof exhaust, sand boxes, sand pipes, cab access steps, and handrails—create a highly prototypical overall appearance.

This latest version of the TT Class 66 features an adapted wheel profile to improve running characteristics, as well as a redesigned kinematic coupler arm that facilitates pulling cars through 2nd-radius curves.

Digital Readiness and Expansion Options

The locomotive is equipped with a Next18 DCC interface and is compatible with the HM7000 system. Additionally, space is provided for an HM7000-N18TXS sound decoder and an HM7070 power bank, making the model ready for digital upgrades.

Prototype of Locomotive 66727

Later, the 3,200 hp diesel-electric locomotive received the GBRf Europorte “Maritime” blue paint scheme at Eastleigh Works in Arlington and was christened “Maritime One” on September 16, 2016, at the Birmingham Intermodal Freight Terminal.
