A total of 25 were put into service by Freightliner, numbered 66601-625 and some of these have since moved overseas for use with Freightliner Poland. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eUsed mainly on oil, aggregate, and cement trains, 66601 is one of 22 still operating in the UK and, on 18th March 2025, was turned out at Eastleigh Works in a new green ‘Freightliner 60’ livery. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eWe've faithfully recreated this locomotive in RailRoad model form, keeping plenty of detail but incorporating more durable features, making it ideal for a busy model railway layout. Plus, this locomotive model has been pre-fitted with a DCC sound chip for the most authentic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254453919767,"sku":"R30531TXS","price":244.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/R30531TXS.jpg?v=1782876233","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/hornby-1-76-railroad-freightliner-class-66-freightliner-60-66601-dcc-sound-fitted","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
