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\n\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\n\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\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57955495608701,"sku":"R30531TXS","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0419\/5696\/6563\/files\/R30531-TXS-Freightliner-Class-66-Co-Co-66601-Freightliner-60-1-scaled.jpg?v=1774097275","url":"https:\/\/www.chestermodelcentre.com\/products\/hornby-r30531txs-railroad-freightliner-class-66-freightliner-60-66601-dcc-sound-fitted","provider":"Chester Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
