All variants of the Class 66 lighting have been tooled for both UK and European variants. The headlights will be prototypical for your model.
All the Class 66 models have 12 axles for the current pick-up and both bogies are motor driven. The UK variants of the Class 66 will not be fitted with traction tyres. European variants will be fitted with one traction tyre per bogie.

The Class 66 is one of the most ubiquitous diesel classes in the UK. 480 examples were built for the UK market with additional examples being imported from other countries pools to bolster the amount in service in the UK. The Class 66 is a progression of the privately commissioned Class 59 that Foster Yeoman had constructed to replace their aging and failing BREL locomotives. The Class 66 shares the same body as the 59 but has uprated internals.

In May 1996 EWS placed an order for 250 units to be built in London, Ontario. These would set EWS back £375 million, with the first units arriving relatively quickly in early 1998. The locomotives would be in service from the point they touched down at Newport Docks, with the locomotives shipped already filled with water and fuel. The last such example arrived in the UK in spring 2016.
