HOR R30353TXS Hornby GBRf, Class 66, Co-Co, 66754 'Northampton Saints' - Era 11 (Sound Fitted) 2024 Catalogue

GB Railfreight ordered 21 Class 66 locomotives, including No. 66754 ‘Northampton Saints’, from Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) between September 2013 and February 2014. These Class 66 locomotives hauled biomass for electricity generation and infrastructure materials for Network Rail. On 22nd April 2015, 66754 was named ‘Northampton Saints’ after the rugby club in a special naming ceremony. At the time, it was to celebrate their most successful season in over 60 years, which included 9 cup finals in 7 years, the 2014 Aviva Premiership and European Challenge Cup titles. The naming ceremony took place at the Wellingborough Railhead in Northampton, near Franklin’s Gardens which is Northampton Saints’ ground.
Our No. 66754 model is painted in the classic GBRf blue livery. It includes two etched nameplates of ‘Northampton Saints’. Please be aware that this is not suitable for children. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 21-Pin decoder, including sound. The Class 66 HM7000 sound profile corresponds to this model. The accessory bag contains a pair of snow ploughs, four vac pipes and two moulded coupling links.
