The Class 67’s was constructed by Alstom Meinfesa in Valencia between 1999 and 2000 for EWS. No. 67027 ‘Charlotte’ was named ‘Rising Star’ in 2003. Various changes took place over the years. In 2007, the ownership of the locomotive was transferred to DB Cargo UK. 2014 saw a change to the DB Cargo UK red livery from the previous EWS red & yellow livery. 

Ownership was again transferred to Colas Rail in 2017. To reflect this further, the livery was amended to Colas Rail yellow, orange, and black at the Toton TMD. The locomotive received a name change to ‘Charlotte’ in the same year. In 2022, ownership was transferred to GB Railfreight and repainted into a blue & yellow livery.

The model is painted in an iconic GBRf blue and orange livery. This model is DCC ready and is compatible with our HM7000 21-Pin decoder.
