A Modern Locomotive with a Unique Identity

Delivered in early 2007 as part of the final wave of Class 66s built for UK use, 66725 was designed to meet lower emissions standards before further regulations made the model unviable for domestic operation. Shipped from Canada and arriving in the UK in February 2016, this locomotive represents the end of an era.

Its eye-catching livery, accented with red and white trim, is complemented by a unique ‘Sunderland’ nameplate, styled after the classic LNER ‘Footballers’ Class - a respectful nod to Sunderland AFC and the city’s deep-rooted rail and sporting heritage.

Whether you're a long-time modeller or just starting your TT:120 journey, Class 66 ‘Sunderland’ adds both history and heart to your modern freight scene. A must-have for any enthusiast looking to capture the realism and legacy of Britain's railways.
