Accurascale ACC3021-DCC Class 66 Diesel 66142 DB Maritime Intermodal Three - DCC Sound
Once an anonymous EWS maroon and gold class 66, 66142 led the life of a typical EWS 66 from its delivery during August 1999 right through the acquisition by DB up until its turn in the paintshop came in 2019 at the ripe age of 20 years old! Rather than the bright red of DB, 66142 gained the vibrant blue colour of Maritime Intermodal and was named “Maritime Intermodal Three”. Following Accurascale handing out free 'a' stickers at Warley in 2022, a number of these have found their way in to a wide variety of places, including on real rolling stock. 66142 is one such locomotive and proudly wears its 'a' sticker under one set of numbers
