General Motors Class 66

Being derived from the Class 59 introduced by Foster Yeoman the Class 66 is a different locomotive. It is a modern reliable replacement for elderly type 3, 4 and 5 locomotives for medium weight faster speed freight services. The major differences from the class 59 are the use of a GM type 710 prime mover, a self steering bogie, revised side grille layout, smaller silencer, and the front headlight mounted centrally above the windscreen.
