Accurascale have announced a second run of their popular OO Gauge Class 60 diesel locomotives - including four new liveries!


Hot on the heels of the first batch which have just arrived in stock recently - there are four new models to choose from in this second run including Railfreight Petroleum Sector livery, EWS maroon & gold, Colas Rail Freight livery and the one-off DB Cargo 'Puma Energy' grey. All of these models are available to pre-order now for release in Q4 2026 either DCC Ready or DCC Sound Fitted! We also have a limited selection of Run 1 available to order now too.


The first batch of these highly anticipated models is now available to order - including both DCC Ready and DCC Sound variations of each model. These locomotives have already proven to be extremely popular on preorder and some variations have limited quantities remaining - so don't wait to secure yours! Order now before they are sold out!


A total of 7 variations have been produced, covering Railfreight, Transrail, EWS, LoadHaul, Mainline and GBRf liveries. We are excited to announce that we have also received a exclusive model in partnership with Accurascale recreating 'Tees Steel Express' in the striking EWS/ British Steel blue colour scheme.

Prototype Information

The Brush Class 60 was the last stand of the British designed and built diesel electric locomotive. From concept to delivery in little over 18 months the construction of this 100 strong class was nothing short of impressive.


Designed as a heavy freight locomotive rather than a mixed traffic type, they soon went to work on a variety of trains for the Coal, Petroleum, Aggregate and Metals sectors. All 100 locomotives passed through the shadow franchises before coming under the ownership of EWS in 1996. Reliable, efficient and powerful, they made a name for themselves hauling the heaviest of trains across the country.


Following a low point with many stored with high engine hours, there is a resurgence happening with the likes of DCR and GBRF who are utilising their fleets of class 60’s for what they were built for.

ABOUT OUR EXCLUSIVE - 'TEES STEEL EXPRESS'

Whilst under the ownership of EWS, 60033 was one of two locomotives selected to receive the special British Steel light blue colour scheme in Summer 1997 and gained the name 'Tees Steel Express'.


The livery was intended to promote the ailing steel industry in the North East but the locomotive could be seen in use across the entirety of the network.


'Tees Steel Express' retained this eye catching livery until December 2000, when it was repainted into a much simpler Corus silver colour scheme, following the merger of British Steel with Corus.
