Lowlander Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) No current plans to produce anymore Class 66's at present' was the unfortunate response I got yesterday when I asked a Hattons staff member. We may see some when the Dapol 59 appears, whenever that may be. Edited February 20, 2022 by ayrmrg 11 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting really. I think I have bought 4 Bachmann ones since I bought my 4 Hattons ones, could have been from them had they been in the right livery or likely to be in once piece when they turned up. I do think the market will keep buying 66s if people make them, look at how many Hornby get away with making. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for Advenza or DRS respray. (if a 66/4 goes into new DRS livery this could be a good base). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that the light clusters on 66623 chassis works for an original wipac version do they? If you filled the small side lights would that work for the updated lights on a 66/0 version though if you just took the mid body steps out? Just a thought.

I think theres a bit more to it than that. 66623 has LED Wipac not the original 66/0 clusters. Hattons made 3 different light clusters.. Original, LED Wipac and Large Headlight. The latest version isnt one of them.. but removing the mid body steps, still leaves the door, and potentially the wrong fuel tanks… As always research the prototype.

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted February 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2022 I've got two of Hatton's Class 66's, EWS 66005 and GBRf 66743 in Royal Scotsman, and to be honest, really impressed with them. I'm really hoping that Hatton's will be doing another run as those that are available, are getting thin on the ground. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbay Express Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Yeah, or in the box to re-affix. Used to them by now, so know what to look for. Were thinking of writing a modern version of Blood, sweat and Class 50's. Blood, tears, sleepless nights and Hattons Class 66's. There have been occasions when I have been tested!
