Accurascale Class 60 - A Closer Look Accurascale UK 2024-07-05 | Pre-order your Class 60 today, No money down, Lifetime warranty and free P&P: accurascale.com/collections/class-60The 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. 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. The Accurascale class 60 is the product of many years of careful research and constructed using data from 3D scans, surveys and original Brush drawings. We have been very lucky to be able to draw on the experience and knowledge from people who worked on the commissioning of Class 60 right through to those who overhaul them in the present day. This access has allowed us to develop the most comprehensive suite of tooling to produce the ultimate class 60.
