Hornby Schenker Co-Co Class 66 DP World London Gateway

The Class 66 locomotives are of the Co-Co type, with a cab at each end. Rated for 75mph operation, each has a GM 12N-710G3B-EC two-stroke engine, rated at 3,200hp at 900rpm. This is coupled to a GM AR8/CA6 main alternator, which powers six GM D43TR traction motors, one on each axle, developing a maximum tractive effort of 90,000lbf, and a continuous tractive effort of 57,000lbf, with a maximum speed of 75mph. Though this makes the Class 66 a less powerful locomotive than a Class 60, it is a stronger performer than the Class 47, 56, 57 and 58 locomotives. Fuel capacity is 6,550 litres of diesel fuel, giving a range of about 1,200 miles between fuelling. A ready-to-run Class 66 weighs 126 tonnes, giving a route availability rating of seven.
66185 DP World London Gateway was one of the original batch of locomotives delivered to EWS, being built on January 5, 2000 and was renamed in a ceremony taking place on October 3, 2013 at the London Gateway Port in Essex. View More Products From Brand: Hornby
