HORNBY R30334 CLASS 66 'GOLDEN JUBILEE' No 66705

No. 66705 ‘Golden Jubilee’ was delivered to Newport Docks on the MV Jumbo Challenger (a heavy load Cvrrier) on 9th March 2001. 66705 went into service under GB Railfreight in the iconic blue and orange livery. On 20th June 2002, the locomotive was named ’Golden Jubilee’ to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee of 50 years on the throne. A ‘Golden Jubilee’ nameplate was subsequently fitted. A large Union Jack flag was adorned on the bodysides which the locomotive carried for the next 14 years. 66705 is still in service today.

Our model of No. 66705 features the iconic GBRf blue livery. It includes two etched nameplates with 'Golden Jubilee' on a golden background. Please be aware that this is not suitable for children. This model is DCC-ready and compatible with our HM7000 21-pin decoder. Additionally, the accessory bag includes a pair of snow ploughs, four vac pipes, and two moulded coupling links.
