The Class 66 is one of the most ubiquitous diesel classes in the UK. 480 examples were built for the UK market with additional examples being imported from other countries pools to bolster the amount in service in the UK. The Class 66 is a progression of the privately commissioned Class 59 that Foster Yeoman had constructed to replace their aging and failing BREL locomotives. The Class 66 shares the same body as the 59 but has uprated internals.

66097 arrived in the UK in 1999 as part of the original EWS order and would passed into DB Schenker ownership when EWS rebranded. The locomotive is in the striking cherry red livery and is currently based out of Toton in Nottingham. The locomotive is not, and has never been, named.

This model features directional and cab lighting. Night and day headlights are also included.
