What could be better than a Kato Class 66, ideal for relivery jobs.

Bear in mind that it's made to continental N gauge - so 1:160 rather then British N at 1:148, so it'll look pretty small alongside British N rolling stock.

True Phil,
Here is a Farish EWS side by side for comparison, the Kato locos are as usual wonderful smooth runners & have six pin decoder sockets.

Here's a 'Rail4Chem' 66 photographed at Oosterbeek in the Netherlands on the morning of 20/03/2005:

And for those of us with Continental layouts Kato have announced the Class 77 in the current ECR silver livery for this year, to add to the EWS/ECR 66 done as a special in France a couple of years back. Regrettably the EWS colour was almost pink on these.
