Title: Revolution Trains Class 59 -vs- Class 66

The question is:

I want an EWS Roadname loco from Revolution Trains.

I'm running a quasi-fictitious situation. I just want this "look" in the EWS livery. These two look similar enough to my Yankee eyes. They both look gorgeous.

It comes down to: which is the more reliable locomotive on-the-track?

Per my comment on Facebook they're the same loco under the body, so there is no "better". You buy the one which fits your use case, which is basically the 66 for everyone (unless you expressly want a 59) given how much more widely used the 66 is.

I figured there'd be some crossover.
