Hello from London UK

The Aristocraft Class 66 was a brave attempt to woo an international customer base - a valid one, as it happened, as the locomotives, built at the GM plant in London Ontario, were sold all over Western Europe. They were, after all, little more than a loading gauge adjusted AC4000 - the 4000 being the horse-power.

They were, even allowing for the rather odd scale, a very fine model indeed, and shared all their running gear with Aristocraft's immensely powerful Dash-9 model, one of which hauled 100 cars around the promenade deck of the old Cunarder, the 'Queen Mary', located in Huntingdon Beach CA.
