This Arnold Heavy Haul Power Class 66 Diesel Locomotive model (HN9069HM) is designed for adult collectors (14+) and model railway enthusiasts, offering a highly detailed 1:120 scale replica of an Epoch VI locomotive. Its key benefit is the authentic representation with expert detailing and excellent running characteristics, enhanced by DCC Sound. A potential caveat for new users is the requirement for a compatible TT gauge layout and understanding DCC operation.

This is a 1:120 scale model, also known as TT gauge.
No, this model is designed to be operated with a separate DCC controller. A DCC controller is not included.
Epoch VI refers to the sixth era of railway history in Europe, typically spanning from around 2007 onwards, characterized by modern liveries and digital technologies.
The minimum recommended radius for this locomotive is 3k, which is approximately 300mm.
No, this model is equipped with a DCC decoder and is intended for operation on DCC systems only. It is not compatible with analog DC power.
Regular dusting with a soft cloth is recommended. Keep the track and wheels clean for optimal running. Avoid exposing the model to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
Next18 is a standardized interface for DCC decoders, allowing for easy installation or replacement of sound and function decoders in compatible models.
Ensure the DCC controller is powered on and correctly addressing the locomotive. Check that the track is powered and clean. Verify the locomotive is seated properly on the track.
Confirm that sound is enabled on your DCC controller and that the volume is turned up. Check for any dirt or debris on the locomotive's wheels and track contacts.
Verify that the locomotive is addressed correctly and that the lighting function is activated via your DCC controller. Check for any obstructions around the LED lenses.
Clean the track and the locomotive's wheels using a suitable track cleaner and model wheel cleaning fluid. Ensure the locomotive is operating on a straight section or a curve with the minimum radius requirement.
Setup: This model requires a Digital Command Control (DCC) system to operate its sound and lighting functions. Ensure your DCC controller is compatible with the Next18 interface. Carefully place the locomotive on a DCC-enabled track. For optimal performance, run the locomotive in both directions for a short period to 'break it in'.
Compatibility: The locomotive is designed for TT gauge (1:120 scale) model railway layouts. It uses standard NEM couplings, allowing it to connect with other compatible rolling stock. Ensure your track and any turnouts or bridges meet the minimum radius requirement of 3k (approximately 300mm).
Care: Keep the model clean and free from dust, which can interfere with electrical contacts and mechanical parts. Use a soft, dry cloth for general dusting. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the body, avoiding any electronic components. Store the model in its original packaging or a suitable display case when not in use to protect it from damage and dust.
