Which software did u used?

"They were the first American-built locomotives to be introduced in Britain" The Midland Railway used USA built locos in the 1900s, potentially there was something even before that.
"They were the first private-owner locomotives that British Rail allowed to be used on the mainline" A certain Gresley A4.

The 59's were in many ways a derivative of the NSW 81 class engine which was considered in the early 80's to be the reference SD40-2 derivative outside North America

Nice but the Dapol ones are nice too.

[@duncanfairwood127]

But Dapol's track record in N gauge has been a bit patchy - funny shaped 142s and 50s. On their performance to date, i think I trust Revolution to do a proper job. Nice to have some proper competition too.

Those look like Class 66 but brothers

[@petersmith4455]

how many 59s and 66s do we want from every manufacturer ,why not try something new like electric loco 20003 of 1948 ?

There’s never been a ready to run 59 in N other than the CJM model which is no longer in production,
