DRAWING THE JUICE – THE ENGLISH ELECTRICS
With so much attention paid to the classic diesel types
it’s easy to forget the sterling work put in by the fleet
of electric locomotives over the years.
Many of
these types are now confined to history and so the time
is right to look back at the range of mainline electric
locos that have run in Britain.
Featuring no less
than 15 classes of locomotive ranging from 71s & 73s
to 76s & 77s, as well as the ac electric fleets, this
programme spans almost 50 years of electric traction in
the UK.
Liveries featured range from B.R. black,
electric blue & S.R. malchanite green to VXC, GNER
& freightliner.
Just some of the
highlights are:
71s on the Golden Arrow;
EM1s & EM2s at Sheffield Victoria & Manchester
Piccadilly including all 7 class EM2s.
73s on rare
working at Reading, Leamington, Colwyn Bay and an
outrageous shot of a 73 on diesel power at Victoria!
Early Days Of The A/C electrics;
Class 86 &
90 repaints
87s from new to present time
89001 ‘Avocet’, Class 91s on test
Film
