Class 86 - The Electric Backbone

Good Morning! :D

Once a common sight across the electrified networks of the UK, the Class 86, when it was in regular service, was a machine often overlooked when compared to the charismatic Class 81s to 85s, the sturdy and powerful Class 87s, and the modern looking Class 90s, but today, now that they are out of mainstream use in Britain, have garnered a dedicated following for what was once the mainstay of the overhead electric railways, with a domain that stretched from southern Scotland to London and East Anglia.
