| 2001 | Sporting the eye-catching colours of EWS, this Class 86 would not be out of place on any modern image layout. The operating pantograph is activated by a switch on the roof, however, for conventional running it should be noted that all the axles have pick-ups and that the locomotive is powered by a ringfield motor. |
