Rather a narrow field is this one! I may find myself delving through some old prints here. I hope my scanner is up to the task:eek:

And to think I got criticised once for choosing AC electrics and not specifying UK only either! I'm gonna need to dig deep too, I feel a lot of my shots of the class are not up to scratch sadly

Ditto! I can't think of anything I've done on the 87s that is of real quality:( Wonder if there's any cheap airfares to Bulgaria for Wed morning?!

Personally i think it's a good choice because well at the moment I havent seen many electric related topics so maybe everyone could do we investing some time on the WCML well accept Ferret he see's 4L92 more than I do lol

Lol at the coughing gen! Hope it's not swine flu fellas!!!

Seriously though, I guess if you did an arty shot at LM that could be a winner...

Well to be honest all I have is Long Marston and 87001 and the Crewe heritage center example.

Farce! Don't have any 87s... ok, with the LM gen - but when I went it heaved it down - think I'm just bowled out for this category :( DOH!!

P.S. Ferret, has your 323 got as bad wheel flats as my 142 had t'other day?? lol :lol:

That's a very raw subject on my part considering I got bowled by 86101 pulling it on a charter ECS and the fact it failed it's first Glasgow tour :(


Wait wait ........ does 86101 count :D

I was on that tour! Was gutted about 87002 failing and the subsequent slow run behind 57601 which resulted in a rather late arrival in Brum. I was on at 0525 the next day!!! Was hardly worth going to bed:(

As for 87002, maybe we'd do better if the bloody thing made it south of Warrington once in a while on the 325 run!!!

Only got two photos I can remember the location of at the moment, or at least have on my Photobucket, so entering the one I like the most.

By the looks of it we may be flooded with photos of them sat about doing nothing...
