Competition 432 :: English Electric

[Jordy]

The theme specified by the winner of the previous competition was too specific so this weeks theme is English Electric

Ooh, now I know I have photos of EE stuff here. Missed out on POTW 431 in the end as I didn't have any electric-hauled freight phots after all available for use!

Looking forward to seeing the other entries!

This will probably sound stupid but I'm assuming that English Electric means any Electric Locomotive or EMU that was built in england or is it just Locos?

 

[Techniquest]

Don't think EE made EMUs or electric locos. Sure ain't heard of such things.

My apologies I didn't realise that English Electric was actually a company my mistake I guess, but I guess there isn't much point of me entering a photo

Maybe not atomicdanny, you may have something EE made quite a wide variety of Locos.

True, I do have a few pictures of those locomotives, but no matter what I enter I think most people know that the winner will be something that has either a 37 or a 55 (Deltic) in the picture! (since some people vote for their favourite rather than the best picture!)

Am I mistaken in thinking that the traction motors recovered from the Class 432s for use in Class 442 were of English Electric build? For that matter, so were those used in most of the Southern Region Outer Suburban units. Would that count?

 

[mumrar]

Where do we stand on Class 31s? When they had the rubbish engine they were Class 30, but when they received English Electric engines they became Class 31s I believe - Class 30 and 31s

Can I suggest that this competition becomes only units that are both originally and exclusively of EE build? That way we can avoid little grey areas such as these.

And it means I can't enter again

Class 08, 09, 11,12, 20, 23, 37, 40, 50, 55, 73, 83, 86.


That is according to Wikipedia, if correct it gives us quite a variety to choose from.

Hey! what about the Spanish class 277 or Polish EU6 electric locos or the Portuguese 1400s and 1800s let alone the stuff they built for New Zealand or Kenya

And Australia too, maybe our resident Aussie has some shots, but that requires he be in the right part of the country. It's a great excuse to post this video again though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWYNx0_h-qU

Don't forget DP2!
I have just noticed this is Comp 432, so it must be an omen (see my earlier post)

And not forgetting the Hastings / Hampshire / Oxted DEMU classes. Actually, thinking about it, do photos of 73's count regardless of which power source it's on at the time?

The 73s count, although the DEMUs don't count because if you look above English Electric refers to a company rather than English Electrics and its mostly diesel trains though

But with the 73s, the JAs were built at Eastleigh by BR: only the JBs were built by English Electric.

Similarly, some of the 86s were built by BR at Doncaster rather than English Electric

Given the reputation of EE beasts, maybe this week should be an audio, rather than a visual, selection?
I scare the neighbours, when I play my EE-traction CD at 'hellfire-plus-another-notch' volume on my hi-fi...

 

[WesleyBrasil]

where can I get more detailed information on how to participate in this or another comeptição? for that topic submit my photo?

I like that idea!

As long as its vaguely EE related it will be allowed
