Class 86 locomotives are class 85 in Bulgaria, presumably because 86 was already taken.
According to Railfaneurope.net:
Bulmarket have 8 locomotives (list updated March 2023).
Bulmarket also have 4 class 87s.
BZK have 17 class 87s as of August 2020 (individual fleet numbers not given).
DB Cargo Bulgaria have 4 class 92s (class 88 in Bulgaria) as of July 2023.

They must be getting a bit old now, even for Bulgarian standards.

You might want to look at the next major tour in Bulgaria, planned for May 24th - 28th, 2025 with charters using both ex-BR Class 87, and 86, the latter celebrating their 60th Anniversary! See https://enthusiasthols.com/tour/bulgaria-late-spring-2025/ and in particular the last 20 minutes or so of the video embedded in that post.
