The only Class 86 i seen in real life is 86259 and i was wondering if there is any chance that when you work on the Class 86/2s that this locomotive may be considered to be be produced. Thanks, Samuel. 9 hours ago, 61661 said: I think it's also safe to say that 86259 in current condition is likely to be part of the mix when we get around to the 86/2s. There are so many livery options on both the /2s and /4s it will take us a few years to work our way through them. It'll be impossible to keep everyone happy, but we will do our best to cover the most popular liveries in the early batches. @61661Thanks for confirming that 86259 in current condition is likely to be in the mix for when you get around to the 86/2s i wasn't too sure that if it was a 86/2 or another subclass that is why i asked the question on here on Saturday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I'm happy with the updated circuits in the standard FL 86 & the Gaugemaster specials. Glad they have done 86401 in the CS livery though, would be nice to see 86101 done in the BR blue as preserved style too and of course as mentioned earlier 86259 as well! I miss the 1980’s... ;-) Would an 86/1 be possible in the tooling plans ? Edited May 16, 2021 by adb968008 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Street IEMD Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) 18 hours ago, WILLIAM said: From memory there were only three 86s put into EWS livery; 261, 401 & 426. Here's a minty 401 at Crewe in May 1998. 426 that's right, not 424 .. Great shot of 86401 by the way. I have never seen that and it looking so crisp in EWS, I understand Hornby did all three according to the online guide but i only ever saw and also had 261 and 401 having had both hardwired to DCCF. Thank you @WILLIAM I don't know my cans as well as I know my Skodas. Kat @johnsonstreetIEMD Edited March 17, 2021 by DBC90024 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was mentioned a few posts earlier. It would require a different chassis & there were only 3 of them, so it would be unlikely. Depending on tooling, it may be possible to fit a Heljan 86 on a Hornby 87 chassis. I am sure somebody will try it. I believe some underframe components were in different places. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as liked that trio, they're not in our plans at the moment. We have more than enough ground to cover with the more numerous /0s, 2/s, /3s, /4s and /6s and they will keep us going for quite a few years. 9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the 86/1 has the weak field case on the opposite (compressor) side from an 87 and being dual braked also has exhausters which the air only 87 doesn't.

Rainhill livery 86235 is already on my list. 86214 had an odd early style headlight at that time, which would require extra tooling, so unlikely to feature. take my money for 86 235........i am off to nick some car radios to cover it.....

I'll probably end up selling my body to my elderly widow neighbours as a by the hour toy boy (put it this way, compared to them, despite my age, I'm Early Learning Centre level of Toy Boy), so if you want fixing up with some lie back and think of Heljan action, I can probably organise something. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, when times are hard, you have to take desperate action, like selling the family silver for your next fix ...like two 66s for one more 90 lol ...

A little lockdown project. Still needs a representation of door handles, but it's on the to do list (though I can't be bothered with the recesses). There is a temporal anomaly at play as the Rainhill livery had gone by the time the first executive 86s were outshopped.
