RMweb Premium dhjgreen Posted October 20, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2016 Not clever - I managed to duplicate that last post - and can't find a delete button. Oh well, instead of that here's one of the 86/3 sub-class - 86 323 at Euston in 1986. PICS9554.jpg Hide is the new delete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGR Hooper! Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 What is the difference between the Class 81, Class 82, Class 83, Class 84 and Class 85? Externally I barely see any difference...Was it more internal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 What is the difference between the Class 81, Class 82, Class 83, Class 84 and Class 85? Externally I barely see any difference...Was it more internal? It'd be easier to list what they have in common, instead of the differences. The designers were asked to follow a common design theme so they all looked roughly the same, otherwise English Electric would have built the 83 with a nose and Beyer Peacock would have rows of rivets on the 82 or had it look like a Garrett.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2016 What is the difference between the Class 81, Class 82, Class 83, Class 84 and Class 85? Externally I barely see any difference...Was it more internal? Quite a few years ago I started to scratchbuild an 82,83, 84 and 85. I at first thought I could convert 86s to each class, no way. When I started to build them I found they all had different cabs. With all of them the cab slopes back slightly and the windscreen even more, the angles were different for each class, and the angles/curves across the front also vary from one type to another. The part completed models were donated to mates who were into AC locos as my modelling projects changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Blobrick Posted October 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2016 Just wondering if anyone has heard if there has been any word on a manufacturer announcing a class 86/87 model yet? (My 85s are lonely!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My 85s are lonely!) When DJM announced the 92 crowdfunded project, this was the alternative to the originally planned 86/87, apparently two companies are working on them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 That photo of 89001 next to an HST says everything about why I think 89001 is an ugly pointless crate. The HST nose-cone is attractive, stylish, timeless and well designed: 89001 is a random collection of mis-matched shapes and features seemingly thrown together by a badly hungover junior cad trainee with no attempt to give them any styling or sense of purpose. Not quite as ugly as a Class 70 (both diesel and Bullied electric) but out there in the design wilderness alongside the original Class 317/455 front end and the Class 67. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
