From Paul B-G at 2007-01-19 22:53:24 : A Bo-Bo-Bo + Bo-Bo-Bo twin unit "class 86", pretending to be a class 22 "Baby Warship", running under wires but with all four pantographs down, and hauling green nightstar carriages. Definitely something different!
From matt scrutton at 2007-01-20 07:58:45 : the bloke on the right in the pink shirt is right to look surprised!
From at 2007-01-20 10:12:46 : They look like Mk2s to me. Nightstar was a different arrangement of greens.
From dan adkins at 2007-01-20 10:30:59 : i agree with you Matt, I bet he is thinking: well this doesn't look like the usual traction!
From Andy Elms at 2007-01-20 13:03:52 : Like it. Is it based on anything particular? What would it look like with an LMS black electric and Marroon Mk2s?
From Postman Prat at 2007-01-20 15:35:13 : Well, it is certainly different......!!!!
From HGray at 2007-01-20 18:00:57 : What does "NC" stand for?
From dan adkins at 2007-01-22 21:12:25 : norwich crown point?
From The Fat Controller at 2007-01-31 04:39:29 : This picture causes confusion and delay by pretending to be a warship!
From at 2007-01-31 16:56:44 : ?!?
From kbbl at 2007-04-08 11:50:53 : A hst in DRS please owen theres not enough DRS
From J at 2007-05-18 10:58:50 : How about in BTC black and crome with Maroon Mk2's? There was a 6 axle 86 variant proposed to haul freight for the 1970's channel tunnel project, but that was a Co-Co. And never a double unit sadly...
From Fierman Sam at 2007-08-12 19:51:20 : OMG!
From James Fairchild at 2007-08-14 09:40:58 : Wow Owen this is different - does it have a deep and meaningful interpretation behind it, or did you do this after coming back from the pub? The coaches look sort of Dublin DART network colours, maybe this is the plan to recycle class 86's for the Anglo-Irish tunnel?
From Matt at 2007-08-22 14:00:57 : Given the above comment about the anglo irish tunnel, does NC stand for Northern Counties [Committee] - ie the old Midland Railway/LMS network in NOrthern Ireland?
From sean at 2007-10-08 21:06:27 : Was the original picture of the class 86 farewell tour
From The GWR at 2007-10-29 19:37:07 : Yikes!
From ralph at 2008-10-28 19:55:25 : Be Afraid! Be Very Very Afraid!
From Rich at 2008-11-28 03:58:30 : The stock looks a lot like the Metlink liveried ex-Mk2s now used on the Wairarapa Connection and Hutt Valley services. The 'leccies for that are red though!
