Prototype Era
Era 9 (1995 to 2004) Initial Privatisation
BR’s standard 25kV AC electric locomotive of the late-1960s, developed using experience gained with the earlier ‘AL1’ to ‘AL5’ classes. A handful of ‘86s’ remain in use today both in the UK and overseas. This latest variant features a number of improvements over our previous Class 86s, including separately switchable tail lights in DCC mode. It focuses on the previously overlooked mixed traffic ‘86/4’ and freight-only ‘86/6’ sub-classes modified from the mid-1980s onwards.
Models are supplied with either a Faiveley (*) or Brecknell Willis high-speed (+) pantograph.

SPECIFICATIONS
* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.
