Title:
R.I.P 87022 'Cock O the North' Dec 29th 20007

Description:
Due to defective West Coast Railway Company Stock the fully booked out 'Electric Scot Farewell Tour' had to be cancelled at Wolverhampton with CDL Problems. This was a huge dissapointment to all the people who were hoping to travel on the tour that day. No two people felt it more than myself and best friend '87006' who grew up with these amazing loco's on our back door step in Macclesfield. Only to see them replaced by Italian pieces of plastic that Virgin preferred to 'Proper Locos!'..! So after 34 Years of relieable service The 'Electric Scots' died out without a send off.. :( At least the AC Loco Group rescued 87002 later in 2008!! Please rate and comment.. Many Thanks 87002theBEAST

87028 is seen passing Plat 5 at Crewe in December 2007. Unfortunately heard in the background is a stupid Pendolino which took over these wonderful AC Electric Locomotives. This was one of 87028's last workings before being stored prior to export to Bulgaria.

York and Northallerton 22-05-2009.. HELFIRE!
Felt like a change from the same old plastic plastic plastic on the WCML so went for a days bashing and filming on the East Coast instead. Such a better range of traction from Virgins crap hole..!! The Grand Central Valenta's put in another fine showing with plenty of thrash and scream! Even though Nat-Ex have no longer got any Val's the mtu's are still just as good and do sound very rateable in notch 3 and above, and their tones are simply awesome, especially the Arriva XC sets. Some great ...
