Bulgarian class 87s
In the spring of this year I was lucky enough to get the chance of a depot visit to veiw some of the class 87s locos which have been exported to the country.
The lastest new I have from Bulgaria is that a rake of mrk 3 coaches are to be sent over very soon:cool: Some pic at http://kevindelaney877.fotopic.net/c1703517.html |
It's amazing how much of their "Britishness" they loose when you take the yellow end away.
I sware we must be the only country who uses that practice. |
We are, however I am told that the practice is under review.
|
I grew up with all yellow ends on the loco's and find loco's look strange without them.
But what with all the headlights fitted these days perhaps this original safety feature is now redundent. |

IMO it's not only safer, it's proper, dammit. :D |
