British Rail Class 87

Description
The Class 87s were a 36 strong fleet of West Coast Mainline workhorses, built between 1973 and 1975 at Crewe. They featured space-age technology such as rheostatic brakes and 4 separately excited DC traction motors. One member of the class, originally planned as 87036, was built with completely different internals and assigned the /1 subclass. 87101 proved successful and a new subclass of Class 87s using the same internals, but with a sleeker, more streamlined look, were planned, dubbed the 87/2s or InterCity 175; these were reclassified to Class 90 before entering service.

- 110mph top speed
- 258kN tractive effort per car
- 3700kW
- Available in 13 liveries, first appearing in 1973
- Fully detailed interior
- 2 LODs
- Assets

Thanks to Funclive for doing most of the liveries and pestering me enough to finally make this.
Thanks to MrTransportGuy for providing the Brecknell-Willis High Speed pantograph model.
I thank everyone, especially my patrons for their support. - Enjoy.

Not enough? Maybe becoming a patron is for you then!
