Under the earlier BR classification system, the type was given the designation AL6 (meaning the sixth design of AC locomotive) and locomotives were numbered E3101–E3200. In 1968, this was changed to Class 86 when British Rail introduced the TOPS classification system.

2024年7月11日 · The AL6 design was produced ostensibly from the experience gained with the first five designs in the early years of the WCML electrification. It featured a general construction design and bogies closely following those of the AL5, high-tension tap changing (power control) pioneered on the AL2 and a completely modular interior based around the ...

2024年7月22日 · British Rail at Doncaster Works, along with English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry works would produce a standard production AC Locomotive which would be called the AL6. The AL6 was very similar to the prototype locomotives taking design elements such as the general construction of the bodies and bogies and control systems.

The Class 86s, originally known as AL6s, were part of the the first generation electric locomotives that replaced steam on British railways. ...more.

The British Rail Class 86 is the standard electric locomotive built during the 1960s. One hundred of these locomotives were built from 1965 to 1966 by either English Electric at Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows, or British Rail (BR) at their Doncaster works.

2020年4月21日 · Originally designed as AL6 locos and numbered E3101-E3200 but with British Rail starting to use the TOPS (Total Operations Processing System) in the early 1970s they were all classified as class 86 with various sub classes to denote various modifications over the years to gearing, suspension and heating.

Details: Between 1964 and 1965, 100 AL6 AC electric locomotives were constructed, with 60 being built by English Electric Vulcan Works at Newton-le-Willows and 40 at BR’s own Doncaster Works. In operation the class has seen a number of changes over the years.
