After enjoying Andy’s thread so much I thought I would try a thread on the 5 best looking or favorite electric locomotives. My 5 picks are as follows: 1. GG1 in Brunswick green and with 5 stripes is the best looking for all-time 2. P5a has similar character of a GG1 3. EP-5 Jet in the McGinnis paint scheme 4. E-44 always amazes me how nice a box can look 5. EP-4 very elegant So what are your top 5 electrics and why?

Freshly painted in the "new" rail blue livery, but still carrying it's pre-tops number E5007. Later to become 71007. You can just see one of the the old central division electric locos in the shed, which were known as hornbys, and would have been class 70, had they lasted long enough. May 30 1968. One of my earliest forays into railway photography, wish I had taken more at that time.

When building a new line to Bell Bay, TGR ordered four English Electric 2350 hp locos. Two were delivered in 1976, with ZA 6 being the final locomotive GEC Australia and last English Electric locomotive built anywhere. In March 1978 the ZA class were transferred to AN. From 1982, their vacuum brakes were replaced with air brakes. In June 1998 the five in service were renumbered 2114 class. In May 2014, 2114 joined 2115 and 2118 in storage and the other three were scrapped.
Photographs in this gallery are of diesel and electric locos built or ordered by the Big Four Railway Companies and those protypes built by BR, concluding I suppose with HS4000 KESTREL. None of these pictures were taken by me, all have been bought and are part of my collection.

Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
