Hmm, I have quite a library of 3rd Rail shots, time to have a rummage.

*Waits for the inevitable complaints about people not being near 3rd rail*

I got nothing for this one

 

[Ferret]

It's a git of a subject, but I think I have a couple, albeit not taken on 3rd rail lines!

Doesnt say 3rd rail lines only 3rd rail traction,so if you have a picture of a VEP at Inverness now would be a good time

Question, do 350/1s count as they were delivered with the 3rd rail gear fitted although it wasnt used until the stock swap around which got the on the Milton Keynes to East Croydons, so would a picture count if it is on OHL at Crewe?
No I am not entering the comp as I dont do digital much (I am old )

At the end of the day, a Class 87 being dragged by a Class 47 is still an electric loco, so I don't see why not. Anything that was built to run off 3rd rails is welcome. And before the complaining starts, I've lived my entire life on the outskirts of Birmingham.

It's not as though third-rail is that restricted anyway. Yes, it may be concentrated in the south. But it's not the only area with it. Anyone who lives in or near Liverpool will have a field day!

(Why didn't I have my camera with me yesterday afternoon...?)

I'd love to go on that tour

Are images of dual voltage EMUs valid?

I thought I'd helped clear this up by saying 350s are. If it was built, or is modified as such in the entry, to be dual then it's fine. Anything able to use power from a 3rd rail for traction is allowed.

Class 92's,class 350's and preserved 73's for the Brummie fraternity then

Oh and class 325's !

 

[Jordy]

Not 350/2s tho

 

[atomicdanny]

Does this also mean that 365s can be included as well? since they did used to run on 3rd rail? (some of them did with Connex South Eastern and South Eastern Trains)

 

[Lampshade]

Yep, anything that has the ability to, or has run on 3rd rail, I think this includes Eurostar and Javelin as well.

 

[Old Timer]

What about foreign third rail

 

[Dennis]

Yes - not sure about funicular railways though.

 

[odol]

10 and 16 are the best for me. Why cant vote for both?
Finally I go with 10.
