I've managed to resist posting any cars other than Italian ones so far. But then there is the Porsche 969...
Fortunately there is also the Luaz 969 too

I've never heard of it before either

Extra points for the bike reference

Did you mean Middleburn, for the bike

I don't really know enough about them other than they were withdrawn in the early '80s, and have some sort of substance or material in them that is toxic if it is exposed (no, not asbestos). I think they are not allowed to run on the mainline now in case there is a collision and it all comes out.

How I remember it though, offt, a right blast from the past here. Taken at the Crewe Basford Hall open day in August 1995 (I was there but it isn't my picture obviously, although it could have been with quality like that at the time.... Picture only uploaded in 2012 Classic, not taken ).

A quick Google says:
GG1 electric locomotive 926 was built in 1943 by the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Juniata Shops in
Altoona, PA, as number 4933. It served electrified territory on the PRR from Penn Station in New York
City to Harrisburg. When the PRR was merged into the Penn Central, the road number 4933 was retained.
The locomotive operated under catenary, picking up power through roof-mounted pantographs. It could
reach speeds of 100 mph in passenger service. It was famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy who
urged that GG1 bodies be welded to improve appearance and who designed the famous PRR pinstripe
paint scheme (

). In 1971, #4933 was transferred to Amtrak ownership, where it was first
renumbered as 4926, and later, 926. Amtrak retired the GG1s in 1981. CNY NRHS member Ollie
Kenyon purchased the 926 and donated it to the CNY Chapter. For many years, it was displayed here
in classic PRR livery

Must have been impressive pulling into a train station in the mid 1940's.

I might be out of this. I've been away 3 days, and now I am 9 pages behind

You're not out, just jump in with the number we're at.

Not strictly 975 in its own right, but another chance to show (part of) a Blackbird
