Throughout the 1970s, the class saw use on both express passenger and freight services. Class 86\/0 locomotives had their maximum speed reduced to 80 mph in 1979, due to the excessive rough riding and were then used mainly on freight, whilst the higher-speed Class 86\/1 and Class 86\/2 tended to be used primarily for passenger trains. By the end of the 1980s, the need for a standard fleet saw all remaining Class 86\/0 and Class 86\/3 locomotives fitted with improved suspension and converted to Class 86\/4. These locomotives were now inter-operable with Class 86\/2 and thus gave greater operational flexibility. In the late-1980s and early-1990s, the majority of the Class 86\/4 subclass were dedicated to freight traffic. As a result, they had their electric train heating isolated and their maximum speed reduced to 75 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese locomotives were reclassified as Class 86\/6 and were renumbered by adding 200 to their number. Starting on 10 May 1992, six Class 86\/6s were returned to Parcels use. These were renumbered back to class 86\/4, as follows: 86405, 86411, 86414, 86415, 86428 and 86431. All six remained in Railfreight Triple Grey livery. The Railfreight sector introduced its new two tone grey livery in 1987, initially without sub-sector logos due to shared operations on speedlink and Freightliner duties. Four Class 86s received Railfreight General logos from June 1988, but all Class 86\/6 locomotives carried Railfreight Distribution livery beginning in January 1990. Finally, the parcels sector introduced a new red and grey livery with repaints from July 1990 to July 1991, which was replaced with Rail Express Systems livery applied between December 1991 to February 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heljan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56363490869632,"sku":"HEL-8649-PO","price":129.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_2289_5e4d56ed-c66e-4a40-856e-fdc73d0aff99.jpg?v=1754920404","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/heljan-8649-po-pre-owned-class-86-br-blue-no-86402-electric-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
