This item is Brand New and in immaculate condition throughout.

87006 entered traffic in November 1973 and was named 'City of Glasgow' between December 1977 and 1987. After this, it was briefly named 'Glasgow Garden Festival' until 1989, at which point it returned to being called 'City of Glasgow' until 1997.

In 1984, 87006 and 87012 were selected to trial new liveries in advance of an improved 110mph service on the WCML. 87006 received a version of the large-logo livery, but with dark grey as the base colour rather than Rail Blue, while 87012 received a version of the APT-P livery, which became known as InterCity Executive livery. In 2009 87006 was one of the class to be exported to work for the Bulgarian Railway Company.
