The AC Locomotive Group have been a feature of the Barrow Hill depot and roundhouse since its early years of operation and remains a fixed feature. They are the custodians of a number of AC electrics from the various classes with some kept at Barrow Hill undergoing restoration. Among them is 85006 looking very smart in its BR blue, despite it being applied way back in 2013 by Boden Rail at Washwood Heath. The locomotive has been electrically restored and tested but the roarer is unlikely to see action on the mainline again.
