Description Inspired by and within the same universe of 's scrapyard engines.
(I can't for the life of me do human facial structure, and I'm around electrics a lot, so I didn't go with a face.)

"Oh! An enthusiast! Hi!" Spluttered the EF1, he was extremely surprised to see an actual person talking to him. "I'm George, and er... I haul coal." He thought to himself, 'No! You messed it up, go and fix it.' "W-Well, not any more, I haven't been needed for a while, and these nice gents have taken out one of my air compressors. I think it's being rebuilt, so one day I should be able to get 'round to pulling trains again." The enthusiast looked at the ground, puzzled by the missing bits of electrical gubbins, scattered in a disorderly mess. He didn't say anything, and took some more photos on his flat sheet of glass. "Oh! And there's another thing! Have you heard about what's been going on at Peel Godred? That's where I work, and I've heard these diesels talking about bringing George down there, but strangely they've been avoiding me as usual. Any ideas?" He looked down at the enthusiast, and saw a look of concern on his face, hidden behind an awkward smile. It would've crushed him to know that the line had been turned into a rail-trail.

(I have a second character in mind, Sarah. And no, it's not a 'Met loco!)

Because for some reason, people just dump electric locos in the same bucket as diesels.

Oh, have you seen Sarah?

He doesn't realize it yet, but that vacuum pump probably isn't going back in.

I thought it'd diversify your scrapyard a bit if there was an electric in there, and unfortunately this happens a lot more often here in the U.S. It's to the point where there are probably more working steam locomotives in preservation than electric locomotives (I'm not counting multiple units though)

Awwwww poor guy. Well if he's in my scrapyard then they won't kill him, he'd end up dying before he gets cut up. Having a few parts removed does happen so long as it isn't too uncomfortable for the engines.

That's fine, I'm sure George wouldn't be too affected with the vac. pumps out, after all they just give him nasal congestion in colder months.

Eh? Now you see why I draw electric locos like that!

Nice!

I almost mistaken this guy for an Italian E626 electric locomotive.

Ah, they are quite similar looking, maybe English Electric had a hand in their design too?
