I'm thinking of a train class..

[Temple Meads]

Class 87?

It could be anything.

Not an 87.

First clue after another 2 wrong.

 

[150222]

Class 156?

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 156?

Not a 156 no.

 

[Ivo]

150

 

[gnolife]

class 153?

 

[Temple Meads]

Neither, it's not got a Cummins engine.

 

[gnolife]

um. Have 318s run in England?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not a 318.

 

[Ivo]

I don't really like it that much when there are multiple answers for one set of clues; too much luck involved - something I never seem to have

Which of the 30x units ran in both England and Scotland? Did the 309? (Consults Wiki...)
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
OK; make that the 305. <<< MY CURRENT ANSWER

305 is bang on, nice job Scott

 

[Ivo]

Merci, mon ami! I complained for nothing :roll:

Next up:

Built in the third quarter of the 20th century, this unit spent much of its twilight period running jointly with very similar units of a different class, before going on to achieve fame after its revenue days were over through a rather unlikely source and for an unusual reason; the unit that achieved this unusual fame also had a modification made that technically saw it become the earliest in the TOPS range to feature a certain highly valued capability. It was once a common sight in at least one PTE area and featured an unusual, but not unique, cab design feature.

 

[Temple Meads]

Hastings DEMU, because of that Caroline inspection inspection saloon somehow?
Not a very good guess I know

 

[Ivo]

Either way, it isn't correct.

 

[Schnellzug]

Class 101 DMU, which became Daisy the Railcar.

 

[Ivo]

Not correct. I don't see how it matches the TOPS clue?

 

[gg1]

class 307?

 

[Ivo]

A decent shout, but not correct.

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 33 by any chance?

 

[Class172]

Class 309?

Gangways?

 

[Ivo]

The 309 is not correct. Plenty beat the gangways idea.

How does 33 work?

 

[Class172]

Class 303?

Sliding Doors?

 

[Ivo]

Are you making these up?

Still not correct. However, you seem to have got the idea that the class in question is a 3xx.

 

[Temple Meads]

The 309 is not correct. Plenty beat the gangways idea.

How does 33 work?

33 having controls either side, and being modified for the Weymouth Quay (think it's Weymouth anyway) line.
Anyway just seen you said unit, I'll try Class 321?

 

[Ivo]

Fair enough. To date though I don't think anything has matched the twilight clue?

321 included I'm afraid...

 

[Class172]

Class 313?

Dual Voltage?

 

[Ivo]

You've got the right idea, but still not correct.

 

[Class172]

Problem is I don't know in which way I'm right - I don't know if it's PEP based, dual-voltage or something else.

Class 319?

Open floor if correct.

 

[Ivo]

If I said how you were correct it wouldn't last long... sod it. The dual-voltage bit was right. There aren't many that precede 313 that haven't yet been...

 

[Schnellzug]

Fair enough. To date though I don't think anything has matched the twilight clue?

321 included I'm afraid...

twilight clue...? You mean it's a vampire? .

Sorry.

Those EMUs that moved up to Yorkshire ex Great Eastern; 30 something. 305?

 

[Ivo]

Grr... At least you didn't mention a certain franchise. Like I just did

Not a 305. Everyone place your bets; I'll look in about five minutes and say if anyone is correct.
