70001 - Anyone know if it's currently at Midland Road?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it is. Been there for a few weeks now "on repair".

 

[stuartmoss]

Great, thanks!

Y'know, when 70013 is built, it's going to be a bit confusing trying to determine what loco people mean when they just give the number when talking about it.

Even better if they also name it Oliver Cromwell

I'm confused enough about 60007, 60009, 60019 and 60022. :?

For Mallard I tend to say "six-oh-oh-two-two"
For the Bruiser I tend to say "sixty-oh-two-two"

I've always went like "Six zero two two". Although when thinking of Mallard's number, I always think 4468.

What I really don't get (yet somehow picked up naturally) is what we call classes of trains like 156 = "One Five Six" and 158 = "One Five Eight", yet 170 = One Seventy and not "One Seven Zero" and 390 = "Three Ninety" instead of "Three Nine Zero".

That might be worth a whole thread, but to me the 310 was the "Three-One-Oh" (or "Ay-Em-Ten" if I was feeling eccentric). Not sure about the 110.

Although I will say "four five oh" "one five oh"

Is that 70001 Lord Hurcomb?

Is that 70001 Lord Hurcomb?

I'm not sure but I read it as "seventy-double-oh-one"

Well when they talk about Freightliners 70013 they'll just have to say '70013 you know? the ugly one?'
