Guess the Train...

[FQ]

Is it a 507?

 

[Dhassell]

Is it a 507?

Correct

 

[FQ]

Try this one. Bonus points if you get the actual number, not just the class.

 

[Cowley]

Well I'm struggling with this one. I'm going to say 73968? There I've said it.

 

[FQ]

Nope, it isn't a 73.

 

[Ash Bridge]

I was thinking a 67, possibly 67013?

 

[FQ]

It is a 67, yep. I didn't think it'd last long!

It's actually 67013, while it was working for Chiltern, so it was a 67 with a Welsh nameplate working pretty much only for a passenger company in England, yet it has a Scottish flag on the front.

 

[Cowley]

I was just looking through pictures of them trying to find one with a sticker on the front. I need to get out more.

Not just you, We Were!

I've got to mention I'm beginning to exhaust the photos that are currently stored on my iPad at the rate we are going on this quiz, need to do a bit of uploading soon,

Anyway here's another...

 

[Cowley]

Same here, better start getting a few more photos.
Is that a 221?

 

[J-2739]

Or a 220?

Mr Cowley holds the winning ticket, double Virgin 221s at Crewe July 2016.

 

[Cowley]

Wow, with a certain something in the background looking rather nice. Right give me a minute.

Ok, try this intriguing looking doorway for size folks. Mr Bridge may be pleased to note that this wasn't taken within two miles of my house for a change .

 

[Ash Bridge]

It looks like the transverse passageway behind the driving cab of one of the larger types of first generation diesel locomotives, the trouble is which? Will have a not very confident guess at a class 52.

Class 35

Damn you're good! I thought it'd take a bit longer than that, I was so careful not to reveal any of D1015s livery too.
Behold the beast, taken at the Severn Valley on my birthday last year.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Actually that was a pure guess, didn't think it was a Deltic as they had a sort of acoustic curtain that could be drawn behind the main cab area, also couldn't remember how a Warship was so plumped for the Western,

Here's the next one...taken at Stockport Station, shouldn't be too difficult!

 

[RJ21]

The horror, a trip to South Wales on a 150.

 

[trainmania100]

158 sprinter
Not my day today keep missing out on the first guess

Ha ha, I thought someone local would get it first, seems that it's not an unusual occurrence on a Sunday, to be fair I think those ATW versions are fitted out a tad more suitably that our own awful Northern equivalents yuk!

 

[RJ21]

They do seem to appear on Sundays, I saw one on a Saturday evening recently.

This next one may last a while, I took the photo to show the principle of measure twice cut once.

 

[cactustwirly]

class 168?

 

[RJ21]

No, a clue, it's an EMU.

 

[dgl]

GA Class 379?

 

[A Challenge]

Class 390?

 

[trainmania100]

Class 395

 

[RJ21]

None of the above.

 

[A Challenge]

Class 220?

 

[Cowley]

I'm so out of touch I don't have a clue what has sockets like that, so I'll say a mk3 of some sort?

 

[GW43125]

That looks like it may be SR branding so I'm going to say a 380?
