Guess the Train...

Lord Dowding aka braunton

 

[Ash Bridge]

I'm going to take a punt on a Castle, maybe 5043 Earl of Mount Edgecombe?

Excellent work Mr Cowley

 

[Cowley]

Nice. I do love a Castle.
Returning to - Guess the smokebox dart (don't worry, there's only 15 more of these). Here's one I made earlier.
A clue though. It's not Southern or GWR.

 

[RJ21]

Does it carry a number 60163?

 

[Cowley]

Does it carry a number 60163?

Afraid not. In fact the number doesn't begin with six anything (that narrows it down somewhat).

 

[Ash Bridge]

Is it a black five?

 

[GusB]

I reckon it's LNER - Green Arrow?

 

[Cowley]

Is it a black five?

Not a Black 5 but the right big four area.

 

[Cowley]

I reckon it's LNER - Green Arrow?

No. Green Arrow's not mainline registered anymore.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Not a Black 5 but the right big four area.

Are there any Black 8s currently certified? If so, that's my entry...

 

[Cowley]

Are there any Black 8s currently certified? If so, that's my entry...

No. A bit more 'express' than that...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

No. A bit more 'express' than that...

Duchess of Sutherland...?

 

[Ash Bridge]

And I will have a stab at 46100 Royal Scot?

 

[Cowley]

And I will have a stab at 46100 Royal Scot?

Behold the great reveal (what a handsome looking machine). Sorry Peter, Mr Bridge wins it.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Very nice! Is that Bridgnorth?

Give this one a try...

 

[RJ21]

Looks like the roof of a 158.

 

[Cowley]

Yes it was Bridgenorth . Is it a 175?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Looks like the roof of a 158.

Not quite but I think it's close enough, on Mr Cowley's patch too (hope he doesn't mind)

 

[RJ21]

Here's another roofline.

 

[A Challenge]

That's a 159 isn't it?

 

[RJ21]

No, it's not a 159, I am not that cruel.

 

[A Challenge]

No I mean the previous one by Ash Bridge! As for that one, I am not too sure!

 

[Ash Bridge]

It looks rather like Carlisle to me, and is that a TPE 350?

 

[RJ21]

It's Edinburgh Waverley rather than Carlisle, but it is a TPE 350.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Instead of trying to be clever in future I'll just stick to naming the train

What is this nameplate, and what class of locomotive is it attached to, and for a bonus point where is the location (Only joking

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Is it 73 136 Mhairi?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Not that one Peter.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Then is it 43274 Spirit of Sunderland before it got put into the current VTEC livery?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Neither that one, if of any help it still wears the same colours as in this shot.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Well, it looks blue to me but assuming that might be an optical illusion, I'll throw in the green one 66 597 Viridor.
