Guess the Train...

[Trainfan344]

Looks blue to me, I'm going Class 175

 

[Ash Bridge]

That's green, and with the thin band underneath it can surely only be a London Midland class 323?


Open floor if right unless you want to wait until tonight for the next one!

Spot on with your unit class suggestion Peter, so on that count the winners medal should be yours, but as far as operator is concerned....

 

[A Challenge]

I thought it was ATW!

 

[Ash Bridge]

I thought it was ATW!

Yes, the colour of that front skirt certainly resembles ATWs turquoise doesn't it.

Ha! Never realised Northern had green on their lower bits!

Right, as nobody has taken the floor and it's now tonight I will have one up in a few minutes... watch this space...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Here is the next entry - it doesn't look like it at first glance, but yes this can be found on the UK main lines. Indeed, I took the picture on a main line earlier this month...

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Is it one of those yellow Mobile Maintenance thingies?

 

[Cowley]

I was thinking a Tamper of some sort? But I think Merthyr Imp may have covered it.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Indeed he has...

It's 97505 on the curve between Trent East Junction and Toton South Junction last Monday 19th June.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

This may not be too difficult.

 

[Trainfan344]

Class 37?

 

[Cowley]

I think that's a 67.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

I think that's a 67.

Correct!

 

[Cowley]

Nice. I'm going to be too busy to check today so I'll say open floor this time

 

[Trainfan344]

I'll take the floor then with this... Hopefully it's a difficult one.

 

[Ash Bridge]

It looks like the lower part of the gangway connection mechanism on a sprinter but which derivative I don't know, so hazarding a guess I'll go for a 150?

 

[Trainfan344]

Not a 150...

 

[Trainfan344]

Do I need to make this slightly easier?

 

[Cowley]

Well I'm going to tag onto the back of Mr Bridge's guess and say 153?

 

[Trainfan344]

Nope, I'll give a clue, it's not in the Sprinter class...

 

[SpacePhoenix]

class 450? open floor if i've got it

 

[Trainfan344]

Not a class 450 either!

 

[Trainfan344]

Since we've still not had a correct answer I've zoomed out a little to make it slightly easier.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Looking rather like a class 458 now?

 

[trainmania100]

450
Open floor if correct

 

[Trainfan344]

Looking rather like a class 458 now?

Correct!

450
Open floor if correct

450 had already been guessed!

 

[Ash Bridge]

Correct!



450 had already been guessed!

Thanks, that extra detail you provided certainly helped with that one... see what you make of this?

 

[Cowley]

Is that a bit of a steam loco possibly?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Is that a bit of a steam loco possibly?

Definitely not a steam loco Mr C.

 

[Cowley]

I'm going to try for a Freightliner class 86 then Mr Bridge?
