Guess the Train...

[RJ21]

Class 319?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Class 319?

That's the one

 

[RJ21]

I was torn between that and a 150. I doubt this will last long.

 

[Cowley]

Is that the slidey door runner bit on a 43 RJ?

 

[RJ21]

It most certainly is, taken on a wet afternoon at Thatcham.

 

[Cowley]

Aha.
Ok then, here's this.

 

[GusB]

Going by the colour, I suspect it's a Network Rail thing. Can't think of anything with a big square hole, though - I'll take a punt at a class 31.

Not a 31 Gus, I'm quite glad in a way that you got it wrong as if Ash Bridge or Dhassell looked at it they'd rumble me straight away...
You got the Network Rail bit right.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I suspect it one of the same Mobile Maintenance Train things I posted recently on this thread?

Open floor if it is.

 

[Cowley]

It's not quite one of those. It's slightly different and has a more specific job.

 

[Trainfan344]

Is it a tamper?

 

[Ash Bridge]

It must be one of those new railgrinding units they've been testing/commissioning up at Okehampton Mr C?

Yes indeed it is. Well done.
Here's the yellow thingy. Over to you Mr Bridge.

Thanks Mr Cowley, this is the best I can offer at the moment and I really don't think it will last long...

 

[Cowley]

I can't work this out at all. Is it a class 90?

 

[GusB]

I think the livery is GWR. Is it a bit of HST?

Sorry Mr C, but not a class 90.

Gus you are closer in fact spot on with the livery, but it's not a HST.

 

[Dhassell]

Class 800?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Class 800?

Not one of those either Dhass.

 

[GusB]

Methinks sprinter of some kind - I'll say 153.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Sorry to say...No

 

[Cowley]

Right I'm not taking this lying down.
Is it a mk3?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Nope Sorry

 

[Cowley]

Nope Sorry

Wow I'm really stumped. Is it possibly a 387?

 

[GusB]

Sorry to say...No

Computer says no. Damn.

It is GWR.

It is not a 153, nor an 800. Nor its it Mk3 whether HST trailer or loco-hauled. Was that "no" a "no, it's not a Sprinter", or specifically "no, it's not a 153"?

Straws. Clutching.

 

[SpacePhoenix]

Class 57? Open floor if I'm right

 

[Cowley]

I'm going to sleep on it (I'm a man of action).

 

[FQ]

A 166?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Mr Cowley has it! brand new 387154 being dragged out of Derby Litchurch Lane (sorry Bombardier Transportation) and onto the national network for the first time on 30th May 2017,

Well done sir over to you.

 

[Cowley]

Ah thanks. Great photo, it was the funny thing in the cab window that was confusing.
Have a go at this one then
(I'm getting a bit short of photos now I must say).
