Guess the Train...

[Cowley]

And its crossing Arnside viaduct if I'm not mistaken?

Spot on sir.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Not sure how long this'll last

387/2 and open floor.

 

[185143]

387/2 and open floor.

Or not... its not a 387!

 

[Ash Bridge]

Could it be a Virgin 221?

 

[backontrack]

EM Class 153?

 

[A Challenge]

VTEC HST Power Car?

 

[185143]

Could it be a Virgin 221?

It certainly could be...

 

[Ash Bridge]

It certainly could be...

Thanks 185,

Perhaps this one won't last too long either...

 

[Cowley]

Is that one of them there 37s from EuroPhoenix?
It looks like it's got a funny coupler.

Excellent. Thank you.

Try this one for size.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

35028 Clan Line?

 

[Cowley]

35028 Clan Line?

Well done Peter.
Here is the mighty machine whistling through St David's non stop on Sunday.
Over to you.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Or even 34046 Braunton?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Try this then... bonus points for identification of the exact number as well...

 

[Cowley]

I'll give 37025 a go?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Well... that was quicker than I expected. still - at least I know you are paying attention to my tweeting...?

( I haven't tweeted the picture yet but I did mention in a discussion coming across that loco at Penzance... )

 

[Cowley]

Thanks Peter. I've never used Twitter, just a wild stab in the dark. I nearly went for one of the Cumbrian Coast ones instead.

I'm a bit short of photos but try this.

 

[A Challenge]

Class 185?

 

[Cowley]

Class 185?

I'm afraid not

 

[Dhassell]

Class 33?

 

[Cowley]

Class 33?

Not a 33 Dhass.

 

[Dhassell]

GWR Class 57?

 

[Cowley]

GWR Class 57?

That's the one well done.

 

[Dhassell]

Completely forgot about this, Open Floor. Sorry :P

 

[185143]

The picture is taken onboard the train if that helps at all?

 

[RJ21]

I think I know where it was taken, give or take a twenty yards, so this should be the game of go through the stock on that route. Droplight window of a Mk.3 sandwiched into an HST?

Certainly is! Where do you think it was taken?

 

[RJ21]

In the vicinity of SK 511339 near Attenborough, Notts, looking across the lake at the nature reserve.

Here's another taken from a train, but of it's shadow on a field of barley.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Hmmm... could that be a 68 on the Anglia short set?




I can think of two other possibilities, so it is highly likely to be one of the other two...!!
