Guess the Train...

[GusB]

Hmm, the white lettering looks like "Emergency Coupling", so I'm going to have a guess at a 57?

You're right about the lettering; not a 57 though

Can you drop a clue, it could be almost anything lol.

It's not a loco

It's not a loco

If it's a unit of some kind, then it must be something that isn't routinely coupled to anything else. Is it too soon to be a 390 again?

It's not a 390

 

[Ash Bridge]

That looks like a 142...well to me at least

 

[DanNCL]

I knew saying it was a multiple unit would give it away!

 

[Ash Bridge]

Well at least you didn't say glorified freight wagon or bus on rails

So.....can anyone guess the train we are onboard?

(And for 100 bonus points tell me where it's passing to within 100m ? )

 

[DanNCL]

That looks like first class, I'm going to guess a 221 (I have no idea where that is btw)

That would be amazing if you could guess the location Dan! It's not a 221(or 220) though.

I honestly have no idea where that is, but if I had to take a guess I'd say it's somewhere on the WCML. My next guess would be a class 350?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Well it's not a 350, but this type of train does operate over parts of the WCML.

 

[DanNCL]

Class 185?

 

[Cowley]

Yep I reckon a 185 somewhere near Calcutta.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Class 185?

Spot on!

 

[DanNCL]

Spot on!

I still have no idea where that is btw

I put a new one up in a few minutes

 

[Cowley]

That lampshade’s wonky. Did you nudge it while arranging the nice things for the photo?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Yep I reckon a 185 somewhere near Calcutta.

Very close there Mr Cowley! (Not)

 

[Ash Bridge]

About 1 mile south of Stockport, so nowhere of note really Dan.

That lampshade’s wonky. Did you nudge it while arranging the nice things for the photo?

No it was half unscrewed in readiness for its refurbishment!

 

[DanNCL]

Here we go

 

[Ash Bridge]

150?.

 

[DanNCL]

150?.

Not a 150

 

[Cowley]

Ooh I love a bar.
Class 319?

 

[DanNCL]

Not a 319

 

[Cowley]

I give up.
No hang on.
A 56?

 

[DanNCL]

A 56?

Not a 56

A hint (though hopefully not a giveaway); it's not a loco

 

[Ash Bridge]

Class 155?

 

[DanNCL]

Class 155?

I'm going to have to stop giving hints!

 

[Ash Bridge]

Ah, surprised myself there! Give me a moment and I'll upload a picture, the one I have in mind should be quite easy but it's all that I've got at the moment. Will be back online in the morning.
