Are we looking at the roof of a 56?

Are we looking at the roof of a 56?

A roof, yes; a 56 - no.

 

[superalbs]

Can’t mistake those colours and that grill!

Class 73?

Not one of those, though this type was also built in the 1960s.

Is it a 37?

 

[FrodshamJnct]

it isn’t. These locos were built at Loughborough and Crewe.

This image is due to take 20 minutes to download on my connection, so I guess I'll sit this one out.

Going off the top half, is it a 60?

 

[Ashley Hill]

Going off the top half, is it a 60?

I said it’ll go quick. A 60 it is.

 

[superalbs]

Cool!

As I've not been on many UK trips lately, I'll go open floor.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Ok,I’ll have another go.

 

[Trainguy34]

GX 387?

 

[Ashley Hill]

GX 387?

I’m making these too easy.

Over to you.

 

[Trainguy34]

When you get one bit, it'll be easy (I hope!)

 

[_toommm_]

67?

 

[superalbs]

When you get one bit, it'll be easy (I hope!)

Perhaps we can have a clue, as there has been no activity for 10 days.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

If it's the top of a crest rather than a nameplate, then 67 005 or 67 006...?

 

[Trainguy34]

If it's the top of a crest rather than a nameplate, then 67 005 or 67 006...?

Correct!

Perhaps we can have a clue, as there has been no activity for 10 days.

In all honesty, I slightly forgot about this...

 

[superalbs]

67?

It was already guessed by @_toommm_.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

It was already guessed by @_toommm_.

It was indeed... probably using the same deduction as me?

 

[superalbs]

It was indeed... probably using the same deduction as me?

If somebody hadn't said 67, that was going to be my guess too, with the same logic!

 

[_toommm_]

I’ll open the floor, possibly to @Peter Mugridge

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Thank you; I will post something this evening - I'm at work at the moment.

I'll try not to make it too fiendishly cropped...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

...here it is... and trust me, I really could have made it a lot more fiendish than I have!
