Guess The UK Train Class

[Class172]

Class 150?

 

[Phil6219]

Class 47?

 

[Eng274]

Class 87 in virgin livery?

 

[Temple Meads]

None of them.

 

[Class172]

Class 442?

 

[Temple Meads]

No, not an EMU either.

 

[sprinterguy]

The only thing it reminds me of is a mark 3B DVT, but it's already been said that it isn't any type of mark 3 carriage.

 

[Class172]

Hmm… looks like a cab window to me.

Class 58?

 

[Temple Meads]

Hmm… looks like a cab window to me.

Class 58?

Not a 58.

But yes, it is a cab window..

 

[Wim G.P.R]

It's a rather bad shot of the cabside window and the Drivers name slot on a Warship.

 

[Class172]

Errm… Class 76?

 

[Phil6219]

Hmm class 56 then?

Open floor if correct.

[Temple Meads]

It's a rather bad shot of the cabside window and the Drivers name slot on a Warship.

It most certainly is, over to you.

 

[Wim G.P.R]

Well here is my punt at this.

 

[Eng274]

Class 40?

 

[LE Greys]

Britannia tender?

 

[Wim G.P.R]

Class 40?

Er no..

Britannia tender?

Could be, but no.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Class 45, probably the innermost axle on one of the bogies.


Floor open if it is.

 

[LE Greys]

If it's not a Brit, then I'm going Standard 5. Leaf spring and that axlebox says Standard to me.

 

[Wim G.P.R]

A clue I think.

A 45 is not correct.

Although I do think you can see a BR Std tender underframe there, but it could be a view of something LMS or SR for example.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I'll take that to be confirmation that it is definitely a steam loco tender, so let's try the Stanier 8F to start off with...


Coal hole open if it is!

 

[Wim G.P.R]

Another clue.

It's on a loco that I may have travelled behind on a Cross Country working from Cardiff in the late 70's.

In those days the odd lower powered version, brought a freight in to STJ.

I preferred a 45 to me it sounded better.

I was more electric about them!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Grrr... so it is a loco... you preferred the 45 as they sounded better... wouldn't be a 46 would it?

"Lower powered version" being the 44 presumably?

 

[Wim G.P.R]

Indeed its a 46.

46 010 just before she moved from Llangollen to GCR(N).

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Hasty edit:

Open floor.



( Red face again - I've just posted here a question for the non-photo "thinking of a class" thread! )

 

[ainsworth74]

Class 139?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

D'oh - my edit wasn't quick enough!

Yes, you're right... but we had better get the thread back on the correct route!

 

[ainsworth74]

Oh balls, I've fallen into the same trap and got my threads mixed up

 

[Peter Mugridge]

We have too many similar quiz threads running!:roll:

 

[Class172]

Anyone going to post a picture??
