Guess The UK Train Class

[4SRKT]

Not a 418 either.

 

[ainsworth74]

A 421 or 4Vep perchance?

 

[Mvann]

Looks like one of the bed pan units. Not sure what class they were.

 

[4SRKT]

It's not a 421 (weren't suburban), 423 or a BedPan 127.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Certainly looks like a BR Blue DMU, Class 116?

 

[Track Basher]

I recon that is a 115.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

a 201

 

[4SRKT]

It is a 116. Must have been one of the last of that class still in all over blue by the time I took that which I think was 1986 (didn't always make proper notes in my disorganised youth )

 

[4SRKT]

Come on Matt, what's keeping you? Post yr shed!

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Well this has been rather quiet recently! C'mon guys, we want to overtake GTS!

 

[OxtedL]

Being the Voice of Doom's stand-in (while she's on maternity leave) I think I shall have to point out that this thread is unlikely to be as successful as GTS in the foreseeable future as:

• There are fewer classes of train than there are stations
• The picture have to be tiny to stop them from being obvious, discouraging people from guessing (and looking at GTS you can see that many people don't bother guessing there!)
• It is easier to get an exciting angle of a station than of a train.

Feel free to add your own reasons!

Having said that, try this...

What? What do you mean by this?

I have no idea. I'm guessing it's a roof though. Let's try an HST (sorry guys!), open floor if by some miracle it is correct. Starting tomorrow, I shan't be saying open floor though!

 

[OxtedL]

It isn't an HST.

Don't read too much into my humour Ivo! Maternity leave was just the easiest way of describing it. If you were to look more closely it would probably be a hybrid maternity/paternity leave type affair. Best just to drop it!

 

[sprinterguy]

Class 170?

 

[OxtedL]

Not 170.

 

[ainsworth74]

Class 158?

 

[northernrail]

Class 153?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Class 458?

Open floor if correct.

 

[OxtedL]

Wow. I'm not sure if this bodes well or bodes ill for this thread, because all of those are wrong...

Some have been fairly close, and clearly a roof is not the least ambiguous thing I could have chosen.

 

[Class172]

Class 377?

 

[OxtedL]

Yup.

Obviously I wouldn't go for something more exotic...

 

[HST Power]

Yup.

File does not exist.

 

[OxtedL]

Interesting... The threw it! Try again.

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Interesting... The threw it! Try again.

Says no article by that name exists...

 

[OxtedL]

I sorted it about 20 seconds before you posted.

Anyone putting a new one up?

 

[HST Power]

I'd like to, but I'm too busy with my fiendishly tricky Guess The Station photo!

Next time!

 

[Class172]

Open floor

 

[northernrail]

.....

 

[Class172]

Class 333? Dont have a clue!

 

[northernrail]

not a 333
