Guess The UK Train Class

[Ivo]

150s never were my favourite kind of unit.

Promise me it isn't a 323! I'm sure it isn't, but you never know...

 

[ralphchadkirk]

ok, here goes:

a 318?

 

[4SRKT]

Not a 323 or a 318.

 

[CarterUSM]

A 314.

 

[4SRKT]

I knew it couldn't last when I saw CarterUSM had made the next post.......

 

[Ivo]

What's so obvious about a 314 as opposed to a 313 or a 315? The colour scheme?

Livery - the cream and the hint of maroon probably gave it away, along with the fact that CUSM works these I think!

I was too late with your guess the station entry though! Open floor. Yes Ivo, colour scheme I would think.

Only worked on them as a TE years ago Ralph, they're DOO units nowadays. Fast off the mark too, you really feel them accelerate.

You can tell I don't venture into the barren landscape know as the "North" often!

 

[4SRKT]

If nobody minds, I'll post another.

Class 139 - Parry People Mover

 

[CarterUSM]

Class 380?

 

[4SRKT]

Not a 139 nor a 380.

 

[CarterUSM]

Class 221?

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Well, it's a dellner coupler and modern buffers so it can't be that old.

 

[4SRKT]

Not a 221. Or a 220 before anyone tries that.

 

[Ivo]

Not a 143 by chance?

 

[CarterUSM]

How about a 171?

 

[4SRKT]

Not a 143 by chance?

Come on Ivo, it's a Dellner!

Not a 171 either. I'm not sure I've ever seen on of those, or even know what it is.

 

[CarterUSM]

Is it perhaps a 57/3?

 

[Ivo]

I don't know all the different coupling systems

A 171 is a Southern Turbostar. They run to Uckfield and on the Marshlink, and come in 2- and 4-, and possibly 3-, car variants.

357? :roll:

 

[4SRKT]

It's not a 57/3.

Clue time, since I need to go and have a bath. It's an EMU.

 

[Ivo]

Oi! I just suggested an EMU!

 

[90019]

Only 2 and 4 car

They differ from other Turbos because of the Dellners rather than BSIs.

It's a 333, I think.

 

[CarterUSM]

Class 450?

 

[Ivo]

Shows what I know about 171s I've only ever used the 2-car variants to and from Rye, travelling from/to each of Ashford (twice), Eastbourne and Brighton.

 

[4SRKT]

Oi! I just suggested an EMU!

The power of editing! I don't know what a 357 is either, so no.

Class 450?

Not a 450, of either SWT or NIR variety.

 

[Ivo]

357s are the boring things that run to Southend on the LTS route. There are 74 of them.

Let's try 377s.

 

[4SRKT]

90019 has it with 333.

 

[CarterUSM]

Is it a 333 then? 90019 suggested that it is above?

Away for your bath then 4SRKT!
