Guess The UK Train Class

[Turbostar]

421 or 423 then

 

[Matt Taylor]

On the right lines, the design is very similar.

 

[Track Basher]

Looks like a 207 to me.

 

[Matt Taylor]

TB storms in with the right answer, I knew I couldn't fool an old hand like you!

Picture was a Salisbury-Southampton service on Feb 11th 1989.

Nice pic, and welcome .

Is the thing we're guessing on the right or the left? (If it's on the right, we don't have a lot to go on )

My first post so hi everyone

Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, this doesn't count as your first post as posts in the Quiz Forum no longer go towards your total.

 

[gg1]

The one on the left, I would be seriously impressed if anyone got the one on the right

Not my pic by the way, will post the link to the site I acquired it from when someone ID's it correctly.

 

[OxtedL]

I have no clue, but as I no longer have to feel guilty about posting here, I will have a random stab at class 20.

If you are going to be hanging around here on the quiz forum, you will probably find it useful to have enough posts under your belt to be considered a "member". This, amongst other things, allows you to Personal Message other people on the forum. The "General Discussion" forum contains and "Introductions" thread, for example. I'm sure with collaboration, we could organise something...

Got a headache this morning, TB?

I genuinely would not have the foggiest on this pic, but to give some momentum I will say class 15.

 

[Track Basher]

Big round buffers let's go Class 47

 

[Matt Taylor]

Class 57?

 

[gg1]

Big round buffers let's go Class 47

Correct answer for the one on the right, well done.

Still looking for the one on the left though, not a 57 either.

Not a class 16.

DOH, or a 15 even.

Head is fine this morning after a fine sleep last night in the B&B.

Clocking up the HST milage Inverness - Kings Cross.

The other one looks like some type of track machine.

 

[OxtedL]

Is it a loco? I'm happy to see that TB got the difficult one ...

 

[gg1]

Nope. Will post another clue in an hour or so if no-one gets it.

As alluded to in the last post it is an EMU/DMU.

The last time one of these ran under it's own power was in the 1980s.

 

[Track Basher]

It is not something like test car Iris?

 

[Turbostar]

Ok, is this 'unit' or 'test car' still used today?

 

[gg1]

Ok, is this 'unit' or 'test car' still used today?

No.

Another clue, one of these once held a UK record for something.

 

[Turbostar]

Is it something to do with testing the bogies or electrics for the Eurostars, before they were constructed?

 

[Class172]

Class 370?

 

[gg1]

Class 370?

Correct!

[OxtedL]

Nice! I'm amazed that took less than a week to solve...

 

[Class172]

Open floor
