I'm thinking of a train class..

[Ivo]

185, with the rule relating to its mass?

 

[Nym]

Indeed, and it has only ever had two liveries, although technically it's the rule relating to axle weight... not mass, but since the're directly related you can have that.

Clarification: The awnser IS 185...

 

[Ivo]

Didn't expect that!

Going back out again in a few, so a quick one and I'll check back later as with the Station version:

No longer in revenue operation, this was known for being the last of its family to run in revenue service, although others have run in non-revenue service and even been constructed since its withdrawal. From its name alone one might think that it was completely unrelated to railways, and more related to media...

 

[Temple Meads]

Doubt it is, but Class 421?

 

[Ivo]

There's a trick in this question. The crucial part is the statement about the media.

Not the 421.

 

[Class172]

Class 994?

 

[Lrd]

No longer in revenue operation, this was known for being the last of its family to run in revenue service, although others have run in non-revenue service and even been constructed since its withdrawal.

I'm thinking "Tornado" as in the Steam loco.

Obviously no longer in revenue operation. One has been constructed recently, as shown on Top Gear. Related to the media in news reports of "Hurricanes/Tornado's", same reason as to how it could be unrelated to the railways.

 

[Nym]

So I'm going to steal and day 60163 Peppercorn A1 Locmotive.

 

[Lrd]

So I'm going to steal and day 60163 Peppercorn A1 Locmotive.

I couldn't be bothered to find the name, but surely "Tornado" is what he'll be looking for if it is right...

 

[Nym]

You can have it if it is 60163 or any other A1...

 

[Ivo]

The A1, including Tornado, is not correct, but could not have been much closer.

I want a specific answer for this one, so if the answer was "Mallard" (it isn't) I would want "Mallard" and not "A4" or similar.

 

[Temple Meads]

92220 Evening Star?

 

[Ivo]

Correct.

 

[Temple Meads]

1) We had a long period (over 40 years) of operation.
2) We were very much consigned to one part of the network.
3) 1 unit has reached preservation.

 

[northernrail]

Class 303?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not 303

 

[Class172]

Class 312?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not 312 either.

 

[gg1]

class 306

 

[Temple Meads]

Not a 306, in fact, it isn't a 3xx of any description..

 

[Class172]

Class 416?

 

[gg1]

A 4sub?

 

[Temple Meads]

Neither.

Not a 4xx either.

 

[Schnellzug]

504, the Manchester-Bury units?

 

[Temple Meads]

504, the Manchester-Bury units?

Incorrect, it is however the closest guess so far..

 

[gg1]

Class 502?

Despite being in a pretty sorry state, the last survivor is technically 'preserved'.

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 502?

Despite being in a pretty sorry state, the last survivor is technically 'preserved'.

That would be correct.

 

[gg1]

Open floor

 

[Nym]

I featured in a film shown in a cinema in heavy disguise, staring a Brit in Russia...

(This should be easy!)

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 20!
