I'm thinking of a train class..

[MK Tom]

I was actually worried it would be too easy!! Let's see what people come up with... I reckon someone will have it pretty quickly.

 

[Hydro]

DP1, Class 55 prototype?

 

[MK Tom]

Close...

 

[Schnellzug]

DP2, if you count the Class 50s as many.

 

[MK Tom]

Yup! I am but one - DP2 was the only one of its type. Father of many - the 50 class 50s. Nearly the father of many more - the aborted class 51s. Look like something I don't - splitting image of a deltic. Over to you!

 

[Schnellzug]

i'll try & think of a few cunning & deceitful ones. Until then, if anyone else wants to offer one, please, feel free.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

There is only one of me built in the midlands

 

[Nym]

I'm a small class based on a much larger class, have never carried passengers but have operated under 4 different companies.

Class 89

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Nope. It's not class 89

 

[Nym]

HS4000 Kestel?

 

[Tomonthetrain]

It's not HS4000 Kestel

CLUE: I got replaced in passenger service by a larger version of me

 

[Nym]

You know that clue covers about 30 locomotives alone, let alone Multiple Units...

 

[Tomonthetrain]

FURTHER CLUE- The larger version of me is cleared for only 1 line. I was used as a trial on Sundays on this line

 

[Schnellzug]

999 900, otherwise known as the Parry People Manouverer.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Yes it's Class 999

 

[Nym]

What about 999 900 the PPM Prototype

Still got my too late one open if anyone wants to guess btw...

 

[Schnellzug]

I'm getting too quick at these. Again, while I think of a few, la - whatever the French is for floor- est ouvert.

 

[Nym]

Hopfully quick enough...

I'm a small class based on a much larger class, have never carried passengers but have operated under 4 different companies.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

The Daddy Shed - Class 59?

 

[Nym]

Nope, the smaller class is based on the larger... Another clue for you, I use the front ends from a completely different class to what I'm based on...

 

[Hydro]

Class 325, basically a Networker cabbed stripped out 319

 

[Nym]

i know, was easy, hydro be correct

 

[Hydro]

Open floor, I prefer the guessing to the questioning!

 

[Nym]

I'm the only diesel type in a large(ish) series of AC and DC units...

 

[ainsworth74]

Class 185?

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 168?

 

[Nym]

Class 185?

Correct

 

[ainsworth74]

Open floor...

 

[MK Tom]

I couldn't run on most of the network, I was among the first to have a now-common feature and I never carried TOPS set numbers.

 

[gg1]

Class 80 / E2001?

The first UK 25kv AC loco and I think one of the first locos to be ETH fitted.
