I'm thinking of a train class..

[Ivo]

All are four coaches, and all are painted in the bland white that NX think is the best livery in the land (357010 in green was so much better but even it lost out, and I never got a picture of it in green :cry.

They were my local unit for virtually the whole of the "Noughties" remember

-------------------

Actually, no. I take your point. The 360 aside, all answers are probably correct so far, so it's a bit of a dud.

 

[Class172]

Yes, but surely more than one unit fits the description?

 

[Hydro]

i'll take thy floor.

We have more than 2 carriages.
We are all painted in the same livery.

But what are we?

450, 444, 357, 376, 378....

 

[150222]

Class 185?

 

[Temple Meads]

450, 444, 357, 376, 378....

It is Class 357, your floor, but please in future no multiple guesses, one at a time please...

Well duh, it's a process of elimination, I'd have given generous clues had it gone on.

 

[Hydro]

Open floor, I have a tendency to forget threads like these....

 

[ole man]

And cheat like above, anybody can do that, it takes the fun out of guessing!!.
Next time anybody who do's that should give a open floor as punishment

 

[Ivo]

Hey, I said 357 first! My floor!

We are among the oldest classes still in regular use. One of the classes that works with us is older still, but subject to withdrawal, and has a claim to fame as the [something]est train in the UK. We have a very distinctive livery and are a rare sight in most of the country - in fact, most of the country has never seen me...

Consider me "punished" then....

 

[ole man]

Nah to easy, your next time

 

[Ivo]

Er... Hello? Are you guys going to just waffle or actually answer the new one? Do I not get the floor, having said 357 some time (14 minutes?) before Hydro (which only Class172 seemed to notice)?

Yes, floor yours, I can't apologise enough for missing your answer mate, I just skipped to the last page when looking

 

[Ivo]

Thank you (Sorry Hydro!)

[Temple Meads]

Not Class 483 is it?

 

[Ivo]

It's not THAT old!

 

[Temple Meads]

Ooops, dodgy post, no class mentioned
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Interesting one his, to keep it moving I'll punt at Class 37?

 

[gg1]

class 121?

 

[Ivo]

Neither of those.

 

[ainsworth74]

Class 507?

 

[Ivo]

Not a 507. Once again, it looks like I've given you all a toughie - and once again, you need to think outside the box a little.

 

[ainsworth74]

Class 483?

 

[Schnellzug]

is the missing word "smelliest"?

 

[Class172]

Class 315?

 

[Ivo]

No it is not (to all classes and Schnellzug's "question").

Sorry it's been so long; some imbecile set the fire alarm off And not just once either!

 

[Class172]

Class 143?

[Bouncy]

 

[Ivo]

Very bouncy!

...but not even close, if I'm honest.

 

[Class172]

Class 57?

Open floor if correct.

 

[Ivo]

It isn't. And it isn't any other loco either. Sorry!

Another clue: Bzzt.

 

[Class172]

Electric MU...

Not 315/483/508

I'll have a guess at Class 318?

Open floor if correct.

 

[Ivo]

Is anyone else even playing at present?

Still not correct, and not by some margin.
