I'm thinking of a train class..

[hmp455]

Class 170?

 

[Nym]

*bangs his head into the desk*

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=IGBT&l=1

IGBT: Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor!!

EDIT: No, it isn't a Class 170...

 

[Class172]

Class 350?

 

[Nym]

Not a 350, you're on the correct lines though, they can frequently be seen working with 350s, but not with the same TOC.

 

[150222]

Eh! How?

 

[Class172]

Class 321??

 

[150222]

Class 390?

 

[Nym]

Class 390 is correct, primary services to the NW and W mids from Euston, and use IBGT motor drives....

 

[Temple Meads]

Are you going to take the floor 150222?

 

[150222]

Open Floor!

 

[Temple Meads]

OK then:

1) We are held in reasonably high regard.
2) We recently received a new lease of life.
3) We are also pretty unique, not having any real relatives.

 

[Nym]

Wild stab

Class 43 Locomotive:

1) People worship them!
2) Re-engineering with new power units within the last 10 years
3) There are no other 125 locomotives other than the 67...

 

[Ivo]

Class 442? Depends on your definition of "held in reasonably high regard" I guess.

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 442? Depends on your definition of "held in reasonably high regard" I guess.

It is most certainly Class 442.

 

[Ivo]

Okily-dokily; I haven't done one of these for a while so here we go:

One of the more common units in this country, but a rare sight if you do not live in a certain (admittedly fairly large) area, there are two different specifications of this unit, not including any XXX/X variants that differ from each other. I has one specific kind of power supply, unlike one model that is fairly similar to it. This class has a unique livery in spite of not being the only class used by its TOC.

Shouldn't be too hard.

 

[Temple Meads]

It does sound a bit like Class 442

But my real guess is Class 380?

 

[Ivo]

380s aren't really that numerous. What I'm thinking of is.

Certainly not a bad guess though.

 

[Nym]

Class 444?

 

[gnolife]

Class 450?

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 379?

 

[150222]

Class 321?

 

[Ivo]

gnolife has it. 450 is correct. As well as sub-classes you also get "H" designated high capacity units.

 

[hmp455]

I might as well dig this quiz from the dead:

We have operated for all of the pre-privatization (i.e. early 1990s) sub sectors
We are the virtually the same as a class which is much more in quantity.

Should be quite easy.

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 121?

Probably not though (thanks for reviving this quiz by the way )

 

[hmp455]

Class 121?

You're welcome

Not a 121 though, we (quite a bit) are newer.

 

[sprite]

Class 09? Pretty much identical to class 08.

 

[hmp455]

Class 09? Pretty much identical to class 08.

No, I'll give a clue which will make it easier:

We are a class of EMU

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 319?

 

[Schnellzug]

By all the pre-privatisation sub-sectors do you mean Interity, Regional Railways and NSE, or do you mean the various divisions of NSE?

 

[Class172]

Class 312?
