Red Pen 2016 - your new haulages

Tram 392 Dusseldorf @ Summerlee Industrial Museum

Only one away from clearing all of Scotland's fleet? Crikey that is an impressive feat!

 

[87electric]

Ta.
I have endured a few trips up there where I have scored nothing. It really is more difficult the less you need. By the time I get 708 in I bet the 385s start to arrive. And around I go again.

The new Hitachi things? Aye it gets rather challenging up there, especially once you get bored of Haymarket leaps but too skint to do a Freedom of Scotland!

Those Inverness 158s are absolute blighters to track down, as they could be almost anywhere in Scotland. I remember it took me 7 or 8 visits, spanning amost 2 years to track down my last Scotrail unit (158713). As well as the routes radiating out of Inverness, they can also appear on the Fife Circle and local services out of Glasgow Queen Street.

 

[alexf380]

Tell me about it! 8 of my last 9 SR 158s are based in Inverness. Two of them haven't even been sighted yet. The 170s, I find, are equally as difficult to track down.

 

[bb21]

Now, 158701, 158705, and 158709 I still need. Today one was indoors, one out in Kyle, and one on Far North Line duties. They can all bloody well wait.

Sensible thinking, they can come to you!

I haven't seen much of you on here lately bb21, which either means you've not been out on the rails, or more likely you've got an enormous list to post soon...

 

[bb21]

Unfortunately it's the former, but I did manage to cross a few off my list yesterday.

With my work laptop broken today, no TRUST access for me, but I now only have a list of 156s and 380s left mainly in ScotRail land (neither in areas covered by my Rover mostly), so back to scoring some long overdue tracks I think, one being Borders, another being Alloa.

Midland Metro:

And finally one that I've been wanting to put for ages. This has to be scoop of the day by a long shot and even though it isn't exactly a winner (at all), it is the best.

Ouch to no gen, at least you've still made some progress. Hope the track bashing goes well!

Well done there! At least you finally got down to just 2 more trams to go!

Not sure if it's mentioned already on these forums but 08924 is working at Barrow Hill tomorrow (Sat 27th) between 14:00 and 15:00.

I'll be there with my red pen! I missed it when it worked there previously in 2013, so it's a good clawback.

It's been a while since I posted on here. Recently score 08484 at Shildon, and then 59202 (one of my last two 59/2s) and 08652 on the 'Fifty Niner' last weekend.

Unit-wise, I had my last 165s (137) earlier this month and my final 156 (446) on Wednesday. The 387/1s got a good hammering earlier in the month too (down to one - 114), and had my first 387/2 (201). Also a load of 378s for 'extending'.

Clockwork Orange
108, 116, 204,

Just as an aside, I was informed (after my trip to Glasgow on Wednesday) that the 1xx powe cars on the Clockwork Orange do not power if they are the middle car in a 3-car rake. Wehther this makes a difference to you depends on what you count. For me, I'm going to have to go through all my notes and 'uncount' some... :-x

 

[bb21]

So you don't count the 2xx trailors I guess?

 

[theblackwatch]

I do, because they are operating as they should be, ie as a trailer in part of a unit! I wouldn't count them if they were being used as hauled stock behind a loco. Anyone who counts a powered vehicle while it is dead should be banned from the hobby and the forum for life, or longer.

Hmmmm, ive never kept a note of formations, i may be too far along to uncount.....

Metrolink:
3036

I've been trying to get this one for ages!!

All I now need of Metrolink is some of the higher number trams from 3097 onwards

 

[Techniquest]

So if a Subway train is formed of, for example, 102+114+103, 114 would be acting like one of the 20x trailers? So the question is, if that's not being counted because it's a trailer, then does anyone count the 20x trailers at all? I have to admit to counting whatever in the formation. Granted if I'd noted them all in November 2004 then I'd have probably got them all by now.

I think this debate would be better in a pub over an adult beverage or three...

Thanks! Agreed - I wonder when 17 and 37 will appear though...
