My first thought was a 390, but they only have 36 exterior doors.

Your first thought was correct!

If you count the 2 Coupler doors aswell that makes 38

Here's another one, just for laughs... 8)

I Have 152 Exterior Doors
I have 8 Pantographs
I Have 288 Wheels Altogether...

Any ideas?

 

[westcoaster]

a few class 370`s coupled up?

Yup...Didn't take much to guess, did it?

a few class 370`s coupled up?

Ahh, if Id've been thinking of the fabled and immortal 370, my question would've probabally been worded thus:

I Have 152 Exterior Doors
I have 8 Pantographs
I Have 288 Wheels Altogether
And I have a top operational speed of 14,475,500mph...

Here's another one for ye all:
Although there are a few who appreciate my better points, most railway people would rather I was scrapped ASAP.
I might have been better named as a Kangaroo Class...

The 142 by any chance?

The 142 by any chance?

I know, I know...T'was another easy one!

Incidentally, I'm not trying to gank or steal the game from annyone here so if ye want to post a description of thy own, then by all means do so! I'm just doing that myself here! 8)

Anyhow, let's up the ante a bit...
I have 76 wheels and more hot air than the entire Labour Party. Old-skool railway enthusiasts love me to bits!

Voyager?

 

[devon_metro]

221 Vomiter sounds reasonable yes.

 

[SuperVoyager]

221 Super VOYAGER!

 

[mumrar]

221 Super VOYAGER!

Although I didn't guess which you were describing, a 444 Desiro does fit the description given, so the clue did not differentiate between them, whilst I don't think it matters, the answer should be 221, 222 5-car, 444 and anything else I may have missed

My Father (ok this is getting a bit odd now ) was first sent out on 2/12/1960
i come in different speeds
my latter sub-class has a different engine

SOOOO EASY!

 

[devon_metro]

Must be a 37 then. 37/9 are Mirless, 37/4 are converted iirc.

correct, for getting that right tonight you get to eat

 

[SuperVoyager]

Lmao

 

[37401]

Lmao

and for posting the f word (on another thread) you have to travel on a HST (because i know how much you hate them )

 

[devon_metro]

Already eaten i'm afraid

 

[37401]

Already eaten i'm afraid

well you can eat tomorrow then

 

[generalvegitable]

how about this one:

I am made of plastic, I am 9 cars long, 4 of them are first class, my windows are so small nobody can see out, and I vibrate when I travel at over 20mph

(note: these are quite exaggerated, maybe I should go for this one instead)

I am new and fast, my windows are big, my top speed is 100mph, my aircon is nice and cool, I run in rakes of up to 12 car, my seats are reasonably comfortable and I am much better than anything else I share my route with.

 

[90019]

That would be a class 450.

 

[generalvegitable]

I'll give you that, I was thinking of the 350, but whats the difference? none really apart from the power source.

actually a 350 can be used on both 25kv AC and 3rd Rail

 

[generalvegitable]

I know that, up untill very recently 350s were only used on the 25KV overhead system

 

[90019]

And the 450s can be modified for 25kV OHLE

OK here's one:

I come in a 3 car set, and I have 50 sisters. I am very energy-efficient, because I can cruise on less engines at high speed. I am quite desirable, as the other trains run by my TOC arn't as nice as me! I am especially nice, because I was decorated for a special event.

What am I?
