A class 185?

yuh-huh... but which 185? that's where the decorated bit helps...

 

[Jordy]

185108!

 

[simonalexander05]

congrats well done

 

[Lonewolf]

ok i got a good one
i was in the Uk for a short time but got a huge fanbase
No-one wanted me to go home but i had to.

I came in 4 and 6 car variations.

 

[dave12435]

regional eurostars??

 

[djw1981]

They were IIRC longer - wiki suggests 14car.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
would it be too much of a clue to say what decade they left us?

 

[Lonewolf]

nope not regional eurostars
and yes it would becuase they came and went in the same decade

i'll give out a couple of extra clues

when it was first in service it had a problem with its doors
but a comeback under a different company hasnt been ruled out

 

[Lonewolf]

ok looks like this one has died down a bit
the answer was the class 180 adelante

 

[90019]

I don't get it :?

180s are 5 car, and when did they ever leave?

^ - And given how inferior they are to HSTs, how did the Adelanté get any fan-base at all? hock:

Here's another one...

• I have 18 exterior doors (14 for passenger use),
• I have eight wheels,
• I hail from the days of British Rail, but can still be found in service to this day! 8)

Any ideas?

HST im guessing the 2 non-passenger doors are the Guard one and the buffet car one

 

[Broken Viking]

An HST with only eight wheels? How on Earth would that work? hock:
(In English: Nope, you're well off with that guess, I'm afraid! )

 

[Oswyntail]

Can't count the doors, but at a guess a 121 Bubble Car

 

[37401]

have not got a clue

 

[Broken Viking]

Can't count the doors, but at a guess a 121 Bubble Car

...Is correct! 8)
To be honest, I couldn't find photos of both sides of the same unit whilst counting up the doors either...So just had to make do with one unit and double it insted!
