Is it one of the rail blue class 50s Mr Cowley?

Yes it is well done. I'm not sure which one it is, it may be 044, but there's at least one mainline registered one that looks exactly the same.
How's this for a juxtaposition?
Over to you Mr Bridge...

I'm not sure I would ever have got it if you hadn't expanded the picture, I didn't consider a 50 initially as I could only picture them with either white or black cab window surrounds I'd actually forgotten about them in their original livery :oops:

Thanks Mr C, now what do you think this could be?

Other than being reminiscent of a CalMac ferry it could be a litter bin inside a 142.

The person shown is a member of traincrew, not a trespasser for the record!

Well that didn't take long:D
The 150 is in fact at Gilfach Fargoed station, and the guard is stood on the platform

Couldn't work that out at first, but when you think about it if he was at ground level there's no way he would be visible, it appears to be a very remote location?

Try this one...

Class 423 4-VEP in blue and grey livery, possibly? Guard's door as the passenger doors didn't have curly handles but straight ones.





Open door if I'm correct.

Well I can't work this one out, is it a door from a test train?

No, definitely not a track machine, let me know if you need a bit of a hint or for me to slightly expand the image?

I'd like you to pm me secretly and tell me the answer so I can look really clever on here :D.
Is it a door from a mk1?

I don't need to PM you Mr Cowley because you are onto something here ;)

You are correct so far but can you tell me the exact type of vehicle?

Oh blimey. How about a maroon TSO? West Coast one? I've got another guess up my sleeve if it isn't...
