001 faffing about at Crewe this afternoon

First time I've had a good look at one up close and it's a fine looking locomotive. The central footstep also gives it face :D

Obviously not close up enough then, although still close enough to be the envy of all the desperate spotters who haven't seen one.....

I think what you’re referring to is the camera window for when it’s equipped with an auto-coupler.

Is there a plan to fit knuckles or Dellner's, or are they just tucked out of the way in the photos up thread? Or is it more an 'if' capability?

Not sure what the plans are, but others on here will know that I'm sure, but there's certainly none on it now.......here's a closer up pic of the front

Isn't that something to do with Nazis?? I'm not sure what you mean if that's the case, but we mean the trapezoidal centrally placed 'thing' on the front that gives the loco's face a nose

Oh I see......that never registered with me at all......
I doubt 'Adolfs' is going to work as a nickname for them.
Do they have a silly spotter name yet, incidentally....I'm proud to say I have absolutely no idea if they have or not

In a short q&a with a driver he said that they’d removed the auto-couplers but I don’t know where or when. In view of the Swiss heritage, I expect that Stadler/ROG have been thinking ahead.

Yes, exactly. If it had been a rectangular shape, I could perhaps see it as a certain gentleman's moustache. To me it's a nose.

So.....a Manilow, perhaps? :smile:

Edit: a quick Google of 'celebrities with prominent noses' comes up with some promising options!

For those that are interested in the operation of Stadler’s autocoupler system. Bob Tiller’s video compilation of his Class 99s [undergoing testing at Velim] shows 001 coupling to 002. See timestamp 01:54


(I realise I have posted in the Class 93 thread instead of Class 99, but as they are both variants of the Stadler ’EuroDual’ platform, I figured the video compilation would make for relevant viewing)

Just one of the original 10 left to arrive into the UK then. Time for ROG to find some work for them :D
