[SEClass375]

Class 395?

 

[DanNCL]

Class 395?

Not a 395

Another clue: This unit is part of the Siemens Desiro family

 

[SEClass375]

Class 360?

 

[DanNCL]

Class 360?

You've got it!

It is 360201, unusually seen operating a Heathrow Express service earlier this month. Over to you!

A complete guess here! A 375?

 

[Esker-pades]

Class 150?

 

[SEClass375]

A complete guess here! A 375?

It is indeed, having Tonbridge as my home station kinda restricts me in terms of rolling stock.

 

[A Challenge]

375 and 377 (with a choice of operator though) isn't it at Tonbridge.

 

[DanNCL]

Apologies completely forgotten that I'd got the floor!

Open floor!

 

[Cowley]

I’ll give it a go then.
Shouldn’t be too hard. For a bonus point have a go at guessing the number...

 

[Iskra]

68005?

 

[Cowley]

68005?

Not a 68 Mr Iskra.

 

[RJ21]

43125?

 

[Cowley]

43125?

Not a 43 either RJ. Is 43125 named? I can’t work it out.

 

[185143]

50015 Valiant?

 

[Cowley]

50015 Valiant?

I like your thinking 185143, but I wouldn’t post Vali‘ant’ as it’s not mainline registered (and it’s got red nameplates anyway).
It’s not a 50 though. So that’s 43s, 50s and 68s out so far...

 

[Cowley]

68005?

Do you know Iskra, now that I think about it - you must’ve been convinced that you had it with that one? Right colour nameplate, ‘ant’ in the name too...

 

[RJ21]

It did at some point carry the name Merchant Venturer, I was thinking of anything which had a name containing 'ant' that didn't/doesn't have a red background.

 

[Iskra]

I did! ...Although it could also have been 68007 Valiant.

55002?

 

[Cowley]

55002?

It really is surprising how many locos have ‘ant’ in the title. Not 55002 though, and not a Deltic.

Only thought of it as I drove it at the ELR last week! Didn't think about the colour of the nameplates...

Wow. That must have been awesome?

 

[Cowley]

Better make it a bit bigger I guess...

 

[Iskra]

I'm still struggling! Been through my entire Platform 9 Book 2018!!!

Based on their numerical advantage I'll go Class 66?

That 37 named Cardiff Canton?

 

[Cowley]

That 37 named Cardiff Canton?

Blimey, I just spent the last five minutes trying to edit the name of it so that it said ‘if anton’. That’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Well done Superalbs, it is indeed 37254 (and you’ll probably recognise where it is).



Over to you...

 

[superalbs]

This one's next.

Class 43
Absolutely no basis for that one
