Sorry this is a bit small. I wonder how long this will last? Shouldn't be too difficult?

Neither of those I'm afraid.


I have to admit I cropped it the way I did in the hope that someone would suggest Sleeper, but it really is daytime stock - honest.

No; the earlier guesses were warmer.



Blimey - we finally have a "guess the train" entry that's actually lasting a reasonable length of time and it's mine...!! :D

Well I can't work it out. I think it's a mk3 and I think it's probably one from a 125 set, I just can't work out what sort of coach has that window arrangement apart from a TGS, although it looks familiar saying that.

Earlier I was thinking loco hauled mk3 BFO as in GWR NR Sleeper but the windows just don't seem right.

I haven't a clue but I'm guessing that Mr Mugridge has cleverly cropped the photo to give the impression that both windows are the same size? :)

Right. After much deliberation I've come to the conclusion that it's a mk3 TSD? That's possibly the area where the extra sized toilet is fitted?

You got it; it is 42218 to be exact. You were so close earlier without realising it weren't you?

That was a good one. It looked really familiar but I just couldn't quite work it out. I'm glad I got it though after Mr Bridge sneaked a 159 at St David's photo in and I completely failed to notice.
Here's this then :D

Not a 43 or a 57. If I showed even a tiny bit more you'd get it instantly. It is a locomotive of the 1960s variety.

I've slightly expanded the picture. Don't think this'll take long now.
