Guess the Train...

[Cowley]

It's looking good.
Here's a picture, can anyone guess what it is?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Is it a HST power car?

 

[Cowley]

Very good, here's the original. Your turn Mr B.

Very good, here's the original. Your turn Mr B.

I saw one HST power car with the original IC liveries on on the 20th January. Why are these back, is there a reason for this?

 

[Ash Bridge]

What a beauty! (The Power Car, not you)

Something a little different this time, a train interior if that's permitted?

(Got to nip out now, back in a couple of hours or so)

SWT Class 444?

 

[RJ21]

Looks like a TPE 350.

 

[Ash Bridge]

SWT Class 444?

Looks like a TPE 350.

A Challenge is spot on, RJ21 commiserations, at least you were correct regarding the fact its a Desiro type unit.

 

[A Challenge]

I've ridden on Class 444s too much obviously then! They are the SWT units with the doors at the end (and these a 'compartment doors' even us 'lowlings' in standard get), which can be seen in the fact the grey doors are right behind it. They are obviously SWT as I could tell easily, being my most frequent travel TOC, as the First class seat design (even though I haven't travelled 1st) is distinctive, and very different, as I see when walking through to find a seat! Open floor anyway, as I haven't been on a train (or even near the railway) since the 20th January and my last journey, before this thread was created and I could think to take a class photo.

 

[Dhassell]

Here you go then!

 

[Crossover]

Class 158

 

[Dhassell]

Class 158

Made that too easy didn't I

 

[Crossover]

They're a bit of a mainstay of my local line when we are lucky and don't get a Pacer - will dig out a photo shortly

 

[Crossover]

Give this one a go (as an aside, I've just been looking back on the previous quiz and can't believe it's over 5 years since it was ended!)

 

[RJ21]

Lm 350?

 

[Crossover]

Lm 350?

No it isn't

 

[fishquinn]

Class 185?

 

[A Challenge]

SWT Class 458?

 

[Crossover]

Class 185?

Correct. 185143 was being a bit odd :P

 

[fishquinn]

I doubt this one will be too hard.

 

[Ash Bridge]

WCRC class 37?

 

[Dhassell]

I doubt this one will be too hard.

Class 33 WCR

 

[fishquinn]

They're the only ones I thought that it could be, which is why I thought it'd be easy, but Ash Bridge got it - it's a 37, with the full photo here.

 

[Ash Bridge]

They make a fine sight at Leamington, nice shot!

Try this cab interior ...

(Drivers are not allowed!)

 

[Cowley]

I'm not a driver!
Would that be something modern like a class 70?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Well to me it is still modern, but as you know Iam a bit of an old *** so that doesn't really help does it?

And no, not a class 70.

 

[Cowley]

I know what you mean. Right, well 66s still seem modern to me so I'll go for one of those?

 

[Ash Bridge]

I know what you mean. Right, well 66s still seem modern to me so I'll go for one of those?

Nay a 66.

 

[RJ21]

Well, it's at Stockport, bay platform, old style switches so, 142?

 

[Strathclyder]

Northern 156?
