Guess the Train...

[Ash Bridge]

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

Northern 156?

Neither of those two I'm afraid chaps, think of something much more serious in terms of heavy, powerful chunky etc. As RJ21 noted the location is Stockport in platform 3A bay, the occasion was the annual Virgin Trains sponsored Stockport Station Open Day a few years back and this was one of the exhibits.

 

[Dhassell]

Class 92?

 

[Dhassell]

Actually i'm going to go with Class 60

 

[Ash Bridge]

Class 92?

Spot on with your second choice, well done!

 

[Dhassell]

Deleted!

 

[Dhassell]

Whoops was waiting for a response all day from Ash Bridge, clearly I missed him tell me I got it right!

 

[Cowley]

Class 73 maybe?

 

[Dhassell]

Class 73 maybe?

Damn Damn and Damn, made that too easy!
Correct Mr Cowley

 

[Cowley]

I like this game.
This probably won't take long either.

 

[Dhassell]

Is it the Rail Grinder?

 

[Ash Bridge]

I think it's mounted on the cab roof of a Network Rail 31?

Now I think of it, 31285 was stuck in Exeter for ages, Cowleys area :roll:

 

[Cowley]

It is. Well done!
There's that van again too.

That's the one Dhass. Mr Bs go

You should have realised, these Devon folk don't get out much, Exeter St Davids is just about his limit, and don't even mention Exeter Central because that would be considered as abroad

 

[Ash Bridge]

Hey, is that Mrs Cowley waving to us? she looks proper fed up too

Here's another one chaps...

 

[Dhassell]

Class 08?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Class 08?

That's the one Mr D, 08907 at Carne Point, Cornwall photographed from a boat on the River Fowey.

Great photo, you're right that was Mrs Cowley, she prefers 20s and 37s which was why she had a bit of a face on

 

[Crossover]

Is the 31 at Truro? The siding seems familiar

 

[Ash Bridge]

No, that's definitely Exeter, that tall building in the distance to the left of the loco is the giveaway, it's also visible in this shot of mine.

 

[Cowley]

That's right Mr Bridge, that's Exeter college. Is it Dhassells go?

 

[Ash Bridge]

That's right Mr Bridge, that's Exeter college. Is it Dhassells go?

I think so, just noticed he's now online so maybe he's rustling up some fiendish new shot to test us all with

 

[Dhassell]

Sorry for the delay, been awfully busy.

 

[RJ21]

Class 508?

 

[Dhassell]

Class 508?

Wrong

 

[Cowley]

A 153?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Can I try a 313?

 

[J-2739]

Fun little game!

314??

 

[Cowley]

I wish I'd said either of the above now.

 

[J-2739]

Ha!

Definately looks like a PEP unit with the sad window.
