Guess the Train...

[GusB]

That looks like a 345 to me

Damn - you beat me to it.

I did want to say, though - that's a cracking shot, Peter.

 

[Cowley]

Thank you.

You will all be pleased to hear that I haven't got any of my fiendish swine cropping images prepared, so I'll do a very easy one... this one will last about 5 minutes at the most.

I believe it was a 543 if it was going backwards capitain?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

That's because it is a 345. It's at Stratford, in case anyone is wondering - and believe it or not it's a "grab shot". Got off it, looked forwards, saw the lighting conditions just as it started moving... fortunately my camera was already round my neck... quickly switch it on, aim, click, hope....

And... *tuts* ... you took 7 minutes, not 5...

 

[GusB]

Does that qualify for delay-repay?

 

[DanNCL]

Sorry for the delay in posting; here is the next one. This one should be quite easy

 

[Cowley]

Is it a 57?

 

[DanNCL]

Is it a 57?

Yep, over to you

 

[Cowley]

Thanks.
Here you go then...

 

[DanNCL]

Class 159?

 

[Iskra]

Class 153

 

[Cowley]

Class 153

Ha. Very good. I took this today.


Sorry Dan. Over to you Iskra.

 

[Iskra]

Thank you. I'm sure someone will make quick work of this one, sorry for the small size.

 

[GusB]

Would that be a class 333?

 

[Cowley]

Gus is probably right but I’ll have a side bet on a 332?

 

[Iskra]

It is a class 333, well done Gus ...and Cowley considering it's the same type of light cluster.

 

[GusB]

It was 50/50 332/333, but I thought your location of "Sheffield" made the latter more likely, Iskra.

Nothing to guess?

Is this picture not showing? Let me retry.

[A Challenge]

There's still nothing

 

[Strat-tastic]

It's obviously a late train. Open floor if correct.

 

[Cowley]

It’s a rail replacement bus in the fog on the A96.
Again, open floor if correct

 

[GusB]

Is this any better? If there's still nothing showing, I'm giving up and declaring open floor. I can't see what I'm doing wrong with the previous posts. Grr.

 

[Cowley]

A 73 Gus? One of they there Scottish ones you’ve got up there?

 

[GusB]

Well that lasted long! Your floor

 

[Cowley]

It was the buffing plate that gave it away.
Here you go then. A bit further south than the last one...

Class 166?

 

[Cowley]

Class 166?

I had to check. Not a 166 (tick tock tick tock...)

 

[RJ21]

By that comment, is it a 165?

 

[Cowley]

By that comment, is it a 165?

Yes it is.

Over to you

 

[RJ21]

Here's the next one.
