yeah kinda gives the whole thing away

 

[devon_metro]

Looks like 91112 to me.

 

[theblackwatch]

I think you could be right there.

 

[37401]

all those who said 91 are wrong its the new VT Mk3 DVT, The name is not always what it is you know 90019 wins

this is it

Hang on...Have Virgin actually bought themselves a 91 set? hock:

I'd previously heard that they'd got a 91 in for some runs EUS - BHM/MAN, but I thought that was a temporary loan from NXEC to sub for burst Pendos? :?

Actually...If no one minds me having a hack, I'm going to post a rather fiendish one of my own and see if we have anyone on the forum who can solve the puzzle! It may look like it's just an all-black image that I've posted, but trust me...There's much more to this one than meets the eye!

Farewell, have phun, and never let the bar-stewards steal thy BlueBox!

It's the Mk3 DVT from the Mk3 set that was recently repainted.
They've got a 90, not a 91.

 

[MCR247]

Is that an E*

 

[90019]

It's a 373.

 

[generalvegitable]

how is it a 373? its obviously a eurostar

 

[37401]

373 IS a eurostar

 

[Death]

Hmmm...We obviously have a lot of GIF hackers knocking about the forum then!

The train in question is a Class 373 (The TOPS class given to Eurostars) and I'll give that one to 90019 as he was the first to state which class it was.

Now for a couple of bonus points: Can anyone tell me what's rather unusual about this particular Eurostar, what the 4-digit unit number is, and which line this photo was taken on?

 

[90019]

It's either 3302, 3303 or 3304, it's in GNER livery for the White Rose services, and because of that, I'd guess it's on the ECML.

 

[Death]

Blowing up the image with bitmap expander, I see 3302 as the unit number, so ye are correct on all counts! 8)
(If I may ask: Did ye find the note that I'd left embedded in the image and re-engineer it using a program, or were ye simply highlighting it in FireFox and looking at it from an angle? )

Edit: For anyone who's curious, the original image is attached below.

My screen has very slightly faded colours, meaning I can see what the image is, and I could see what looked like GNER branding on the side, just above the front bogey. Had to check which were the 3 that were reliveried though.

Ahh...When I posted the image yesterday, I found that if I highlighted it in FireFox I could see a very faint monochrome representation of the image. So much for hiding it properly!

Ah well...My next one will be a lot more fiendish, I can guarentee that!

 

[90019]

Here's the next one.
Class and TOC

 

[MCR247]

A hst

 

[37401]

Grand central Class 43 HST

 

[generalvegitable]

373 IS a eurostar

I thought it was the APT

 

[MCR247]

Thats a 370

 

[Death]

I thought it was the APT

Thats a 370

Trust me...If they were using 370s on Eurostar workings, then London to Paris would be a lot quicker than the 2:25 average journey time suggested by the Eurostar timetable...

...That, and I'd be posting on this forum as a much appreciated - Yet oft reprimanded - Eurostar employee!

--- Old post above / New post below: ---

Incidentally...I know that others have said that 90019s image is of an HST, but I'm going to hack a guess that it might actually be a G(o)NER Class 91.

 

[generalvegitable]

the pic is either a GC HST or the 89 in the GNER livery

Trust me...If they were using 370s on Eurostar workings, then London to Paris would be a lot quicker than the 2:25 average journey time suggested by the Eurostar timetable...

I meant that the APT was the 373 and the eurostar was the 370
