Guess the train!

[evil_hippo]

I'll keep it for the next 2 rounds then review it (and probably get rid of it at that point, admittedly). You still have one more chance, as does jonb.

No correct answers by the way, keep guessing.

Another rule which I would have thought went unsaid is that generic types like "sprinter" are not allowed.

Steady on mate, it isn't really your place to propose rules. I think we'll just forget about the last one and let things be.

It is my game

 

[jonb]

Its hardly a competition if we can only guess twice! Sort it out

I have now, see the first post. I will allow you and tubechallenger to take a second guess now if youn wish.

 

[jonb]

A 315?

 

[evil_hippo]

nope. I am enjoying this one! The next two are difficult too!

Looking at the current guesses, all you are doing is rsearching your memories for trains that have low-backed seats. I would not set something dependant on such guesswork; you have to notice some more subtle things. I'm not giving you any sneaky hints above that, I'm afraid!

 

[Guinness]

156?

 

[Simming]

Class 323?

 

[evil_hippo]

Still wrong.

This could go on a long time...

You've got an uninterupted day of guessing tomorrow as I'm off to Newcastle (and its wonderful metro system, which I advise you to, dropping everything, go off and ride on).

By the way, you are now again allowed as many guesses as you like, however 3 guesses must seperate two posts of the same person.

 

[Gareth Hale]

I think this may be a 303?

 

[bunnahabhain]

313

 

[AlexS]

Gareth is, I believe, correct. It is either a Class 303, or its slightly newer derivative, the 311. Which, im not sure, not being intimated acquainted with the units, but it is definative a first generation Strathclyde EMU. Well Done, Gareth.

 

[joy54.gen]

It could be one of the newer 2+2 seated 303s yes.

 

[AlexS]

It is definately one, I know my units

 

[evil_hippo]

Nope, Gareth is actaully wrong.



Only joking! It is indeed a class 303! He is awarded one point.

 

[evil_hippo]

Moving swiftly on, we come to our next picture.

 

[Met Driver]

Hoover

 

[evil_hippo]

No, though I do wonder if anyone has considered using hoovers for leaf-busting duties in autumn. They'd have to dump all the leaves in a massive kitchen bin though.

 

[86242]

DRS 87

 

[evil_hippo]

Wrong. *tooth glints*

 

[Met Driver]

Cl47

 

[AlexS]

Class 58 in Railfreight livery.

 

[evil_hippo]

You are indeed right: a class 58! well done. 2 points to Alex


CURRENT SCORES
2 POINTS Jonb
2 POINTS Alex
1 POINT Gareth
1 POINT Marv

[AlexS]

Class 66 on an MGR.

 

[evil_hippo]

It was too small. I don't know why it ended up so small. last time I looked it was three times the size! All right, you get two points, but it doesn't stop me from resenting you, or rather whatever program along thee way reduced it from 400px accross, which is a lat harder.

 

[AlexS]

Where the hell has the picture gone.

 

[86242]

66 with HAA hoppers

 

[AlexS]

I already won it
