I'm thinking of a train class..

[Peter Mugridge]

158/0
158/9
159

Cummins 350hp
Cummins 400hp
Perkins 350hp

 

[David Goddard]

Nope. keep going, almost there.

 

[Schnellzug]

Netwrokers. 365, 750 v dc & 25 kv, 465, 466, 750 v dc, and also 165/166, Diesel.

 

[David Goddard]

Still in the right area, keep going.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Errr....

Desiro UKs?

Standard version with 1/3 and 2/3 doors ( all except the below ).
23m version with end doors ( 444 ).
Non-corridor version ( 360s ).



750v DC
25kV AC
Diesel

 

[David Goddard]

Too modern now. Will give you all until 18:00.

 

[Nym]

Actually:

185/1: 23m DMU No End Gangway 1/3,2/3
350/1: 20m AC/DC End Gangwayed 1/3,2/3
350/2: 20m AC End Gangwayed 1/3,2/3
360: 20m AC End Gangwayed 1/3, 2/3
380: 23m AC End Gangwayed 1/3,2/3
444: 23m DC (ACW) End Gangwayed End Doors
450 20m DC (ACW) End Gangwayed 1/3,2/3

The only two classes in there that actually bear any similarities are, umm... None of them really, all different configurations. (Asside from the 350/1 and 450)

210, 317 and 455?

 

[David Goddard]

You are one third there Jude.

Well the class in question are the two Class 210 Units (diesel powered)
Four cars from these were later rebuilt in 1989 as a Class 457 (750V DC) and then in 1990 became Class 316 (25kV AC).
Well done on all of your guesses. Those that guessed 150, 317 or 455 deserve credit for getting the right bodyshell design.
Open Floor!

 

[Temple Meads]

1) We were/are a unique design.
2) We weren't/haven't been as well used as expected.
3) We were designed with a specific purpose in mind.

 

[Nym]

Class 92, GTO Thyristor and Dual Voltage Dual Control Cunnel Locomotive, drastically underused.

 

[Class172]

Class 60?

 

[Schnellzug]

Class 67.

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 92, GTO Thyristor and Dual Voltage Dual Control Cunnel Locomotive, drastically underused.

It most certainly is!

Over to you.

 

[Nym]

I, unlike my cousin unit use the same drive control system as the class 92, that was woefully out of date for MU stock when I was introduced.

I also only operate on one line. (Although that shouldn't be needed)...

GO!

Wow, I thought this was easy! The whole fleet has just been lengthened?

 

[Schnellzug]

The Heathrow Express things? 332, is it?

 

[Ivo]

I would say the 458, but I didn't think the lengthening had happened yet? Ah well; 458 anyway.

 

[Nym]

No and no, they both use IGBTs....

 

[Peter Mugridge]

378s? They've just been boosted from 3 to 4 cars haven't they?

 

[Nym]

378s also use IGBT based drive systems, remember I'm looking for a unit that uses the same type of drive components as a class 92, namely GTOs (Gate Turn Off Thyristors) not IGBTs
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Oh come on, it really isn't that hard! I've have this exact same class as one of my answers before...

 

[hmp455]

Class 365?

 

[Nym]

When have the 365s been extended? Correct drive system but no...

 

[David Goddard]

1996 Tube Stock on the Jubilee Line?

 

[Nym]

FINALLY! 1996 Stock is correct...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Damn.... I actually half typed a post about 1996 stock then changed it to the 378s because the 378s were a much more recent extension...!!

 

[Nym]

But 378s don't use GTOs...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Well, I know that now...:roll:

 

[David Goddard]

I am a small class of traction who's basic design was used much more extensively for another class some years after I was built.

 

[Schnellzug]

59?

 

[Nym]

Oh sod it, Class 41 HST Prototype? (I think it's the 59, but it's taken)
