Nope and there could technically be two answers to this so i'll give you a clue..

I have a whistle..

Class 08

 

[D9521]

Class 08

Correct

I have 4 wheels on each bogie and i still work on the mainline..

 

[mbonwick]

Class 20?

 

[FusionRail]

How does a class 20 have 4 wheels and 1 bogie?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Well it isnt a pacer, as pacers arent bogied..

 

[D9521]

Class 20?

nope

 

[mbonwick]

A 20 does have 4 wheels per bogie...it's a Bo-Bo design.

Anyways, an 86 or a 90?

 

[90019]

67?

Unless you mean 4 sets of wheels per bogie, in which case; a 40?

 

[mbonwick]

It doesn't though, a 40 is 1Co-Co1
So it has 6 wheels per bogies and 2 separate. Hence 8 overall.

We need to think of Locos that have a Bo-Bo arrangement.

 

[D9521]

67

Correct

 

[37401]

Some may say you Drink out of me

[Ilove165's]

[37401]

86

I arrive entirely on my own,
I bear you into town on a rather bumpy ride,
Ye'd normally expect to find something like me on the road,
And I gave BR a massive headache for my troubles... hock:

What am I? (Clue: I didn't survive privatisation, and I don't work for Northern. )

 

[90019]

A 141

 

[Death]

Nope - What I'm thinking of is similar, but I don't think it ever got a TOPS class.

 

[90019]

Oh, I know; LEV1!

 

[Death]

Oh, I know; LEV1!

Alright...I was actually thinking of the R3, but as the LEV-1 is very similar in design and nature I'll give ye that one!

All of the 40's wheels are on bogies, the 1 designates an unpowered axle. Such as A1A, Powered, Unpowered, Powered.

And, a 20 doesnt have 1 bogie and 4 wheels, it has 2 bogies and 8 wheels.

 

[mbonwick]

Yes, but it has 2 bogies of 4 wheels each :roll:
