"name That Cab!"

This isn't the TSW forum, and it won't be a TSW loco.

 

Nope...

 

Are we putting this to bed... Have we all given up???

Eric

 

I think so yes, just expand the picture a bit

 

If the picture showed more than a bit of metal we would have more to go on.
Lack of another picture is putting this to bed

 

If no one guesses in a day, the photo can be expanded till someone gets it.

 

Looking at this pic be like.....

 

This is ridiculous.. no one's going to get it. Why wait.. just expand it... and never do that ever again LOL

 

If someone’s got another one ready, please fire away!

 

Ill throw a curveball in here....

 

nihon no ressha ga arimasu ka?

A Japanese train? Presume it’s from the Story of Forest Rail - Kiha 750 or 720?

(If that’s right, someone else please put up a pic, just about to start yet another Zoom meeting ...)

 

Nope

 

JNRs class 103 from the Tadami Line

 

Close

 

I was going off this picture

 

He said it's British further up the thread.

 

I was replying to the picture from Blacknred81 where it shows Japanese Lettering and K/mh on the Speedo

 

Class 105 then...

 

Bingo

 

This one should actually be easy, just think American.

 

M7 Lirr

 

Technically you are correct, but this a Metro North model, not an LIRR one.

 

I had feeling I put the wrong route but knew I had the correct cab.

 

What was the postage stamp loco?

 

M7 on the Metro North

 

no... this one...


He said it was British.

 

Sorry did not notice that one

 

I'll post another clue later when I get chance...!!!

Eric

 

Oh... I thought we'd all given up and moved on seeing as others are posting other cabs.

 

Eric can still tease out more detail if he wants. Game will probably go quicker with two to guess.

 

Life chaotic at the mo... and I'm on annual leave...!!!

Bear with me...

Eric

 

Just join back in when you can, Eric, no rush!

 

Cheers Inver...

Housework gets in the way of Train Simming... The Mrs would go berserk if she knew I'd said that...!!!

Eric

 

Moving on... Here's a slightly larger snippet... It should be guessed now...



Eric

PS. Sorry its so late... Had to wait for the family to finish playing Fortnite before I could access the laptop... (sigh)...

 

Hey... Where'd you get that piccy??? It looks a bit like me...!!!

Eric

 

Class 150/2


What made it even harder was the distortion in your pic. You must have a VERY wide camera view set.

 

Well done Pooky...

My crazy cab shot has finally been solved!!! I have to admit it was done "tongue in cheek" and was a tad extreme...!!!

not particularly... This is the piccy I used:



What's possibly throwing you is the fact that the shot is slewed (ie: not square on to the cab window)... I wish I had a wider view but I guess I'm limited by my 15" screen... It's even more frustrating when driving a HST as I like to see the power & brake handles but in order to do so I "lose" the top half of the windscreen...

C'est la vie...

Eric

 

That's pretty wide You'd need a 15mm lens on a 35mm camera to get a view like that in real life
Ok... I'll post one up later... will be grabbing a shower soon.

 

I also like to see and ‘use’ the real handles, where possible, and I usually can get a good compromise where maybe the upper third of the window is cropped, to allow inclusion of the main controls (just sky). (Even now, I still often mix up ; and ‘ on the brakes, and prefer the controls.)

 

OK... Shouldn't be THAT hard if you have ever driven the vehicle.

 

Is this an AP one?

 

The AP what? [edit]... sorry, I thought you said "is that the AP one"... Yes, this is an AP model. The DTG one isn't massively different though, and you can always cross reference against real photos if unsure.

 

Yes, I just looked at the level of detail and thought that has the hallmarks of an AP cab.

 

Need a wider shot?

 

I'm guessing I'm correct in saying it's a unit...???

Eric

 

It is indeed a multiple unit.

 

Class 444...???

Eric

 

No... but yes. Not letting you have it until I get the exact class :~)

 

450 then...

 

LOL.... no... Stop thinking DC... start thinking AC. You're so close.
