"name That Cab!"

oh damn did not realise that sorry i'll put another british instead soon

 

Alrighty i'l let someone else post one instead

 

Here's "one I prepared earlier", in good old Blue Peter fashion:

 

320 or 321 emu

 

Spot on, think it was the 320, but forget now.

Over to you.

 

DTG UK train and route.

 

360

 

Let's try this.

 

LT 1938 IOW stock?

 

Bugger.... I thought that would be harder. I suppose I could say no and insist that you say Class 483, but that would be childish Over to you.

 

It was the flush door buttons that gave it away - similar to the 506 units I worked on
I will have to find something

 

Ok what class of loco is this

 

Steered with a ship’s wheel

Class 04, by any chance?

 

Yes - with the other thread mentioning it I thought I would share a view

Your turn

 

Here we go:

 

142?

 

Hole in one!

Looks like I really will have to crop down to a rivet to foil you!

 

We got them around the Manchester Area from new so I have spent many hours in 142 cabs

I will look for another cab view

 

AFAIK there was only 3 different traction with this gauge and only 1 in the game - what is it?

 

Something from the Western Region... 35, 42 or 52...??? My gut instinct is a 52...

Eric

 

I saw a gauge like that recently and was thinking of it as a future possibility, but for thr like of me can't remember where it was from now!

 

Nope, sorry

 

Ahhh... DMU... 101...???

 

Not quite but you have the idea

 

104???

 

I wish.

 

Sorry... I meant 105... My fat fingers on a phone screen sometimes aren't exactly conducive with each other!!!

 

Doesn't seem to be the 105, I already checked that.

 

You all seem to worked out it is a unit and it is available from DTG/Steam

 

117 DMU pressure dial?

 

Nope - not a 117 and not Pressure as such - more a lack of it

 

Ok, Class 121 vacuum cylinder gauges?

 

Yes, the Single coach units, 121, 128 Gloucester DPU & 129 Cravens DPU have this extra gauge to show the two bogies

Your turn

 

Ok, let's try this one:

 

Count me out... I don't do kettles...!!!

 

Me neither
Although I have a few they are too technical

 

Darn, hope I didn't spoil the game. In my defence, nowhere in the contest rules was it mentioned taht steam is not allowed. I'll start giving tips though.

Tip 01: It is a pre-grouping loco, none of the units made it into active BR service.

 

Ii it available on Steam? (please... no puns LOL).

When you say pre-grouping... you mean pre 1921, right?

 

1. It is not on steam, but it is from a pretty major current and active 3P designer. So its not something released 10 years ago on an old webiste that is no longert active
2. Yep, I meant to say that the class was designed and built before the Railways Act of 1921.

 

No idea... been looking on DT's site, but they don't show cab images for all their products... I've no idea myself either as I've not much interest in steam. Oh well... I gave it my best shot. I doubt hints would help me either LOL

 

It's ok, any cab is allowed - diesel, electric, MU, steam - even the gravity train

It's just there's not many here who seem into steam engines though.

 

I'll try to keep it interesting through the hints, even if people are not familiar with the model, they would be able to follow in a quiz format.

Hint 02: The sole suvivor of this class was once in the National Railway Museum, but it is not there anymore.

 

Still no idea. It could be anything from the national collection then.

 

In passing, this might be of interest. Photos of real cabs.

 

Hint 03: This class is a 4-4-0

 

I'll hazard a guess at a LSWR/SR M7... and it is a guess because for some weird reason there just aren't any photos of steam loco footplates usually... for all locos, not just this one. It's as if steam enthusiasts aren't interested. LOL. Diesel locos? ...there are millions of reference photos... apparently, not so for steam.

 

Not an M7.

M7 is an 0-4-4, while you are looking for an 4-4-0.

 

GWR3300?

 

Would not be a bad guess, but be mindful of hint 02. I do not think any GWR3300 were preserved, while the class you are looking for has one survivor.
