Name That Train!

Nope.

 

Is it from DTG?

 

Yes. There's more to the post than what you can see of the train.

I'm going to post the picture again- it'll be easier to have it at the top of this page rather than the bottom of the last one.

 

Is this a Diesel loco?

 

Yes.

 

Time for another view methinks.

 

Is it the prototype Deltic?

 

I wondered if the location (Shildon) might be too much of a giveaway especially in conjunction with my profile pic' but I guess not.

 

I did not recognise the location

Ok what is this

 

Same picture with less of a crop

 

From DTG
Also available in Green & Red colours, and a few more via a reskin

 

It is from DTG as a stand alone product.
And it can go on any BR Route

 

Last Clue - if nobody has it by Sunday I will post a full picture

 

No takers?

 

Available in blue, green and red suggested something old that went on to be used as parcel stock but I'll be dipped if I can figure out what even if that's not a false trail.

 

it comes in BR Blue and Reskins give it older and newer colours
It is not hauled stock and I thought the number would help?

 

I thought from the first two screens it might be the tool boxes from the side of a class 08, but the number has thrown that theory out of the window!

 

Most pictures are of something obscure and you have to guess what the thing is - like in the Name the Cab thread
I thought as nobody was guessing I would show the number on the side of it
But most people look what it shows on the end

It is from DTG as a stand alone product - not with a route
And it can go on any BR Route in the game

 

I think it might be a class 419 MLV?

 

Correct
They ran in Green and later in Royal Mail Red - reskins from Backdated Trainsim
Being a BEMU they could work away from the third rail system

Your turn

 

What is this?

 

Class 58?

 

Well that was incredibly quick! Correct, your turn.

 

This is third party. In this instance the location is not a clue. Be quite specific.

 

A difficult one as there is nothing in the picture to give a clue

 

There really is- just not the location this time.

 

They is nothing to see apart from a yellow sand sort of colour and something to the top right.
I presume it might have a military connection with the tanks in the background - so I have no idea

 

I'll post another picture in a bit but I do think there's enough to go on here. If Broomwagon is looking he'll get this in a heartbeat.

 

I'll guess it's a kettle...

 

You'll need to narrow it down a bit more than that although when I said be specific I'm not asking for an individual loco' like last time.

 

The loco has a Westinghouse Pump and is in a sort of Desert Sand livery
So is the Loco available thru Steam?
If not is it Payware?

 

It's still third party and it is payware.

 

Yes I missed the third party bit in the first post
Is this a loco that runs/ran in the UK?

 

Yes- and still does though not in this guise.

 

Depends if you know the loco then it might be easy - like the MLV - but if you don't it is a puzzle

 

I was wondering if the army vehicle in the background had anything to do with it... it isn’t one of those ROD 0-6-0s in desert sand livery, is it? That’s the only loco I can think of in desert sand livery other than the 52, and it fits well with the army vehicle. Not sure of the precise class.
Edit: just looked it up, J36?

 

I did put them there for a reason.

You're right- it's not.

 

Hmm... which other locos were in ROD livery... A dean goods perhaps? A mogul?

 

Nope.

Nope.

Also available in green, blue and black.

 

War Department Austerity 2-8-0?

 

You know what- I'm going to take that since it does seem have been harder than I thought but specifically it's an armoured one. All the rolling stock I used in the set-up is included with this Victory Works model while the locomotive itself can be WD green or khaki (with or without armour), Longmoor Military Railway blue and unlined black liveries for Big Four and BR. Edit: And Dutch.



Back to you.

 

When did the locos run in this condition?
I have not found any pictures of them like this

 

Interesting. The only armoured train I knew about prior to this was that of the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. I was close with mogul though, only two wheels off...

 

I can't find any photos of them in this condition either, but the manual states that they were used in mainland Europe after the Normandy invasion, so presumably this is where they would have had the armour plating added.

I'll get a new screen up later this evening.

 

OK, let's see if this lasts any longer than my previous effort!

 

02?

Edit: BR TOPS Class 02 Diesel shunter to be clear- not the LNER freight monster.

 

Neither can I though my search has amounted only to a few minutes with Google. There is a note in Victory Works' site though which shows both that the plating was actually designed, made and fitted to at least one loco' so it is authentic but also that it seems not to have been used in active service:

It is indeed a class 02 shunter. Back to you!
