50121?

Plonker!

Its both; there has been a row recently over whether we need a yellow front end. After all, they don't have it on the continent, and there aren't any recorded problems of seeing trains over there.

I don't know about that...

Mad Doug can put a train name to any random set of numbers.

50121 is/was probably a DMU coach. There were only 50 class 50s, 50001 - 50050 (although 50049 was numbered 50149 for a while).


...That said, @classic33 is sort of right, as 50021 was called Rodney, so yes, 'Plonker' is kinda' apt!

Have you put 1328 & 1330 together yet!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

....2658?

Allowances will have to be made!

1328 and 1330 sound like they were Class 421 4-CIGS

A bit of sideways thinking might answer @User14044's question though!

The new and the old at Banbury yesterday:
- the first class 68 I've seen, on one of the Chiltern loco-hauled trains. These were being hauled by 67s last time I looked.

and working WR lower-quadrant signals

Well that's a bit thick - Surely they would taken it into account!

I believe the company that didn't (design house) is no longer in business.
