Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Though actually the bird was a Golden Eagle (according to my orthonoligist colleague at work). So technically Porcy Mane got one wrong too so it's a tie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Unfortunately that also affected 16 Across. I've got to agree with Andy on that. Even though I had discovered the tops number of Cheltenham via Google and realised that only the class 50 number would fit, I'd forgot to alter my final submission so Ramrig won fair & square. Congratulations to him and enjoy the trainset. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted March 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2015 A couple of errors, and a couple of wrong numbers, but still very enjoyable (and tedious in the same measure) Certainly kept me busy over a few lunch breaks. Couldn't believe there was a loco called wolf hall, searched for ages and failed to find one do went for a very tenuous connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2015 Though actually the bird was a Golden Eagle (according to my orthonoligist colleague at work). So technically Porcy Mane got one wrong too so it's a tie. Yes, Golden Eagle caused me considerable headaches - until I realised that 'Eagle' (the Class 50 would fit) - and 30925 would also fit. Mind you I'm no one to talk, I picked the wrong ******* Prince of Wales, clearly my mind is wedded welded to the steam era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwenglish Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Very surprised to be a runner up! Thank you for the competition Andy, it was very enjoyable and quite the brain teaser! Talking of tenuous connections, the only number I could find to fit for the Prince of Wales one was the number of The Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales Own). Bring on RMWeb's 15th or 20th anniversary! It will give me hopefully enough time to learn about TOPS Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted March 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ah – but regarding VoR #9 did the Loco ever actually carry 98009? If not, can 98009 actually be called its' number? A “virtual” computer registry number at best?Just a thought. (From someone who is dreadful at crosswords in general and this one in particular!)Thanks Andy,Kev.(Ducks for cover!)

Andy Y Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I never said they were numbers they carried; didn't want to make it too easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2015 I don't know about VoR locos, but main-line certified steam usually have the TOPS number painted inside the cab roof for reference should it be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted March 22, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2015 On that basis the winner will be Ramrig with one incorrect answer. Whilst I congratulate Steve on his win, I have no idea how he's going to explain down at the Club why he's got a GWR train set and we have a London Midland Region layout based on Duffield just north of Derby . . . .

Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 At least, Mike, it will console him after Derby's current horrendous form on the football field..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 For those not aware, this site lists all the steam names. And on the LHS, via diesels, you get all the diesel, electric, and mu names too. http://www.railuk.info/steam/steamname_search.php I got stuck on one - Cheltenham.(Though I found the name but no loco number to fit). That was because of Fighter Pilot, with a C in the number! I had that down as Tornado, the earlier one. So 30925 didn't fit.... Very enjoyable though, thanks to Andy.

RMweb Premium Ramrig Posted March 22, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have been out all day basking in the glorious sunshine and missed all of this. When I went out I was a runner up........................ then a stewards enquiry....................... followed by promotion (more than Derby will get on current form ) ................... and now I have a GWR WW1 set............................................... I can see a certain (large) amount of "urine extraction" next week at club . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
