dmustu Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 My turn Series 85 DMU me thinks An extra ball of mochi for you! It is indeed a kiha 85 on a Wide View Hida service from Nagoya to Toyama. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmustu Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Staying with a Japanese theme, here's another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Looks to be one of the raised cab electric sets, but which one? I'm going to guess E189... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmustu Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It is indeed, a large dorayaki for you. Will post a pic of the train when I've got a bit more time as it's on the other camera. Was a surprise that one turned up at Naoetsu for our journey to Nagano. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Rather puzzled as there appears to be a number '188-102' visible in that view, but doesn't appear to link to the classification of the unit. Here's a new one, then. Clue: it isn't Japanese! I still have two 'golden oldies' that haven't been identified, from earlier in this thread (numbers of original posts shown). The first one is a much-travelled loco, photographed in 1975 - so I'm after the location of the photo as well as identification. #450 It was suggested that the second one could be a "Met Tank". Apart from being the wrong builder, colour and wheel arrangement there is, I agree a similarity, and there is someting of a serial connection - think 15 rather than 10. It is now the youngest of the three locomotives at its present site. #459 Oh yes, of the two one has an artistic connection, the other scientific.

EddieB Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Is no. 459 Columbine? Yes, it's "Columbine" - one of the early Crewe locomotives, currently on display at the Science Museum in London (hence the "scientific" connection. To explain another of the clues, in the Loco Profiles series, the "Met Tanks" were at number 10, and the "Crewe Type" (as represented by "Columbine") were number 15. One down, two to go.

EddieB Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 and repatriated to the UK Is #450 Cape Government Railway No. 993, now on display at Shildon? Yes, indeed! This is the ex-Zambesi Sawmills locomotive presented to David Shepherd (hence the "artistic" connection) and repatriated to the UK But where was it put on display in 1975? I think that 521 might be a Tyne and Wear metro train. Nope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was put on static display at the Whipsnade end of the Whipsnde and Umfolozi Railway, along with one of the Ford Popular(?) inspection vehicles from the Zambesi Sawmills line (I wonder what became of that?).
