Game: Guess the train

Klaasgras · **Posted:** Sun May 06, 2012 12:08 pm

I have a book called `Damptriebwagen´. So I studied its chapter about France, but I cant seem to find it. But with the information I found, I am making a small guess:

Builder: Purry
Gauge: Standard
Purpose: Inspection

Company: ???
Builder: ???

Builders number: ???
Gauge: ???
Purpose: (track)-inspection vehicle - 1pt. Klaasgras

rest is wrong, I fear. as stated earlier, it is narrow gauge. I also wondered if this is railcar or, technically speaken a cab-foreward engine
a little more guessing and you may get it

Time for a bump, I would say.

Come on boys! Look again at this nice little loco -

with the two points already taken it should not be too dificult to make some educated guesses, you just need four points to win.
also review the hints I have given so far:
narrow gauge, the company have featured in this tread allready two times.

Is it 1067mm gauge?

Also, was it built by Krauss?

Wild guess;

Manufacturer:Decauville
Gauge: The first Decauville railway used 400 mm (15 3⁄4 in) gauge; Decauville later refined his invention and switched to 500 mm (19 3⁄4 in) and 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) gauge.
Company: Decauville railway (:P)

not bad, you are getting closer, but still no new points, I forgot to mention another hint I have given earlier: big Manufacturer on narrow gauge material from that country (means it´s french)

I did everything to find it - no luck.

I must confess it was a very good riddle!

I think you should post another one, not Klaasgras or me.

I read your pm, Coxx and I agree with Voyager One that you come up with the next one. I think it will be just as interesting as your last one!

Yepp, you got it.

I think this loco still exist, now with a rebuild open cab.

Your turn.

Voyager One · **Posted:** Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:47 pm

Took a little bit to find but it's a really nice loco. It's currently getting prepared for complete restauration for the RENFE museum.

Anyway, I like earning my win not getting it by a flip of a coin. :wink:

So... something that might be easy but it's really unusual... :lol:
