EDIT: Now that I've read the wiki correctly (I blame the con-flu) you're very close, but it's not Metropolitan-Vickers, but their later merger with a ship-building and rolling stock company.

Nope.

EDIT: Hang on a minute...the company histories are getting confusing.

One moment while I read through wikipedia and clear up the clues a bit...

Right, sorry about that...rather a confusing mess of stock and mergers.

The company in question was what was left after Vickers brought out the shares of Metropolitan in Metro-Vick, and after its merger with a well-known Birkenhead shipbuilding company.

I think...

Eichhörnchen · 10-30-14, 06:12 PM

How about you get Ikalugin to explain it, Oberon? That'd help, I'm sure...

Was this loco built following the company's takeover by the French in 1989 then?

Right company, right power source, wrong train.

I have left a bit of a clue in another post in GT that might help ID the type of train...

London Underground 1973 or 1995 Stock?

So, so very close...

Jimbuna · 10-31-14, 09:06 AM

Well if neither of them that only leaves the Glasgow Subway train.

Nope, there's another. The clue is in another thread that I posted in since my return from London.

The new tube train on the District Line?

Right line, wrong train.

"D Stock" train

Eyup.

A D78 to be precise.

The second oldest stock on the underground after the 1972 stock on the Bakerloo line (which is really looking its age), the District line D78, soon to be replaced by the S Stock.
