Title: another 153/150 hybrid? Post by: LiskeardRich on February 16, 2012, 18:12:39 Just seen a 150/153 hybrid cross Angarrack viaduct. Anyone know which 150 unit is split in half now? I'd estimate it to be arriving in PZ around 1830.

I'd estimate it to be arriving in PZ around 1830. It was a 150 coupled to a 153 that you saw. There is a hybrid due out sometime next week though! Title: Re: another 153/150 hybrid? Post by: LiskeardRich on February 16, 2012, 19:22:32 Only appeared to have 1 coach from a 150, noticed because although dark the lights from windows and doors were odd.

Thought they would have fixes that one by now, others here may have more info. Saw the new 3 car 150/1/2 yesterday. Very interesting combo. Title: Re: another 153/150 hybrid?

The other vehicle was heavily damaged and is at Wolverton believed to being formed shortly

The other vehicle was heavily damaged and is at Wolverton believed to being formed shortly It was planned to have 153333 coupled to 52202 as they were both green (!). 153369 used as it already had its coupling modified to be able to attach to the 150 vehicle. Title: Re: another 153/150 hybrid? Post by: phile on February 17, 2012, 17:47:49 I was thinking that 153369 was the obvious as I believe it had it's snowplough/deflector/cow catcher at one end when attahing to vehicle of 150221.
Excuse my words but there has been a discussion on another forum re the attached equipment and what it is. I am looking forward to either seeing the new formation myself, or even a photograph, of the Hybrid colour scheme. Title: Re: another 153/150 hybrid?
