Title: Hybrid 150 Post by: Jim on April 06, 2008, 10:11:41 Because of someone having a brain in "fleet". A hybrid unit has been made out of 2 "halves". Half of 150244 in FGW livery and half of 150248 in Wessex livery. http://jimsphotoallery.fotopic.net/p49517822.html

Quite rare for "Fleet" to think that one up though! Title: Re: Hybrid 150 Post by: qwerty on April 06, 2008, 22:00:33 under wessex I seem to remember driving half of a 158 plus a 153. No clue as to numbers -sorry.
