Dan's Christmas Advent Calendar

[DesertHound]

Oh my  What have I gone and said?

Ditape, I humbly apologise for labelling you one of us ale swilling, beer belly bulging monsters. Might I offer you a 125mm white wine token for the correct answer instead?

Then again ... you might like Ale 

[Geoff]

I will have a glass of white wine, oh and a glass of red as well..

[DesertHound]

Well all I can say is that the picture is cool 'cos there's a flying kangaroo in it.

Even though I don't fly QANTAS (me sister-in-law works for them) and I'd only be interested in a virtual Victoria Bitter 

Careful Bealman, you might find your one-way ticket suddenly has a return coupon on it and your citizenship has been revoked if you bad mouth the national tipple like that!

Cue B757-236GT (one of our members for those of you wondering what I'm harking on about), we need you over here from the "Heavy Metal" thread. What say you about my chronological blunder with the Qantas Boeing 747-400 in the background of the BR Blue class 56? Did the two co-exist in a period of time? Methinks perhaps not - but methinks it must have been close!

Well I'm disappointed in you lot not guessing the make of the MAN 2000 Gimme Lorry. The stale beer token is now being transferred to the first person who can spot the loco in Day 2's pic!


Only Me - is your MAN driven by Jensen Button? You've got slicks on yours! Certainly no use in a Christmas diorama

The loco can just be spotted inside the tunnel, looks like it has reached a dead end 

cheers John.

[B757-236GT]

First 747-438 delivered in july 1989 as VH-OJA. At that tme there were a few romanian 56s in blue 56004 being the best known but i know of 56010 withdrawn in 1992 and i think 56021 and 028 but i dont have my combines handy. 56004 was by that time rebuilt with later cabs and retained blue livery right through till withdrawel around 2000.

Qantas got their first Boeing 747-400 in August 1989, there are pictures of 56076 in Railfreight Redstripe livery dated 1988

Richard, our undisputed Heavy Metal encyclopedia, you Sir have made my day. So what you're saying then is that I'm chronologically correct, correct? I should have saved that Beer token for you!

Well, now that we can't use that as a chronological faux paux, can anybody spot anything else? I'm sure there'll be some in the coming days!

[scotsoft]

Thank you sir, I shall use it wisely 

[B757-236GT]

You are fine sir. VH-OJA is still going with Qantas now and apart from having the newer  circus roo logo its still the same basic livery.

On the Third day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Three A Class 47
Two A MAN Lorreeee
and a Class 56 in a Pear Tree ...

RussellH correctly pointed out that I need multiples of everything to match the day we're on. In that case can you guys donate 24 Class 20's to me for Xmas Eve? 

The Hof is making his way closer to the stage exit door ...

Well I'll be flummoxed after day five then, and unless somebody can provide a pic of their pimped up Farish 4-poler then we're up the creek without a paddle for tomorrow too!

[RussellH]

just use one class 24....

and so we dont miss out on 37's (and anything else about a class 25!) can we have a 37/4 for tomorrow please?

We'll be going on for months if I follow that rule! In which case the class 47 was a bit premature. Good job I don't have my class 90's or HST125's out here!

Your wish shall be granted Jedi Master! ... don't know if it will be a "4" though. Wouldn't know the difference if you hit me around the head with it
