Seriously? Really?

@wicker man got closer, but how did we miss Fahrenheit 451?

I wasn't even thinking about it, sorry.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Better @jefmcg?

I also had this one

Ursus_C-451-1959

I was waiting for it all along then missed the opportunity. A quick google of 452 found the rat.

well it wasn't you. @classic33 posted it within a minute of the previous one. I wouldn't mind if it was a slam dunk, but the 451 walk through of a pointless phone games seems slightly worse than yet another John Deere.

1. a lot of these train, car and tractor manufacturers seem to be very aware that the set of natural numbers starts with 1, is infinite and countable. They seem to be working towards having a model for every natural number.
2. just realised, we haven't been using camera models, at all. They aren't for every natural number, but they do cover a lot of them. my DSLR is a 450D.

you only had a minute or less. Unless you spent your time hitting f5, you were going to miss out.

Mine's Olympus 620, I'll have to wait a while.

 

[classic33]

A Ford 451, could have followed the 450

 

[classic33]

Mine's Olympus 620, I'll have to wait a while.

Mine's Minolta 7000i, I've a bit longer to wait

 

[iandg]

Are we on 464?

 

[iandg]

Or should it be this?

I know it wasn't me, but I should have known anyway.

With trains in the UK, the manufacturers don't choose what class number their train is allocated, it is done through a system called 'TOPS' that was introduced in 1974 (I can't remember off hand what TOPS stands for, but before then it was a system that started at '1' and carried on until '9999'), but each class of train and individual train is given a number of between 4 and 10 digits which will not conflict with anything else (i.e. certain bits cannot be repeated), be it a loco, a multiple unit, a coach, a departmental vehicle, track maintenance machine, or a wagon, so for example, you can have a class 60 locomotive with 5 digits, but not a class 61 or 62, as any 5 digit numbers starting with those numbers are used for individual multiple unit coaches, etc etc. This means that you can only have certain 'class' numbers.

Numbers of 4 digits are for certain types of coaches
Numbers of 5 digits are for locos and other types of coaches, including multiple unit coaches.
Numbers of 6 digits are for Multiple unit 'set' numbers (the coach numbers are the individual vehicles, the 'set' is the identity of the train as a whole and includes the 'class' number).
Etc etc

..... And there is still a lot of variations in all of that, including types of electric Multiple unit working south of London that only ever have the last 4 digits of their number on show (an old thing the Southern Region did for some odd reason), not to mention many other anomalies, exceptions and other things.

In a system with unique numbers ranging anything up to 10 digits, the whole thing becomes very complex very quickly, and that is only in the UK.

Natural numbers, yes, but there must be plenty of other patterns out there too, and bear in mind that I have only posted a small number of train types out there.

I hope that isn't as clear as mud, because it feels like it.


EDIT: Yes of course the natural numbers are deliberate, sorry, I was thinking of something else.

Surely the only thing that is of importance with trains is prefixed 1 to 24? 11.20 to Iverness or the 12.40?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

It is 465, trust me.

Yes folks, it is.... A Glass 465!! (Groan):

No, it is how many cans of beer they have in the buffet!
