More vexation.

Not Silesia/Russia.... or Galicia/Russia

Last gamble for the day: something to do with the Trans-Siberian Express?

I have been advised to say "getting much warmer" (*I* got it straight away...and no, TommyDodd didn't tell me!)

(followed by me exclaiming "WHY Do i know this stuff?!?!?!")

Knowing Tommy and Peaches interests, I'd suspect Austria might come into it somewhere....................

Saxony. Klose articulation?

Unless he's alluding to something like Zs2v Richtungsvoranzeiger?

Red hot geographically, quite warm technically.

The only thing I can think of is something like locomotive classes. <shrug> I'll cheat and use google after afternoon ringing.

I=?
V=?
VI=?
It was, as previously established, total number of axles on the various classes of Saxon narrow gauge locos.

I 0-6-0T, so 3
II 0-4-4-0T Fairlie, replaced by coupling two class Is back to back, so 4 or 6.
III 0-6-2T with Klose articulation, so 4
IV 0-4-4-0T Saxon Meyer, so 4
V 0-8-0T, so 4
VI 0-10-0T, so 5
and VII 2-10-2T, hence 7.

I really wasn't trying to create a brain-bender from hell, honest. I figured everyone knows engines, and it wouldn't last more than a day...
