More vexation.

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?

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...
