The core, which acts mainly as a power source.

6. Umi tries to cheer Shiouji up in what way?
By making treats made on childrens day and usually given to children. Shioji is not impressed. Or something. Kind of a dumpling, rice cake called Umichango-something or other. EDIT: By making him tea. Usually the problem is caused by her tea making.

That ghosts were haunting the apartment complex and they did it to him.

10. What did Hyatt do to leave a trail for excel to follow and what happened with the said trail?
She dropped her pills on the road while in the car with the kidnappers. Birds ate the pills. They died.

now this next round has a prize. I started a new hobby recently. I'm brewing beer lol. I have 2 bottles of my 2 recent brews up for grabs. Dr Greens medicinal and my latest one (F. now in the uk beer is usually sold at steam railways. in fact most steam railways hold beer festivals and some beer festivals have a railway theme to it. so in honor of that this next round has a railway theme to it. you can use the net for the first 9 questions but not the tenth.

1. What Steam locomotive holds the record for speed

2. What is the most famous Steam locomotive in the world

3. What is the largest Steam locomotive in the world

4. What was the name of the last steam locomotive owned by British rail

5. Dr Beeching is infamous in British railway history what did he do

6. I volunteered recently at the Great Central railway in leicestershire. Whats the main important fact about this mainline

7. what were the 2 railroad companies that built the transcontinental railroad in america

8. What was a merchant navy class locomotive also known as

9. what is the width of standard guage (the width of the track)

10. My latest brew is named after the 9F, a class of locomotive in britain. I named this brew for a reason, look at the picture of the 9f below and guess what that reason is

[Lord Il]

I need a wee hint for #10.

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

if i were to tell you that out of all the class only one was painted a differant colour. the rest were what you see above

[Lord Il]

hmm.. I think I know what you're getting at. It's all about color. But I'm still taking a guess at it too.

I've seen pics with red, green and blue engines. And from what I was able to find out, locomotives in Britain were mostly either painted green or just black. Black was far more preferred because it didn't show the grime residue from burned coal.

I'll give my answers tomorrow. ^^;; hmmm..

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

cool mate 

Well as for the clue it was simple enough. When they were built in the fifties almost all the locomotive classes were black. If it was earliar like say 1910s then you wouldnt have got it lol with over 50 colours lol

[Lord Il]

^That's a lot of colors! lol!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. What Steam locomotive holds the record for speed
The Mallard. It was clocked at over 202 km/h.

2. What is the most famous Steam locomotive in the world
Besides Thomas The Tank Engine? 
That would be The Flying Scotsman. Famous because of its long history as a passenger train with quick, efficient service and considered one of the more technically advanced in its earlier years.

3. What is the largest Steam locomotive in the world
This one wasn't easy as there was conficting info over what exactly is the largest. Info I found would seem to indicate that either Union Pacific Railroad’s "Challenger," or "Big Boy" locomotives are the largest - the largest of the large being "Big Boy." But the "Challenger" No. 3985 seems to be the largest still in operation today. I don't know if this answer is correct..

4. What was the name of the last steam locomotive owned by British rail
This was tough.... 70013 Oliver Cromwell?

5. Dr Beeching is infamous in British railway history what did he do
He was chairman of the British Transport Commission and did extensive pruning of the British Rail system in order to make it more profitable. It was a very contoversial move since it eliminated thousands of jobs. People living in remote areas would lose important transportation.

6. I volunteered recently at the Great Central railway in leicestershire. Whats the main important fact about this mainline
The GCR is presently the only standard gauge heritage railway in the UK with double track outside of stations.


7. what were the 2 railroad companies that built the transcontinental railroad in america
Central Pacific Rail and Union Pacific Rail


8. What was a merchant navy class locomotive also known as
They were originally known as the 21C1 class, a number which refers to the axle system - unpowered axles, driving axles, number of axles, and their locations.


9. what is the width of standard guage (the width of the track)
1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1/2 in)


10. My latest brew is named after the 9F, a class of locomotive in britain. I named this brew for a reason, look at the picture of the 9f below and guess what that reason is
It's a dark brewski in appearance.

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

 you did well lord il you got 8 out of 10. 

[Lord Il]

Woo Hoo!!! Not too bad if I do say so myself. 
I found this to be educational and even managed to remember a few things from history class. 

Someone else give this a try too. I don't want to be competing against myself!
