I spotted part of a 2009 Stock car in Bombardier's yard the other day (I told you that living in Derby has its advantages!) - it had yet to be painted but I'm pretty sure that's what it was! Of course I took a picture for the site; that's now on there if you'd like to see it, [along with some more sound effects (1938 Stock especially!) and a couple more line car diagrams]. Oddly I couldn't see any other 'Underground' trains in the yard, although there was a completed Overground Class 378 visible behind the 2009 Stock section. Funnily, in seeing the 2009 Stock car section I was instantly reminded of a photograph taken in 1991 which shows a 1992 Stock car being assembled: www.hpacde.org.uk/picturethepast/jpgh_derby/DRBY000446.jpg - not a lot to them really, is there!

I can't locate your photo, but suspect you may have seen the other half of the 09ts mock up which has been outside for some time now. When you post a link to the photo I will take a look and let you know.

Yep, thats the other end of the 09ts mock up alright! It was originally the strain guage car and was then cut in half to form the mock-up. If you hunt a little harder you will also find an 'S' Stock cab end lying on the ground nearby!!

It has already seen a bit of action in that case!
I spotted the cab end a while back (it was lying flat on a wooden crate without any kind of protection from the weather!) but it may have been moved since then, as I couldn't see it when I photographed the car section - though that may simply be as a result of the fence's construction: you need to be moving to see through it (as with a zoetrope)!
