Didn’t the Z usage derive from the introduction of design TOPS codes? Need to find my RCTS coaching stock books from around 1980-odd to confirm the codes. edit: TOPS codes around 1984, according to LTSV at https://www.ltsv.com/rd/article_detail.php?id=10 too much to quote in its entirety but

Why would that be? Vehicle weight per passenger? Upper deck is light compared to an additional axle+wheels?

Tantalisingly, they're in the index on page 18 at http://www.barrowmoremrg.co.uk/BRBDocuments/BRPOWagons1Issue.pdf but crossed out, and as you say, the actual diagram pages skip from 010 to 013

There’s some interesting Ersatzzüge (replacement stock) operating in the Düsseldorf/Duisburg area, although as ever, try and check if they’re still running before setting off on a quest! The published timetables online for those lines (PDFs) usually give an indication of Ersatzzüge. a) locos...

There's a reference on LTSV at https://www.ltsv.com/rd/batch_detail.php?id=BWP-04951 suggesting they were goods brake vans with the van bit cut off and referencing PX012A. Do they appear in the Barrowmore diagram books? (I can't access those at the moment)

Very few running this week for engineering work. We were booked on EC7 to Mainz today but it disappeared from the timetables so we had to get an ICE via the high speed line. Some IC/EC/ICE were running via the Rhine, but not as many as usual. Our local train back from Mainz-Koblenz had a lot of...

Worth mentioning that when I went that way, on the Dutch side there were buses (coaches) for both Amsterdam and Rotterdam so check you're on the right one once you get off the boat. Think there may have been more than one bus for Amsterdam but relatively few passengers for Rotterdam so only 1...

Mostly down to using the same bodyshell for 1st and 2nd, with window spacing set for 1st seat pitch. 1st class bays lined up with the windows throughout.
