According to the Spotlog website that I have used to cross-check what 2 car units are required for haulage (with another recent lucky dip last weekend), I have noticed something strange regarding the numbering of the centre 2x2 centre cars (the ones numbered 92xxx).
It starts off with 92002 with increments of even numbers until 92266,, then there is a sudden illogical jump to 92402 then increments of even numbers ending with 92464. The cab units (91xxx) are in a logical order from 91001 to 91349 incrementing in odd numbers.
According to the Wikipedia page when I looked at it back in 2016, it mentioned that there are 85 trainsets, which would mean that there would be 170 each of the 91xxx and 92xxx. However, according to the Spotlog website having counted them, there are 175 lots of 91xxx and 165 lots of 92xxx in total. I am baffled here slightly on a couple of things.
1) How come there is nothing between 92268 upwards into the 923xx range?
2) How did the 924xx numbering range come about?
3) Is the Spotlog and the Wikipedia page right regarding the numbering range and the number of trainsets respectively?
