Just updated my site with pics of 66709 at Shoeburyness hauling three ex South Eastern VEPS from Shoeburyness - Newport running as 6V91. Pics at: http://www.jon-bradley.fotopic.net/c598348.html

Thanks

Quick pedantic correction: All of those are CIG units

 

[jonb]

Ah right thank you for correcting me, i'm not much of an expert when it comes to Slammers.

1 is for CIG
3 is VEP
2 is BEP

That isn't true really, as CEPs are 1 as well. But generally that is so.

Don't worry about that. Look at the coach. If it has lots of doors (at every seat row), then its a VEP or a VOP. If it has about 3 doors per coach, has sliding windows, and the VEP style front (As your pictures demonstrate) it's a CIG. If it has a hopper window, an old looking front, and a few doors, its a CEP.

The second digit in the number for CEPs is anything upto and including 6. CIG's second number is anything over and inclduing 7.

CEP example: 1650
CIG example: 1750

But why worry about the technicality if you can just look at the coach body and decide?
