Well done on clearing your 377s for sight, a tough enough challenge without thinking about clearing them all for haulage!

68020 and 68023 this week.

If you ignore anything less than 1 year old, I need one loco and one EMU (heavy rail).

It's an excellent feeling isn't it, clearing the 379s for sight. Especially for us out-of-townies and if you manage it without any gen!

OK, here’s my much delayed catch up for this year, consisting of all new sightings from 01/01/16 to 25/05/16. Anything 7xxxx, 9xxxx or 9xxxxxx is a track machine. 40xx are class 374 pairs. 25xx are Croydon trams and two digit numbers are Birmingham trams. 21xxx are S Stock pairs – three digit numbers after S pairs are stuff in the Underground engineering fleet. 3128 is a carriage.

A quick question on the subject of sightings - is there an up to date track machines book that:

a) Has everything in number order like the combined volune instead of being listed by company?

b) Lists the 9xxxxxx series numbers for road / rail machines and other small plant?

Not a clue what those 940s and 942s are to be honest! My ST Publications UK combine 2013 has a ton of track machines in it, however I'm reasonably sure it doesn't have road/rail stuff in it. I can't say that without checking mind.

I can't recommend an up-to-date book, but can suggest my other website - http://ontrackplant.com - has listings of pretty much every track machine / road-railer. You can log your sightings so you know which you've seen and need. You can also view everyone else's sightings to help you track down anything you need.

Thanks, but I'm really looking for a fully numerical list rather than broken down by company - it's much easier to cope with. The last time I bought a book was On Track Plant 2003 and the scattered layout of it completely put me off buying further editions of that particular publication!

Looks like everyone's done well lately. As I have too:

Well well well, didn't I do pretty well on Tech's Uprocking Bash! Judge for yourselves how well the conquering of the UK is going:

10/07/2016

LU Jubilee line:

96113

I was expecting more than to be honest!

LU S7 half sets:

21317
21318
21345
21346
21367
21368

21405
21406
21473
21474
21479
21480
21493
21494
21495
21496

21515
21516
21517
21518
21519
21520
21523
21524
21525
21526
21543
21544

You'd think I was nearly done with that list wouldn't you? Hah, no chance! Still a lot of high-numbered sets to go yet, although I confess I have no idea if they're anywhere near finished delivering the new order yet.

LU Central line:

91015
91017
91053
91069

91129
91147
91175
91177
91179

91225
91249
91257
91307
91327

92106
92118
92184
92212
92234

92402
92408
92422
92446

You really don't want to see how many I still need...

c2c kindly provided this score:

357321

11/07/2016

Let's start this time with the mainline scores for sight:

387129
387215
387219
387222

458503
458519

700114 (at least it's a start!)

LU Northern line:

51554
51555

LU S7 half sets:

21303
21304
21307
21308
21311
21312
21395
21396
21499
21500

21533
21534
21551
21552

The majority of the sets between 21301 and 21401 are now cleared for sight, only 6 to go from memory. The higher numbered ones look bleak still though!

LU Piccadilly line:

106
184

Still far too many of these to get for sight...

LU Victoria line:

11003
11004
11011
11012
11061
11062
11065
11066
11075
11089
11090

Now that's more like it, only 9 sets I think (I'm doing these lists on my commute to work today, which filled 85% of the journey!) to find for sight. Next time Gadget, next time [/Dr Claw reference]

Finally, Midland Metro tram:

19 (3 more to get for sight)
