Have a small list to update when I get a chance, but to be fair I kind of cheated recently, with a TRUST printout in one hand and red pen in the other.
Ooh I like that idea, although I confess I haven't done a count ofwinners I've had by class. This is something I'll hopefully do next year, and I'm going to go and get my books shortly and do a list like yours TEW.
I've started it by chance, so 303 less LU units to count...

Obviously 67006 is rather elusive as I need that one as well. The other 67 I need, 67019, has been stored at Toton for the past year.
006 is a Thunderbird loco at the moment on ECML. So it could drop for me.

With regard to the 442s.
I cleared them this year but it was frustrating as you had to keep an eye on their formations.
I had 442409 with DTSO 77414 and another time it had been swapped out with DTSO 77406 from 442401.
This also happened with DTSOs from 442408 & 442418.
Being a completist on side numbers i made sure i had every carriage in the Class in whatever formation was thrown up.
So the sticky digits that pass for Class Unit numbers are shall we say.............fluid.
Different rail books and online sites will all offer different info.
The Southern Electric Groups website has an interesting feature on the Class up to around 2011 i think.

First red pen action of 2016 should feature 08742 plus hopefully a winning 60 and / or 66 on the Pathfinder tour. Unfortunately I have absolutely zero chance of getting to Chasewater for 08441 or Bo'ness for 56113.
My YTD doesn't include anything other than NR machines, and those are only listed for fun, so my YTD by your method would have been massive.
With many classes now dwindling in requirements, i doubt i would reach such a high figure again.
