Almost there then FQ, which is your last GWR power car to get?
Very nice, quite a productive weekend there for you!
FQ: Not a bad amount at all, I think I'm somewhere around 43,000 track miles on HSTs, obviously around 86,000 for class miles. I dread to think what that would have been if I hadn't stopped full-time HST bashing back in the day...
I know a couple of people who've had 43k off one power car. One has cleared a power car for 100k.

My highest is 43208 and it's not even cleared for the thou'! It's on 611. Then comes 43314 (581) and then probably 43053 (406).
Still trying to reconstruct my records after a pc failure five years ago, so can't give exact figures.
40145 is certainly over 1000.
155344 must be close, and mostly in 10 mile RCD to MCV segments.
I recall 87029 turning up a lot as well, back in the day.

Many congratulations young sir! I'd imagine there was restraint needed to stop a huge bellow of joy when it rolled in! Certainly happened to me after I alighted a Cardiff-Padd HST at Newport in May 2008. Yes it has been 8 years since I cleared my GWR HST power cars, and yes I missed the anniversary of the event on 12th May!
Looking forward to the trip report about it, I've got a feeling it'll be an excellent read!
