EVNs - Which locomotives have it displayed?

[themiller]

I’ve noticed that the RailAdventure class 43 power cars carry a full EVN on the exterior. Are they the only locomotives (apart from the Clayton class 18s) to carry these?

 

[kacper]

I recall the carriages of Class 197s mah have these?

Most (if not all) of the new multiple units have EVNs applied externally but I was wondering about locos.

For those, like me who have no idea what an EVN is it stands for European Vehicle Number.

For anyone wanting to know more there's a detailed article here https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/rightlines-article/european_stock_numbering.html

Introduction​

In a previous article, Hunting Lions in Zürich, I showed photos of the locomotive numbers and listed the coach running numbers with the promise that I would compile a future article to explain these. Here we are!

The idea is that a unified system is used across Europe to uniquely identify any item of rolling stock/motive power.

Not only will this article (attempt to) explain the fields of the full number, it will also cover the calculation of the checksum (verification) digit that it includes.

Where possible, I have tried to reference data from the relevant administration authorities. However, this has not always been possible without cost, so some third-party information may be presented which is offered without guarantee of total accuracy but which shows a modicum of consistency with official data.

The Northern Irish locos also have EVNs, as they run internationally.

I couldn't get any joy from the link in the last post.
Maybe this will help - from the horse's mouth, as it were:

https://otif.org/fileadmin/new/3-Reference-Text/3D-Technical-Interoperability/3D1-Prescriptions-and-other-rules/UTP-MARKING-2021_e%20In-force.pdf

OTIF and the EU Rail Agency manage this jointly. OTIF is mainly non-EU countries, I think (not too sure on that point).

will the 93's and 99's carry EVN's?

 

[themiller]

The photos of 93001 at RailLive show that there’s no EVN externally. As an aside, I’ve seen many new freight wagons recently which have only an EVN.

I believe Eurostar trains carry EVNs, at least the 374s do.

Northern's class 195 and 331 units carry full EVNs on the sides of each vehicle....but incorrectly written, with no spaces or hyphens.

The 373s do, too.

No surprise there given that in recent years a lot of the UK fleet numbers have been incorrectly written on the stock without the spaces between the class identifier and the individual fleet identifier - even though it is still specified in the standards somewhere...

 

[childwallblues]

Merseyrails new 777s carry full EVNs

 

[popeter45]

I assume they have too as travel to the continent

In that logic do DB's 92's carry evn's?, I assume the exported ones must?, same for the exported 86/87's?

 

[Dunfanaghy Rd]

Exported vehicles will be registered in their new homes. Does anyone remember the move of Seacows to Romania, back in 2012/3? (What the Romanians did to us to deserve that I can't imagine!)

I'm afraid I can't remember where I got the image from.

Should be fettled now, there was a bit of oddity in the URL

 

[Richard Scott]

The 373s do, too.

I thought they did but couldn't remember as not been on one in a while.

 

[Ashley Hill]

A couple of GWR IETs appear to carry these numbers.

A couple of GWR IETs appear to carry these numbers.

think the TPE 802's are the same so could be the GWR 802's that carry them

Can someone post a picture showing the EVN please so I know what im
Looking out for ?

(Or is it more obvious than I’m suspecting?)

There’s an example in the first post of the previous thread about EVN display, back in January:

EVN no longer needed on new stock?

Long time lurker here. It seemed to be a rail standard not so long ago that any item of rolling stock had a GB number shown o. The body side, together with an European Vehicle Number (EVN). I note the new class 93 and a few other newish bits of stock do not show it. Is it no longer a...

But I think the usual way would be to highlight the 6 digit national number within the leading code numbers and final check digit.

Perfect thank you
