I would like to sample an older Eurostar set this summer. Has anyone got the diagrams?

You could also do a dummy booking and see where the Premier section is. It's in the ends on a new Eurostar and the middle on an older one.
Bear in mind that it's not unheard of for the allocated type to change, sometimes at short notice and everyone needs to log in for new seats.

If you get a notification of a reservation change, then you know the type has changed (and you can go into the ES system and check what seats they've now given and try to change if you want to and can; but you don't have to select new seats, you can just log in and reprint your ticket with the amended reservation they've given you). But the change can be fairly last-minute - I've turned up at StP with my old ticket and old seat reservation, after a change has been made that I didn't notice the e-mail about - I knew when I put my ticket through the ticket gate and it spat out a piece of paper saying my reservation had changed and with my replacement reservation on it.

Not accurate.

The easiest way is to go on the DB website, enter your journey details as if you were going to book, and then look at the facilities for your selected train.

If it says "WiFi available", then it is a 374, and if it does not then it is a 373. Even though they both have WiFi fitted anyway.

But this is all very subject to last minute changes, and indeed my train has been upgraded to a 374 as little as one hour before departure!

One thing to keep in mind is that Amsterdam trains are all 374s, so if you want to travel on a 373 you would have to travel to Paris, Lille, or Brussel, and for the latter two check that you aren't on an Amsterdam-bound train

Easiest way is to join the 373 group on FB which has the booked diagrams for each day. With the usual caveats applied.

Off the top of my head, these trains are "usually" 373's.

9I10 & 9I35
9O32 & 9O59

They can be swapped at the last minute tho as I'm sure youre well aware.

That happened to me yesterday morning at STP when myself and other passengers booked on 9O08 (07:58 to Paris) had to exchange boarding passes for new ones due to a very last minute set swap for a 373, indeed departure was 7 minutes late due to that. I was in Standard Premier where I'd lost my solo seat for one of a pair of facing ones, however I was by no means the only unhappy passenger including and more importantly a family of 4 who had been split up across 2 different cars. Fortunately a very helpful and patient on-board crew member managed to move people around in a sort of musical chairs game to make everyone happy. :)

Incidentally the 373 I was on (I forgot to note the number) wasn't itself in the best of health, the toilet in the car I was in was showing as 'engaged' the whole time even when it wasn't, and on arrival at Paris Nord there was a PA announcement apologising to passengers in car 3 as the external doors weren't working and they'd have to leave via the adjacent cars.

Also later on at Nord I noticed that train 9O55 (19:11 to STP) was a 373.
