Can anyone help me the new (sort of) 150s for example 150111 and 150113 have these been renumbered as I can not seem to find them in books but are ex london midland (from the livery)

Cheers

Tom

Many of them were previously part of 150/0 hybrid sets and have now reverted to their original numbers. The only 150/0s still in existence are 150001 and 150002 which are on their way to Reading with FGW.

150111 is certainly with northern. I caught it last week. It has had minimal northern branding applied.

So 150111 is 150011 in book and 150001 and 002 same?

Just about, 150011 as I understand it, would be made up of 150111 with half of a 150/2 inserted in the middle. Over a period of years I'm not sure whether the 150/1 parts of the hybrid 150/0s became muddled so you could have 150011 made up of (eg) 57111, 572xx and 521xx, where the "xx"s are something other than 11.

The only swapping of 150/1 vehicles in the Centro 3 car hybrid sets were short term temporary measures, and they would all revert back to consisting of a particular 150/1 unit and half a 150/2. Not long before the units were split up for the recent cascades one of the hybrid 150s was running as 150/1 vehicle + 150/2 vehicle + 150/2 vehicle.

Can't remember which one but I know it had a car from 150216 iirc.
