Pacer Renumbering

[Crossforth]

Hey Guys

Was reading earlier about when Heaton renumbered it's 142s from 1420XXs to 1422XXs (SCG mechanical gearboxes) and 1425XXs (Voith hydraulic transmission).

The ones that became 1425XXs were:
142516
142518
142519
142520
142521
142522
142525

Anybody know which ones became 1422XXs?

Does anybody have or know where to get pictures of the Pacers with these numbers?

Thanks

all the Heaton-based units with Voith transmission were renumbered, having 500 added to their unit number. Thus 142016/018-022/025 became 142516/518-522/525. This renumbering was undertaken to avoid confusion with Heaton's Class 143 units and lasted until mid-1991, after which the system was abandoned and the units reverted to their original numbers.

Hi All....that guy called Peter is actually me! I set up the Class 142 Pacer Group a year or so ago and I have just released a book "Still Nodding - A History of the Class 142" which has been printed through the Historical Model Railway Society. Its available for just £4.99 through the Class 142 Pacer Group (http://pacer-pete.webs.com/apps/webstore/) as well as through the Pacer Preservation Society (http://pacer-preservation.webs.com).
