Not sure this is valid as of course 47132 is not a TOPS number - it never existed
Just checked. You are correct. Allocated the number but did not carry it. I have edited to go + 47003-47134 so the answer remains the same.

Nice try, but 47133 never existed either!

From the Rules listed on Page 1 of this thread:

  • All numbers used in calculations, and as the results of calculations, must be locomotive numbers which have existed at any time since 1973 to the present day within the current 5-digit numbering system. They must have been carried on a locomotive at some time.
I reckon some of the dubious Class 03, 08 and 24 numbers quoted previously are a bit dodgy too...

91004- 03001 = 88003

This, from your own post #19 in this thread on 21 December 2021...

69002-03004+07004 = 73002

(edit forgot 03001 did not exist)



Reckon some adjudication is needed in this thread - remember not every random 5-digit number has been applied to a locomotive.

What 24s don't exist?

92006 - 01002 = 91004
To try and get this moving again it's been decided to go back to this move, so the current number is 91004.

Please do and try remember to only use TOPS number which have existed as not all five digit numbers have been used.
