Yeah but is there anything decent from that year?

Cl 43 prototype's? No later I think? APTE, was that earlier? or later? 47/4's?

Arrrgh.

Yay Damon.....................Ohhh hang on that's a bit too Hornby as well, there must be some proper trains from 1972!

I was born in 1951 so just about all the BR standard steam locos and every diesel and electric build since, I`ve seen them build them and seen them scrap em, I really hated the Deltics when they were dispalcing the A4s and now I mourn the Deltics.

 

[Crompton Karl]

I'm class 508's hock:

 

[Ascot]

Late Class 90.

Come on there's a few 66s and a few Prairies on this forum.

 

[Ilove165's]

1989?...I dunno....someone help me out?

Sam

 

[me123]

1991, so...

Class 153 was "reformed".
60s, 158s, 165s, were in about the middle of their construction period.
91s and 321s were at the end of their construction period.
The new class 41 was proposed, as was class 62.

 

[Z12XE]

the original batch of 317s

 

[hairyhandedfool]

1989?...I dunno....someone help me out?

Sam

319s were either side of 89(319/0 - 1987-88, 319/1 - 1990) I think, so I guess your closest is the bins (321 (1988-1991))

as for me..........315s.....oh dear!

 

[mbonwick]

1993 anyone?

 

[hairyhandedfool]

1993.....Hmm.....

At a guess......373, 323

 

[Ascot]

Can just use Wikipedia for years

 

[me123]

1993 on wikipedia:

Last of the 323s, 373 TGVs [applauds hairyhandedfool's guesswork ]

Also, the first of the 92s and the planned 93s.

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Im 1981... Not sure what was being built but I'm a class 26!

 

[hairyhandedfool]

315s were about 1980, its too early for 318s, try 317/1, they might be 82 though.

 

[me123]

315s sound about right; I can't remember if 317s were later or if that was just the 318s... 210s as well.
