Err, I seem to have lost track of our operational cars. No wonder, as I only did a few days in October last year. If I remember correctly we had in service last year: 2, 7, 22, 40, 45, 60, 68, 74, 180, 331, 345, 399, 812, 1297, 1622 and 3006. 5, 167 and 273 were off because of the wheel-track interface problems. 869 was UDE only. Of the regular(ish) performers of the previous years we have lost 106, 166, 510, 602 and 1282 and now 1297. 166 needs rewiring. Does anyone know why the other cars are off?
It appears to me that either we assume that our visitors prefer old cars, which probably is true, or that the workshop prefers old cars which definitely need less maintenance because there are fewer parts to maintain, or both.
