It is noted that the locomotive and carriage stock list for Tyseley has not been updated since February 2002 http://www.tyseleylocoworks.co.uk/downloads/stocklist.pdf Clearly since then there have been a number of arrivals. Would it be possible to provide an updated stocklist particularly with regard to carriages. Visitors to the recent weekend have reported that three Mark 2's not on the stock list were located in the back high level sighting but could not be identified. One of these was presumed to be BFK 17090 that has been present for many years but not listed whilst the identity of the other two that were tarpaulined over remains a mystery. Apparently enquiries made on the day drew a blank. Somebody must know the identities though. Anyone able to help?

 

Clicking on the link you quoted above now provides a stock list dated 4th July 2013. That should help....

 

Unfortunately the revised list does not really help as it is very wide of the mark especially with regard to carriages but not exclusively. A few initial observations are:-

BR Diesel Locomotives

D1015 listed but currently believed to be at Old Oak Common.
37263-D6963 not listed but has been resident for some time now.

BR Diesel Units

Listed 55034 returned to Chiltern Trains some time ago but 55024-977858, 55025-977859, 55032 and 59506 that are believed to be now present are not.

BR Coaches

Not listed but observed at the recent open day are 5186, 5194 and 9711. In addition as well as visiting support coaches that for 5029, 35461, was also present and is presumably considered to be Tyseley based.

With regard to the three Mark 2's located in the back high level siding. One was presumably 5420 now listed whilst the other two still remain a mystery. One is probably 17090 as previously mentioned but this is still not listed but as to the other?

The list still does not include any items of NPCCS, wagons or cranes of which many very interesting examples are present.
