Re: Last RM overhaul?

I believe 1563 would be correct as it entered service without the stainless centre strip. They appear to have been a short lived issue starting around RM 1600 (with bonnet badge still in place)

I have RM 1662 down as the first to have the triangular badge as RMF 1254 however, pictorial evidence suggests RM 1700 or thereabouts was the first delivered with the triangular badge and no bonnet badge. I need to check that.

On the Prince book cover, RM 426 has acquired a later condition grille.

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RM 1585, RML 2667 and several RTs
