Wagon numbers

Hi Guys and Gals

Help me out if you can I am building up an Excel file that I call my Spotters Handbook
it deals with locomotives / units by class and at present Wagons are in muliptle pages listed by TOPPS first letter Coaches by Mark (MK1/MK2/MK3 etc)

I have found a website that gives me some number lists but not all
at present I'm looking for number series for CURRENT cement airflow wagons -- the PCA PXA's
does anyone have a list that can help me out here ???

Still working through my old spotting books too to try to get historical numbering too but just scratching the surface yet

Gray,
I have had a word with a mate of mine about your query and he has loaned me a couple of his wagon spotting books (2009 & 2010). They are produced by M&B Gardner, 7 Wren Close, Aylestone, Leicester, LE2 6LX.
I haven't read through them to see if any have been scrapped etc.
The numbers are as follows:-
PCA
9475, 9484
10000 - 10049
10600 - 10651
10667 - 10699
10738 - 11141
11200 - 11243
55531 - 55573
According to the books the PXA are, quote, Bogie scrap/Aggregate/Spoil wagons.
The numbers are:-
3248 - 3259

Clicked on a page the next day and found the PCA's so now got them sorted
got some PXA's but there's lots of different ones
all seem to bee bogie
but things like the bogie trailer train adapters are PXA's
some Nuclear Flasks WERE PXA's
things like 93100 is a PXA but thats a Bogie crane Container wagon prototype

As you see by doing historical listings back to my old days Is not helping for present day spotting

Looking at Gardners books and the Gareth Beyer website, it almost makes me think about going to Barnetby, Leicester and Donny to do a bit of wagon spotting.

Toton'a not bad for Network Rail stuff too as well as EWS Coal
Don't forget a visit to Barrow Hill to the Shed to take your Binoculars for the Freightliner sidings too
