Can anyone help with how many versions of this were produced?
I know of R2151 numbered 157...
But I think this was also produced as...
R2151A numbered 196 and R2151B numbered 156 (& named Mcmurdo?)..
Anyone confirm if this is the case?

Wow! What number of variations on a theme!
But what a godawful numbering system...
Not that many mfrs have anything remotely resembling a logical system, such as NNNN - mmm, where NNNN denotes a type of locomotive, car, structure, etc, and mmm denotes a specific variation of that type. Now that would make it simple to keep track of what's what. But I guess we can't ask for simplicity, can we. :-)
