Renumbering Mk2 coaches. HELP?

Due to having multiple coaches with the same number I'm going to renumber some.
The coach numbers are as follows with their depot as listed in 1989 Platform 5 book:
· 6x W5449 (LA) Mk2b TSO

· 2x W13493 (OM) Mk2b FK
blogentry-11924-0-61585200-1461848966.jpg
· 2x W16084 which is not a Mk2 number but think it is a Mk2b BFK?

· 1x E6524 (MA) micro buffet TSOT
· 1x 5456 (OM) micro buffet TSOT in NSE but this is a TSO number

Also I have the following Mk2A BFKs
· 1 x Hornby 17086 in NSE
· 1 x Bachmann 17079 in NSE
· 1 x Bachmann 14080 in Blue/Grey
· 1 x Bachmann 17093 in Blue/Grey

 

And finally

 

· 1 x M34571 (Mainline) Not listed in 1989 Platform 5 book. Think this is a Mk1 BSK?

So obviously at least 8 coaches will need a renumber.

 

The big question is now what to renumber them all?
I'm wanting to have all Laira numbers if at all possible.
The Waterloo - Exeter rakes were 3 TSO, 2 BFK, TSOT, 3 TSO.

 

My Thoughts at the moment are to number the Lima TSOs as:
5449
5436
5450
5459
5461
5496

 

I have no idea what to do with the others, so if you have any ideas drop me a line.

for the FK why not use 13499 which is an Eastleigh NSSX allocation.

for the BFK choose a number from the range 14104 to 14112 and try and find one allocated to a depot of your choice

I'm looking in my 1989 platform 5 book but not seeing 2b BFKs listed and nothing with numbers of either 14104 to 14112 or the equivalent 17104 to 17112

use 17107 and 17109 for the 2b BFKs, not sure what depot they were allocated to but they were the last 2 to survive

Good call.

Rule 1 applies
