Database of models sorted by prototype classes

[Seastar_44]

Hello all,

 

This is my first post in here, so I'm not entirely sure how everything works yet (particularly, which topic it should go under).

 

During the first lockdown this year, I started putting together a database on Google Drive of various locomotive classes to map the extent to which each class is available as ready to run 00 gauge models. These files aren't finished yet, but I thought I'd put them up here to see what people think and to hear if there are any suggestions for improving the system.

 

Each class (only named classes, so far) is laid out with build and retirement dates as well as the dates of significant modification for each locomotive (example: rebuilding of Bulleid's pacifics). The product numbers for each model are listed in the chronological order of the prototype's appearance, so a newer model of an original Merchant Navy in SR Malachite is listed before a model of a rebuilt one in BR Green with late crests.

Yes, I have, and this lot was put together to give a better overview of the class covered by RTR stock.
