Out of interest, have you thought of searching YouTube for any videos, Flickr for any photos, or Google UK for any web pages that may answer your question(s)? Have seen numerous 'old videos' on YouTube previously and who knows one may answer your questions.

UKTrainman Thanks for your response but that would possibly answer one of my questions which is what locos would pull them. They won't tell me wagon codes or anything like that. But once again thanks for your response Youtube that is

Wagon codes (MTA, MHA, etc) are on the side of the wagons in big letters - so watch a video on YouTube and pause it as regularly as needed and you should be able to see the wagon codes within the 'data panel'(?). If you're lucky enough and the video is in High Definition then it should make it even easier. That said, even in this video on YouTube you can clearly see the wagons codes and that is just standard quality.
