Career

The Southern Region initially numbered its departmental EMUs in a series between S1 and S101. In 1968, a new series was adopted; 001-099. Existing units were renumbered to fit in that series, which also included other non-passenger stock, i.e. those EMUs converted for parcels traffic. Several of the numbers 001-099 have been reused for different units. When TOPS class numbers were allocated, these units retained their existing numbers as the last three digits of their new TOPS class number. The table below lists the mobile instruction units allocated Class 933:

gollark: The 1.8 one is Thaumcraft 5 which nobody used much.
gollark: No, the 1.7 version.
gollark: Unrelated: trying to make a nice base, so I made this 70-block-tall staircase, but now I want something to put at the top and am being indecisive again.
gollark: I'm not sure trying to go around enforcing it with specialization limits is the answer. Maybe a TC4-esque research system.
gollark: A quarry, created with a few hours of play time.
