75404 I believe.

Greg, if in future you search the head code it will link to an excellent list Dan prepared in January 2020 as a separate Forum post.

I hadn't noticed that a few on the main headcodes page didnt match Dan's list, so I have also updated the main page.

DR75404 and DR75405 seemed to run as 6J70 and 6J71 until around 2014, since when they've been using their current codes. I presume they were changed as they clashed with some regular freight codes at the time. Think this was also why DR73906 and DR73921 were changed from 6J46 and 6J47 respectively.

Hi again, I've noticed that the Windhoff MPV's aren't included in the Headcodes section.. Would anyone happen to know what code they run under? I keep seeing a service 3J81 running through Derby in the early hours (Kettering - Matlock), I've a feeling this is an RHTT working but not sure if it's an MPV or loco & wagons... I Have seen MPV's on RHTT workings through Derby in previous years as to why I'm enquiring. Thankyou

3J81 is indeed a loco hauled RHTT diagram which has recently been hauled by 66154 + 66186.

HTH. Cheers
