A recent issue of Todays Railways (May issue, page 19) had an articlet on some new big kit on order for NR.
A new ballast cleaner - BC55.
Comprises:-
RM900 HOBC,
Ballast power wagon,
Spoil power wagon,
a Consolidation Machine,
44 MFS conveyor ballast wagons,
Supplementary:-
Two 09-3Z track stabiliser machines,
One 09-2X track stabiliser machine, 3rd rail compatible,
One USP5000 regulator,
One 3rd-rail ballast regulator machine.
Will be able to operate on 3rd-rail lines with the juice rail in place.
(sorry if we've covered this previously).

It will be interesting to see what numbers the MFS wagons will get - if they follow on from the current highest, 92476, that'll take them up to 92520 (and into old Jarvis slinger number range!). I imagine they'll just have euro numbers though.
I think the 3rd rail regulator is a USP6000

The USP 6000 RT is well underway and alot of components are now manufactured over in Robel GmbH, Freilassing. The 2X will be an amazing asset for the UK Infrastructure and a real benefit behind the ballast cleaning systems.
A great year I say!

It is hoped that all vehicles will have a DR number in addition to the Euro numbers. The first MFS will be delivered around October, but the OTM's will be mid 2016 delivery.

Ok, so...
The 36x MFS-D will take consecutive numbers from the System 4 MFS wagons, and the 8x MFS-SB will have a separate batch of numbers rather than being mixed in with the D's
The 3 tampers will be 73119-121
And the 2 regulators will be 77909 and 77910.
