I now have these in total. Production ended late 1941, so these were all 1942 MODELS but built in Fall 1941:


2842001130 ENGINE # MR3,765,943 BODY SERIAL # 155!
2842001139 ENGINE # MR3,766,036 BODY SERIAL # 146
2842001192 ENGINE # WR3,765,985
2842001330 ENGINE # WR3,766,091
2842001378
2842001395
2842001422
2842001427
2842001497

Note chassis 1139 has body 155, whereas the chassis about 30 minutes later down the line had body 146! I now need to check whether 1192 and 1330 actually had 'MR' engine ' prefixes and not 'WR'..I do wonder if MR was a mis-stamp for 'WR' which was appropriate and used on the heavier chassis. I have no other evidence of any 'MR'-prefixed engines.
