Reply to "estimate number of Euro GTS-es"

I just want to mention that my understanding of production numbers constantly changes with new information. Whereas Chuck keeps the registry up to date, a forum post by me dated 02/01/06 is not up to date. It does not represent my current understanding of the topic. I can't keep track of every post I've made, and I can't edit every post as new information is made available, in fact I roll my eyes when somebody quotes a 10 year old post of mine.

We are all working to be as accurate as possible, but the information before us is constantly changing. I do check Chuck's registry from time to time to confirm certain data which I know is critical to production numbers. I update my personal data based upon the data Chuck and others like Peter Havlik have collected. That personal data shall effect any future posts I make on the topic ... but not previous posts.

On the GTS issue, its not too difficult to determine how many GTS were manufactured amongst the 9000 series cars (coaches manufactured by Maggiora & Embo), but it is very difficult to determine amongst the Ford era cars (Vignale coaches).

I hope that makes sense to everyone.
