Putting together a layout set me to wondering............

Peco appear to be issuing a number of 'special edition' items and I wondered if anyone has a definitive list (apart from asking Peco of course!) I am aware of the following:

GR-290 & 291 - the initial L&B / SR Releases
GR-202, GR-232FR & GR-420FR for the Ffestiniog Railway
GR-400FD, GR-500FD, GR-520FD & GR-530FD for Fourdees
GR-201IMR for Invicta Model Railways
GR-520RW - The Royal wedding Special

So 11 that I know of, but are there any more?

I see "GR-520RW - The Royal wedding Special" is still on sale in Welsh narrow gauge railway shops.  I am wondering if it will sell out and gain value.  I would never run it on my (upcoming) layout but I am not adverse to profiteering.  As I was not adverse to having a day off when William and Kate got married.
