With the demise of Advance, it seems appropriate to try to put together a complete list of what trains were produced. This is the latest version of my attempt. I'd be grateful for any corrections or additions. I've focused exclusively on the trains, whether they were issued individually or part of sets. I haven't tried to cover sets as such or any other things in the Advance range.
Product numbers are those that appear on the box. Where more than one product has been issued with that number I've followed the BPT precedent and added the suffix N or NN ... to the later issues. This does not appear on the box.
Info in the asterisked items is what I've been able to confirm from my own collection. Main sources for the rest:
