Format, years and the law

Format
9999, for example 8712 (9 any digit)

Same orange ground and same letter machinery as the agricultural classes, series pairs plus a spelled-out province. Nothing in the characters says "trailer"; the registration class carries that.

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Years issued
Documented since 2011; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Trailer: trailers and semi-trailers where separately serialized. Issued for trailer.
Colours
