The website at http://aa2888.net/ looks a bit dodgy to me from visiting that exact address. It is registered to a domains by proxy company in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Hunslet 2890 has led an exciting life: first as an austerity locomotive in WWII, then owned by the Coal Board, private owners and railway lines, before modification to become No 10 'Douglas', "one of the friends of a famous blue engine".

Thought I ought to revive this section of the forum, as it's not had many posts recently, and so I will tell you that the ETA 2892 is an automatic winding 21 jewel-movement for use in watchmaking.

2894 is a novel written in 1894 by Walter Browne, describing a society of "dominant women and submissive men". Sounds pretty radical for its time!

Re: Counting
I'm not sure whether 2895 or 2896 should be in this post, so shall I cleverly attempt to cover both bases?
Here's a letter which does just that. It's a Freedom of Information request. Or is it two?
Whatever, the request references on the letter are FOI-2895 and FOI-2896.

51841/2898 is an uncannily close approximation to the square root of 320. Put it in a calculator if you don't believe me.
