They didn't use an intact miniature for that shuttle, besides, the rear of this one is like a regular Type-7, the one from Skin of Evil had a strange inset. It certainly looks like they were going to use the model for shooting, but it could be some kind of test. They were using all the different mounts, maybe to see which ones worked well?
Oh yeah, I've remembered another shuttle. There was a Type-7 in the episode when Geordi's transformed into an alien(can't remember the name) that had been stolen from a Starbase. I don't think it had a name, but the registry is probably SB-[starbase number].

The Copernicus appears to be one of those early Probert study models that had "wraparound" side windows instead of side doors. It lacks almost all the familiar greeblies, save for the beacon atop the rear part. "The Continuing Mission" has a pic of somebody manhandling this model (sans the "Copernicus" markings), IIRC. And the marking style is the original one from the various Probert drawings and paintings, with the full "NCC-1701-D" on the side instead of just "1701-D".
I doubt this model was ever used for episode photography, but it could have served as a stand-in for setting up effects shots. The way those side walls have been opened looks rather terminally destructive to me...

Could someone please post a screenshot of the Shuttle 'Heinlein'?

OK,... there seems to be a little problem with the screenshot thing. If anyone has about 6MB he doesn't need we can upload the thing. And I think lcarscom.net does still host them. Found it. Go to "Special Features" on the main page, then "Generations: Uncut". It's number 18.

I have some screenshots I made from it using PowerDVD. I can upload them if you're having trouble getting captures from the DivX. Of course, the quality of them is pants.

This may not be a complete list, but it might be useful. It comes from my own personal FileMaker database which will be moved to MySQL on my website some time in the next century or so.
(The strings of numbers at the end of each line are episode ID numbers for the automatic relationships inside my database. I can export the episode names instead, if that'd help.) EDIT: The shuttle from the Geordi-turns-into-an-alien episode was the Type-15 shuttlepod Cousteau, assigned to the USS Aries (NCC-45167).

Not quite. The Galileo first appeared in "The Galileo Seven", and was destroyed. It then appeared again As Galileoin "Metamophosis", and finally in "The Immunity Syndome", where it was destroyed again. The Galileo II first appeared in "The Way To Eden".
What the hell was going on with the Sakharov? Was it just continuously renamed without being relabelled? If you're including that, then Shuttlepod 05 was called the Onizuka on one occasion, although I can't recall which.

The first Galileo also appeared in "The Doomsday Machine," in which the Nutcase of the Week, Commodore Decker, piloted it down the thing's maw and blew up.

Not the one on the planet surface, the shuttle I'm talking about is stolen by one of Geordi's former crewmates. I just checked the episode. Lt. Hickman posted on what sounded like Nelia IV was spotted in his shuttle by a Federation supply ship the day before. The Enterprise then detects his Type 7 shuttle on its way to Tarchanen and watches helplessly as he flies it into the atmosphere and is killed. I've got some screencaps of the shuttle before it explodes. Looks like the registry has a 7 at each end, but you probably won't be able to tell by the JPEGs.

Maybe 1701-D? I remember one of the early (1st or 2nd season) episodes where a guy from the E-D - who has not been accepted at the academy - steals a shuttle and accidentially flies it into the atmosphere of a planet. Picard manages to guide him out of the mess. Could have been a reused shot.

"The Ensigns of Command" was the episode where the Shuttlepod was relabeled from El-Baz to Onizuka, but the number was not changed from 05 to 09.

I just had a look at my screenshots from that episode and the angles are quite different, unless this was from unused footage.
