Don't worry James, we have about 20 links for it. Lol

 

Isn't Olton Hall doing the Wizard express on the 12th July?

 

Yes but it is also appearing at Tyseley's open day this weekend.

 

5Z72 5972 Olton Hall at Small Heath:

 

Tornado's move to Swanage tomorrow according to UKS is via' Winchester, whereas according to RTT it's via Andover & Romsey, which is right?

I'd check RTT tomorrow.

 

Looks like Tornado is using the triangle at Salisbury to reverse into Swanage.

 

Looking at the timings it will run round at Salisbury and depart tender first via Chandlers Ford. The other clue that 60163 is running tender first is the slow timings and number of pathing stops.
( Remember that RTT adds estimated timings for locations with are conditional timings points or only timing points for trains calling at that location. Laverstock North and South Jns are only quoted in TPS/TSDB schedules for trains using Laverstock Curve.)

I have been stood at a station waiting for a train that appears on RTT, only to find its been rerouted round me on another route!

 

This movement has been rerouted and retimed. Now updated at uksteam.info

Note that a DCR loco is booked to accompany Tornado.
Thanks to 'Basingstoker'. <BJ>

''DCR Loco + 60163 "Tornado" + Support coach to work
5Z63 09:16 Crewe Heritage Centre to Swanage. 7/7/2014''.

 

Note from RTT that the trailing load is shown as 715 tonnes. Is there also more ECS or is that just a typo or the max permissible load?

Also seems to be reversing at Salisbury so will Tornado be leading the rake from there?

 

From WNXX forum: RTT displays the tonnage which is the *maximum* allowed for the route not the actual weight of the train.

I would hardly describe the support coach and a tank of oil "a rake"
