    I'm making a list of all the preserved railways (major narrow gauge plus standard) that publish loco rosters online in some form as work commitments mean I'll be pretty much limited to irregular weekday trips out in 2010 so I'd like to have a bit of an idea of which locos will be out (subject to availability of course!) so I can track down particular favourites when they're running.

    Here's my list so far:

    Bluebell
    Bodmin
    Didcot
    * East Lancs (I know diesels are listed on the Bury Diesels site, can the steam turns be found anywhere?)
    Ffestiniog
    Glous Warcs
    Great Central (via yahoo group)
    Kirklees
    Lavender
    Llangollen
    Lynton & Barnstaple
    Nene Valley
    North Norfolk
    North Yorks Moors
    Peak (in so far as it's WD150 unless diesel or 8F is advertised)
    Romney (via blog)
    Severn Valley (via forum)
    South Devon
    Talyllyn
    Welsh Highland (C)

    Does anyone know of any other railways that make their loco rosters available online on their sites or via forums etc? I've got no problem with railways that feel they can't publish the info or people who prefer not to know in advance, it's just personal preference that I like to know what to expect so any help tracking down more rosters would be much appreciated.

    Can't believe I forgot wsr.org.uk! That site has been essential over the years. Didn't know Swanage listed locos, so that one's very handy, thanks.
