    If you're intending to add all the detail to the timetable for the four days it'll take more than an hour.
    You'd better line 'em up. :) <BJ>

    Does it say which engine is on which set in the working timetable? Don't seem to be able to find it anywhere?!

    Yep, both are given above the time of each train departing KR/BH. The loco is in row "train loco" if there's one at the back it's in row "rear loco" and rake codes are in row "set". Each loco and set has its own code, loco codes are given near the back which is a pain, and coach rake codes have been provided upthread, or available on the svrwiki site.

    Just finished planning our weekend, am pretty happy with it. The timetable is still busy enough to do everything I want to, but there wasn't as much choice as I was expecting, so I didn't have too much choice in what trains I see if I want to do everything else I will.

    Just one more day of school then straight up to kiddy for 46100 on the front and 70000 on the back. :)

    The Brit reportedly had injector issues while the tender brakes on Taw Valley were dragging so we sat by Knowlesands for a bit whilst a crowbar and some oil were applied.

    I intend to be in exactly the same place (as close to the Scot as possible!). Hope you enjoy your gala Alex.

    Looking forward to two days steam haulage but before that I've got my first 68 to bag.

    Looking around at my fellow travellers in the first carriage I'm not the only one heading to Kiddie

    Judging by the smell of my fellow passengers, I'm not the only one heading to Kiddy either. Bloody hell man, have a wash!
