🚄 INFORMATION KEY
Train Numbers - e.g. 43032 or 800110 - These are train numbers which are specific to that train. No trains can be numbered the same. Locos are 5 digit numbers where the first two numbers are the class of train e.g. 67010 would be a class 67. Multiple Units are 6 digit numbers where the first three numbers are the class of train e.g. 390154 would be a class 390. Click Here to learn more
➤ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS#TO...
Headcodes - e.g. 1F32 or 5M00 - These are used by the railway signallers to determine where trains are on the network. Every train within a region has a specific four code ID. Click Here to learn more
➤ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_r...
Set Number - e.g. WB64 or NL04 - These are semi-permanent loco hauled coach formations which are kept together for formalities. The first two letters usually indicate the maintenance depot responsible e.g. OC is Old Oak Common, LA is Laira. The number indicates the rake number.

Impressive variety of trains here; I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Highlights for me are probably the Class 56 which did that run-around, as well as the Northern Belle ECS - that class 57 sounded pretty sweet powering up. That catch of the 47 next to the pair of 68s on the flask at the end there was quite something too! Stafford just seems absolutely mega for freight!

@StarlifeStudios Жыл бұрын

Absolutely 😃 I couldn’t believe my luck when the signaller put the 47 and 68s on adjacent lines and even more so when the 47 pulled up next to the 68! Stafford is always amazing. I have been here before but I have long believed that this station deserved a full day to capture all the variety, and, as always, I’m glad to provide 👍🏻

@@StarlifeStudios haha yes who would have thought it would be the duff with the best heater. I bet the 68 has the better AC though 😏 It's good to see the drivers doing that though. You tend to find the drivers on freight mainly know each other from their areas even if its different FOCs
