Probably not been electric hauled since DB stopped using their 92s away from the tunnel/HS1 as it runs through Third Rail land.

Silly question I know, I just wondering how people on here find headcode for trains where the headcode on real times trains doesn’t exist or has been scrambled. And if so how would I get access to this. I feel I am annoying everyone by constantly asking. But obviously I want the correct info for my pictures and videos for YouTube.

There are various ways and means, but I am obviously going to strongly recommend
subscribing to Freightmaster Online, especially as I am currently offering a trial
subscription for just £3
for access through to the end of September! :D

Absolutely! If you didn't, I wouldn't have almost 700 paying subscribers!! :)


As well as headcodes, mine are the only timetables, paid for or otherwise,
which show:

- type of train

- FOC (with the ability to highlight by colour at the press of a button)

- usual motive power

- usual (as opposed to booked) running days, etc.

- trains at more than one location (e.g. Willesden High and low level)
in the same timetable.

They are also the only timetables which show diesel hauled passenger
trains in the same listing as freight services (unlike RTT which doesn't
show which Chiltern services are loco hauled in the first place).


In addition to the timetables, there are also loads more exclusive features,
including a forum and over 100 Realtime maps which show unscrambled headcodes.


I'm the first to accept that many enthusiasts don't need/want the quantity
and quality of information that FMonline provides, but for those that do,
I urge you to try it out for £3, and if it isn't as good as you were expecting
you can cancel your trial and I will happily refund the £3! :D

Apologies if this is off topic, but I'd highly recommend this, I probably only use a small percentage of what's Available to me, but it's well worth it

If just headcodes, freightlocate.co.uk is £25 a year for a better version of RTT, which is arguably not worth it.

However, if you'd like something more engaging and interactive I'd have to recommend railcam.co.uk which requires a donation of £15, or more (!), that allows you access to diagrams, webcams, sightings, headcodes, as well as dedicated TOPS input of locos - if this is your only concern. This site goes well beyond that, however, as subscribers can add their own eyeballing of DMUs, OTP, locos, and so on....and our subscriptions go to improving the site as it's run by volunteers.

Hi all!
Did anyone happen to know which powercar worked 1C89 (1703 Padd-Penzance) with 43177, and what 332 was paired with 332007 on the 25th?

Thanks very much in advance :)

Polegate to Hither Green P.A.D. Passing lee at 6:40 tomorrow. Anyone know headcode and loco?

Can't see one yet. Looks like a track machine though and I think they have specific headcodes depending on what the machine is.

Leaves Polegate at 04:00 if that helps others find it.
