So would this all just be slotted in at convenient times, using whatever engine was available and suitable at the time?

That is one of the problems I'm having. And Google being a pain like "oh look a train, let's find other images of trains... Here is one from Birmingham, and one from Scotland. Those along with these from Kent should be fine. Let's recommend those...". And it's a pain....

OK, but would that information be available? or is it just guess work from the working timetable?

Ok. So if i have a service in the timetable (which hasn't got the Loco info) would it make a difference what loco i put on it, so long as it seems suitable? (I.E. a King or Castle wouldn't do a branch train, just as a 45XX tank wouldn't do an express). So a branch stopping train could have a...

I will do. Thanks

Cool i will look into that. Have tried googling pictures, But it isn't the best help.

I am doing stuff on train simulator, and want it to be accurate.

That is the same one that I have. I must have missed that train. Would others have been put on if they were needed, I.E. if a shipment had arrived at Kingswear?

Ok thanks. I guess there is no way of knowing what the loco would have been then?

Please define a "control Special". Thanks.

Ok. I guess the question in a nutshell is would freight often be added to the working timetable on a week by week basis? Or is the timetable like law?

So for example there was a 07:00 Newton Abbot to Goodrington Sands class B passenger train. What would have been the loco, and would a similar loco have hauled it every day or could it have changed (so a hall one day and a 45xx tank another)?

Is there a way of finding out the locos that would have been used?

I have a 1949 working timetable for the Exeter Division, and there is no freight to Kingswear. I know freight trains ran from there, as i have seen the photos. so why are they not in the timetable? Would they have been inserted at short notice between other services? or was there actually no...

In BR steam days, would a train always have been pulled by the same loco or type of loco? So for example, an express, Paddington to Penzance... Would it always have been a King? or would other locos have done it occasionally? (a castle or 2 manors for example?) this info is not available in...
