398023 is the set number, 999073 is one of the car numbers in that formation see here- https://spotlog.org/locolist/class/UK/398

99012 and 99009 have been attended to at the Craigentinny wheel lathe and are currently sitting outside next to the main line. First of the class to need lathing? There is a return path on Tuesday to Inverness https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R65079/2026-10-13/detailed

It has an ETH jumper so it is a 31/4, probably 31463...

New path in for tomorrow as 0S95 then 0S97 to Inverness https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R62331/2026-09-23/detailed

It’s an ongoing preservation venture, here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gvrail/ There are some items that I believe are not yet on site but owned by the group, including 03119, 03141 and LEV3 R3 RDB977020 railbus ex Ireland

Allocations have appeared for 0Z98 this morning, 99009 and 99008 as expected. 1789726454 6Z98 to Inverness is 99009 leading 99008 double headed on 5 RHTT wagons (if I counted correctly!).

There’s an 0Z98 from Mossend- Millerhill tomorrow https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:16965/2026-09-18/detailed Then 6Z98 to Inverness, possible RHTT wagon move? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:17224/2026-09-18/detailed

Ok, thanks for considering this.

I was wondering if there was any way of filtering the background Apple map on an iPhone? A filter option showing only the railway lines and place names would provide a better focus. Another would be a highlight of the railway lines to make them stand out more? Thanks for any advice.

There’s a half hour stop at Doncaster Down Decoy so maybe dropping one off here? Will find out soon after.

Took a while for the allocations to appear on RTT, showing as a pair, 99008 and 99009.

Both 50s led back from Joppa to Waverley so were at the wrong end of the train. Cue lots of shunting shenanigans, a 50 and 57 on the front and the other 50 on the rear!
