6D43, the return tanks, generally runs through at 1732hrs, but this is different on certain days, especially at weekends. You will get a rush of freight from around 1630-1830 on a weekday. Otherwise, mornings are generally best. Where were you thinking of for photographs? :)

Off to store following the GBRf limestone trial

I've found the evening run the best 1708 ex-Waverley. I tend to buy my ticket in advance, 1708 ex-Waverley and 1811 ex-Glenrothes. The return ticket will show a change, but if you stay on the loco hauled it gets you back, just takes a little longer!

This week remains busy! Spent a day at KWVR yesterday for a private charter organised for a special occasion. A thoroughly enjoyable day in good company, some train as well ;) I started at York... 67027 route learning http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/6885295136/in/photostream...
