Belgian loco hauled

[Minilad]

Any Euro bashers out there know the current situation regarding loco hauled services. Particularly around the Brussels area. I am thinking of doing a day trip on Eurostar arriving around 11 and leaving around 1930. Hopefully will be able to get a fair few in the book in that time.
Any gen gratefully received

The only limitation seems to be that you can't search by locomotive, which you can on the Swiss equivalent, unless it isn't working correctly for me

Try this: http://www.beluxtrains.net/indexen.php?page=searchrollingstock

(searches by rolling stock, which seems to use the locomotive ie. class '18'.)

Tried the site again and it worked this time. Must have been an wierd temporary glitch.

Excellent stuff

That's a very good site yes - but pay attention to the accuracy star rating!

As far as Brussels goes, the North-South tunnel sees plenty of loco-hauled trains among others, largely modern 18s but also 21s and 27s, 28s (Bombardier TRAXX) on the hourly Amsterdam train and the odd 13 on a Luxembourg service. I'd definitely recommend going on a weekday though, as in the peaks the locos are literally one behind the other - particularly the older (and more interesting if you ask me!) 21s and 27s.
