Is there a way I can find out Headcodes of certain trains? I see a lot of people upload videos of trains and freight trains and they put headcodes in the descriptions. I wonder how I can get these?

Sorry, but I don't think you read the OP's question correctly as neither
of those sites feature freight headcodes (apart from GBRf services,
which are not scrambled on the data feeds).

For the other FOCs (DB, Freightliner, Colas, DRS, etc) I recommend that
you try subscribing to Freightmaster, which is the only website to show
real freight headcodes both in its timetables and national live maps...

(my maps also show 'real' headcodes for one off moves such as
track machines, stock moves, weekend engineering trains, etc)

These do of course show passenger train Head codes but as Mark has pointed out his site is the only one showing all freight Head codes (and timings) and is where I get my info.

And GBRF headcodes. They likes theirs to be unscrambled...
