Freight timing loads

[DaveHarries]

Hi all,

I once came across a site that gave info on, among other things, how to read the timing load codes for freight trains.

I am trying to add 4E32 into a SimSig TT (12:05 Dollands MS - Scunthorpe RS) which carries the timing load code of 75-92S08. What would this train comprise of, just so I can work out length using a calculator spreadsheet I have for the purpose.

Cheers,
Dave

Single headed class 92, weight 800 tonnes. So probably an empty load.

YouTube is useful for this kind of thing:

You can't work out length from a timing load, there is no way of showing it.

The indexes for the Working Timetable are on the NR website and include an explanation of what the timing loads mean.
