If you want any excuses for a freight train, aggregates to Angerstein Wharf would go through Woolwich, although most N Kent freight ended up going via Sidcup/Lewisham/Nunhead.

With regard to diesel locomotives used for stock movements of Networker stock, they would most likely be Old Oak Common based Class 47's.  But during this period the OOC fleet was in a state of transition with Class 50's being phased out of service, and OOC receiving former Stratford Class 47/4's and ex-Scottish Class 47/7's.  This link shows a couple of such views: http://www.semgonline.com/gallery/transvehs.html

eastwestdivide's suggestion for freight is an interesting one, as the Angerstein Wharf as these would be double-headed by Class 33's: http://anthonykay.smugmug.com/TrainsClassbyClass/Class-33/17212420_5Xng99/1485436810_kS8j4rz#!i=1485436810&k=kS8j4rz

During the period in question departmental stock for use as De-Icer and Sandtite workings would commonly be ex 4-Sub motor vehicles: http://www.kentrail.org.uk/margate_gala.htm

That's certainly one possible freight traffice, as well as engineers traffic I could get away with. Of course engineering work diversions could also be an 'excuse'. But reaslistically it's really only planned to be a passenger stock type feel, but with occasional interesting items (De-Icer, Sandite, Snow Blower, etc).

For that harsh winter you'll need a 56 to haul some emus as happened in dire circumstances?

Another loco type to add to the list

The numbers of class 47s produced feels a bit of a minefield lol, I know practically nothing of them, will have to find some books on the subject to learn more, but you've given me a starting point of 47/4s and 47/7s at least.

I was going to order the Rail Exclusive Class 33 for such a purpose (amongst others).

Thanks for the info on the De-Icer and Sandite workings.
