Thanks everybody for the replies and detail on Coach and Loco lengths,

Regrading train lengths I have done a bit more research and the basic summer daytime WCML passenger service to Euston in 1974 required 60 sets of coaching stock to provide the timetable Monday to Thursday. If you exclude the Manchester Pullman/Northampton Peak hour/Glasgow summer dated and the 0010 service to Wolverhampton which were all 8/9 coach, the remaining trains were all 11/12 coach except 4 of the 11 sets used on the Euston-Birmingham/Wolves route which were 13 coach.

I think the best solution is to use a standard Loco/Coach length of 18m and multiples therof in my timetable which will ensure that a 12 coach train+Loco(234m) will be able to use the Downside shed (240m) and 13 coach trains (252m) used on Euston-Birmingham/Wolves trains can use Plateforms 5/6 (270m) without the need for re-platforming.

Regards

Dave
