On Classic and Highland tours, the Observation car is at the front of the train (behind the loco) on departure from Edinburgh. On Western Tours, the locomotive runs round its train then departs Edinburgh from the East end, with the Observation car at the rear.
For the 2014 season Class 47 locomotives have not be permitted on the Kyle Line, therefore the Classic Tours have been hauled by Class 37s, usually double headed. However, double heading is not permitted over the Tay Bridge (on day 5, 1H84), so on Day 4 one of the locos is detached at Perth, whilst 1H82 continues to Dundee with the other loco. The loco detached at Perth usually runs as light as 0Z37 Perth - Craigentinny (via Stirling) on the same day.
On the Western Tour a second loco (often a class 37) is attached at Fort William after arrival from Spean Bridge. This second loco then leads to Mallaig with the first loco on the rear of the train (top and tail). After returning to Fort William, the train runs empty to Fort William Junction Yard, the locomotives swap ends, and the first loco is on the front for the departure to Bridge of Orchy. The second loco leads the final leg of the tour from Wemyss Bay to Edinburgh.
The second loco runs from Craigentinny to Fort William light engine as 0H84 on the Thursday before the tour or on the Friday.
