Preservation Sites

If you have loaded the UKP (UK Preservation) dataset, or some other datasets, SpotLog will also show the item "Preservation Sites" in the Book.

The item "UK Sites:  UK Preservation Sites" in the set list shows UK preservation sites.

Tap "UK Preservation Sites" to show the preservation site list:

By default, preservation sites are listed in alphabetical order.  If you have "Show recent preservations sites at top of list" set in Settings, then sites you have recently viewed will be at the top of the list (eg "Avon Valley", "Dean Forest", "Mid-Hants" etc at the top in the view above)

  • The number of those items marked as seen in your data
  • The list of locos/units/coaches etc, the list is grouped by the dataset they are in, eg "UKP: UK preserved" etc.  For each item, SpotLog shows:

    • The loco number, name and type
