Am I the only one on here , to hold 08 class shunters in high regard?  Used to be common as muck and often covered in muck, still a few kicking around on the mainline, and plenty at preservations.

Nope, you have an ally in me Reg. Plus the rarer 09's which were either lower geared or higher powered, can't remember.

There's an 08 still working in Didcot Network Rail/DB Schenker yard although it is in EWS livery.

Hmmm, but for some reason BR blue seems to suit most UK diesels?

I have always liked Choppers, class 20's as they look like overgrown 08's. Usually working in pairs as the visibility down the body is shite. Still lots around in the private operators, doing railtours and occasionally hired to NR. They definitely look best in blue

There's still loads of 08's in daily use, FGW have got at least three of their own, there's one down hinksy yard near Oxford and the one mentioned at Didcot.

Was on that train. Think it happened at Crewe station - I thought a bomb had gone off the noise it made
It was just before Crewe station yes and it was fucking loud, me and my mate were sat there when the train left but moved down to the next carriage to sit wth some more mates otherwise we would have been hurt. Crap game on the pitch too....I also remeber Burnley fans bricking the train on the bridges between Burnley and Blackburn so had the old bill on the train making sure we didn'y put our heads out of the windows until we were past Blackburn where the BTP got off.

I was an apprentice at BREL from 82 to 83 (before I decided to go work in computing as I didn't enjoy manual work) here is a pic of my group from the Apprentice Training School 82/83, me with hair!


Alan might recognise which one I am Cheesy

We learnt on the Warships D832 and 818 along with the Hymek 7029 while they were stored on the turntable.
