The Class 08 diesel shunting locomotive, as photographed March 2012. Purchased when the line was in need of a cheap diesel shunting engine, this locomotive proved itself as a capable, if somehwat lesser-quality locomotive. With the overall looks of the typical Class 08 diesel typified here, this engine has modifications from the standard Class 08 diesel, including inside frames and a revised mechanism that gives it a much higher top speed.
The side profile of the locomotive, where the typical shape of the engine is captured well here. Externally, though it is a modified form it is still very much a Class 08 - able to handle trucks with ease and do simple arranging work in the yards in a quick and efficient manner.
The front of the locomotive features some simple details marked out, and while there are no real external detail bits on this locomotive everything is still represented well here.
The cab of the diesel features some details like the labelling on the sides and the handrails to the cab picked out in white, but overall this is a simplified locomotive with decent looks from a distance.
The rear of the locomotive features a decent level of detail in regards to its wasp stripes on the cab and its rivet detail throughout - in some ways, this locomotive has lower detail, but in others it's got a decent amount still for what it is.
The front of the locomotive. Overall a small, sprightly diesel shunter that can be obtained cheaply and with ease, if looking for a diesel shunter on a budget.
