RMweb Premium Pannier Tank Posted January 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2013 Was that newly painted black in 1980? It does look black but if you look at the Boxes on the running plate you can see a hint of blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryMeerkat Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Would anyone happen to have any pictures of the 08 that was scrapped at Allerton T&RSMD in Liverpool? It spent years on the scrap line and eventually got shunted through the buffers. Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryMeerkat Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 http://www.flickr.com/photos/kerryp28/7577029876/ (not my pic) That's the one, thanks. Was debating a nice little cameo with a cheap Lima 08 suitably 'broken'. Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted January 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2013 Can anyone tell me how many 08's there are left opperational now? Wasn't it like 800 or so at one time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivercider Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It does look black but if you look at the Boxes on the running plate you can see a hint of blue. Sorry about my misunderstanding here, 08658 was standard rail blue, my photography and scanning have rendered it a bit dark. I took the reference to black to be about the buffer beam area, I looked through my other pictures from that time and they were mostly yellow, so, I thought it was quite unusual. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a discussion on shunters nowadays on the forum here, including (my) estimates of how many - somewhere between 100-200 depending on exactly what you're counting.

Regards Mike Thanks Mike. That was the one. Stacker had quite a reputation in the Birmingham area. He went ballistic on the day Saltley coal stage was demolished. Before the dust had properly settled one of the other drivers had chalked "Stacker Strikes Again" on the debris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Mike Remember this well, we used to stand near the bottom of this bank to watch the steam locos at Stewarts and Lloyds still working at this time, and there was also a line up of, I think three, Teady Bears in the sidings on the opposite side of the main line to the 'Rack and Pinnion' 08!

milkman matt Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Here's an Antipodean take on the 08. We imported them to Victoria, painted them blue and gold and called them F class. Sorry about the poor photo but the preservation center was closed and I took the photo through the gate. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
