I remember seeing an 08 in a freight train on the GNGE Joint line near Saxilby when I was a kid. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually saw them in the early evening, going in both directions, presumably either going to or from "works". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were quite a regular sight in many areas in goods trains, but were usually marshalled close to the train locomotive. A lot of brand new shunters were moved around the country in steam hauled goods trains. I have seen them in steam videos of the ECML and the GC; but those are the area of interest for me. I'm sure it happened on other regions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add these stickers to the doors of your class 70! Personally I can't think of anything worse, the escapism of the hobby means you can forget the rubbish the real world throws around, but each to their own. I know some people have added social distance graphics to the windows of their model passenger trains Jo Absolutely spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
