RMweb Gold 4630 Posted May 10, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Always good to see an 08 still in service and operating these days. Railway Support Services 08511 keeping itself busy around Eastleigh on 3rd May 2022. Built at Darlington Works, it was new into service as D3673 on 21st May 1958.

Not that unusual, seen shunters do that quite often, although more often than not it would just have been thrown on the hook. What is unusual though is the bow shackle attached to the end of it, I assume they've been using the pilot to pull a cable somewhere. - Maybe a bit of cable shunting!

Could the windlass bollard type things in this shot be anything to do with it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there will be 2 bolt size holes in cab end! Done some pole shunting once didn't end well with match sticks been made! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I am modelling a couple of BR Blue 08's in O gauge and I am interested in the spare instanter coupling that I have seen in many pictures thrown over the coupling hook. What was the reason for this and when would it be used? As far as I am aware 08's had a screw link coupling fitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without a pole an instanter is much easier to throw on and off by hand. Lighter and no need to fart about winding it in. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
