simon br blue Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Lovely shot, that's how I remember 08s... Interesting to see a green air brake only conversion; when did these start? Bill Looking at the photo the pipe looks to be a vac pipe making it vacuum only. Still a good photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytrains Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Not really an 08, but one of its parents:- It makes you wonder why they did not make them Class 12 rather than Class 11. I do not think any carried the Class 11 number, (or prove me wrong). And why the 'D'? Is it not obvious. Sorry about the quality. Taken on a Kodak 126 camera.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted March 15, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2016 From the latest image on the Hornby website, the soon to arrive model of 08489 in BR Blue looks like it will have a dark grey cab roof. Looking through the photos on this thread there are clearly some locos with blue cab roofs but others that were painted dark grey or black ex-works. So I was wondering whether - for the 70s/80s period - the dark grey roof was a trait of a particular BR works and/or whether it was an official livery. Was it linked to whether the buffer beam was painted yellow or black, perhaps? I'm curious because I can't say I ever noticed this feature in my youth as 08s were usually so covered in oil and grime.

Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Last time I was working at Speke in Liverpool, Harry Needle Rail Company 08924 was shunting the wagons around in the yard. Today there was a different 08 shunter which was 08502 surrounded by new Ford transits and Ford Rangers. In the sidings was 92043 which I imagine was there ready to take the train back to Dagenham. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

46256 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 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. brilliant photo remember travelling past this on a local....had a colleague in the old bill who decided one night the only way for a police allegro to travel down Mucklow Hil Halesowen was on its roof.......

andytrains Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Allegros. Awful things, underpowered, would only do 85 flat out with the blues on, (didn't have two's), square steering wheel and the front suspension collapsed if you took a corner too fast. And the blue light un-screwed by turning it a quarter of a turn, so guess what kept getting nicked off them by the local scrouts when you was away from your panda. Happy days!!!!!!!
