The Class 08s, the most common type of British Rail shunter, could be found at almost every area of the UK and Scotland from the mid-1950s. These shunters carried out all the shunting and movements around stations and yards all over Scotland, with most depots around Scotland carrying an allocation. A number have survived into preservation, but at one time more than 200 could be found all over Scotland. This book covers 08s from the BR era through privatisation and beyond, and features a range of different locations around Scotland.With a wealthy of previously unpublished images, this book will delight Scottish rail enthusiasts both young and old.
