The 08 shunter is a strong shunter the power to weight helps them move 2000 tonne ballast trains with ease .

@@keynsham-trains Not a lot of horsepower but they have double reduction gearing from traction motor that is why their speed is so limited , traction motors will disintegrate above about 30 mph

I do now though , I think the 08 is still around the company was sold into another company its called Rail Management Services , started by John Hummel , he then sold it sadly John's not with us anymore I miss him 😢 ,oh its was an eye opener !!! We filled bichumen rail cars , the sheer weight n smells was fantastic to witness @Shell haven on the river Thames we worked , I drove the sentinel too I live that word !!! I love the sound of an 08
