Following the poor running performance of the Class 03 Diesel shunter at Sheffield Victoria, a decision was made to procure an additional Class 08. The Class 08 shunters have proven themselves to be versatile and reliable performers that possess sufficient adhesion to manage the yard duties of Banbury Connections' major stations.
The latest addition, D3232 in BR weathered plain green was acquired second hand for a favourable price and performed well after a brief period of running in. It is suspected that the locomotive had never operated before its arrival to Banbury Connections.
Below is a picture of the new Class 08 near the coaling stage at Sheffield Victoria station, its worn finish makes it fit instantly into the industrial city.
