N Gauge Graham Farish 371-007 Class 08 Diesel Shunter British Rail Engineer Grey

08648 British Rail Engineers grey. Note: Track shown in video not included. Condition: Working and good condition.

Box and packaging a little worn and scuffed. The Class 08 is one of the most numerous BR locomotive classes, with close to 1000 being produced between 1952 and 1962 at Crewe, Darlington, Doncaster and elsewhere. The introduction of fixed wagon rakes and increase in the use of multiple units meant there was less need for shunters, so many were scrapped or sent overseas. More than 70 Class 08s have made it into preservation - making it one of the most numerous preserved locos in the UK!
