As there are preserved examples in that list, some others from around my area:

North Norfolk has 08s D3940 and D3935 plus cl. 11 12131 (a predecessor of the 08 which was BR built but of LMS design).

Epping & Ongar has 08 114 (on loan).

Great Central has 08s 13101 & D4137 plus cl. 10 D4067 (a version of an 08 built with different engine and electrics)

Chinnor have D3018(08011) which is currently awaiting some work and 08825 which is a regular on works trains. We had 08629 for a while during Covid time but I believe it left us for Leicester Yard?

I love that so many of these beasts are still In service. It always puts a smile on my face when I see one in a yard.

The above list has been updated to reflect that 762 is at Ilford with 588, both visible yesterday from a passing train.

There’s an 09 at the NRM I’m pretty sure?

Does anyone know where the Teesport shunters (08613, 08788 and 08847) are actually situated?

I’ve tried finding photos of them online to no avail.

That’s good to know.

Last time I went we drove down Dabholm Road then on to Boulby Road and saw lots of wagons but nothing more.

Thanks for the info.

If preserved shunters are included then there are a great many more left in existence but you wouldn't class them as 'in service' as they have been withdrawn from capital stock.

Spent Sunday evening and Monday in South Wales chasing the Shunter residents there.

Was fortunate to see 08795 at Landore first on Sunday evening.

Monday morning I passed Cardiff Pullman on a Bridgend to Cardiff Central service and witnessed 08499 looking resplendent in blue.

Finally on Monday evening I drove out to Tidal Sidings and was surprised to find four shunters present:

08389 (which sounded like it was ticking over despite looking far from rail worthy)
HN Rail 6 - otherwise known as 09106
Celsa 3 - otherwise known as 08630
HN Rail 2 - otherwise known as 08924

I thought I’d add this detail as it’s not all that easy to find online.

Some pics below for completeness.827da576-6a0c-4a9a-9060-4876ee32d9ae.jpegIMG_6581.jpegIMG_6578.jpeg

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

My next trip will be to see some of the London residents namely:

Temple Mills: 08948
Wembley: 08611 & 08696

If anyone has any info as to precisely where they are located it will be greatly appreciated.

Impressive image of the 08 at Landore, I assume you had permission or someone take the image?

We used to see them brand new from Horwich on Lostock Hall shed in the late 1950's. They would have less than 20 miles on the clock.

948 is usually parked up in the fuel road which is pretty much next to Orient Way.

Another heritage line example that I can't see mentioned above: 09019 (D4107) on the West Somerset. Usually based at Bishop's Lydeard and used for shunting stock, including moving visiting locos on or off road transport.

Did send a PM but dont know if you received it. As of Wednesday 08611 and 08696 plus 09007 were all in Alstom yard, that's the one on the right if traveling on Overground between Stonebridge Park and Wembley Central
