A quick glance at Trainlogger shows 08993 last being sighted at Stoke Marcroft in February, 08994 at Toton in August and 08995 at Crewe Electric, also in August, with a note that it's been sold to the Shillingstone railway project. There are no recorded sightings for 08991 or 08992.

08991 and 08992 were both vacuum brake only and we're withdrawn when the need for air brakes on the line (I am not going to try and spell it ) came in, I think they provided the cut down body panels for 08994 an 08995, 08993 was already fitted with air brakes before conversion.

08993 is now at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, and 08995 has moved to Wishaw for attention prior to heading for its new home at Shillingstone.

Congratulations on the spelling - apart from "rooves"

This is what happened when they sent a standard 08 along that line once...

An italic 08!

Must've been novel for the railway to be responsible for a bridge strike for a change!

I think the OED still lists rooves as an acceptable plural of roof although roofs is now the common form. Interestingly, where I am (oop North), when spoken, most people would say rooves but when written it's normally roofs.

If memory serves it was sent down the branch to rescue a demic low roofer.
