thanks oracle for the photo that has helped ID it. you saw it from a better angle than I did.

Morning, also saw that last week whilst having a sandwich in LIDL car park, didn’t get the number but guess they called it that due to the very uneven track on the sidings as every 4-5 yards the “Gronk” rocks back & forth.

That's if it doesn't fall off, which it used to do quite often.

I've seen that shunter with the weird lighting combination.

What's that all about?

I might be wrong and have no idea what it would be needed for but I think it's something to do with it being remote controlled!

I seen 08933 coming off the M3 on the back of a low-loader the other week heading into Eastliegh, it to had all the lights on which i also believe is for the remote control working.
Been quite a while since 08933 was at Eastliegh.

Sounds about right with remote control.
