Ref the Allocation History as compiled on behalf of Heritage Shunters Trust, 460 was allocated to Old Oak 12/91 until a transfer to SF 6/96, and then found itself back at OC but stored 9/97 for about a year.

Did a bit of Shunter hunting today (and thanks to @cockneyviking ) for the steer regarding Wembley.
08611, 08696 and 09007 / D3671 are all quite easily found at Wembley on the line between Stonebridge Park and Wembley Central although 09007 does look rather forlorn.
08683 and 08511 were situated at Eastleigh Yard and visible from a passing train or the station platform.
08810 was at Eastleigh Depot although not easy to see hidden behind 701035 but can be spied from the alleyway that runs adjacent to Campbell Road. I understand that 08735 is also at Eastleigh Depot but with the 701 blocking the view I was unable to see it on this occasion.
08567 was present at Eastleigh Works and could also be seen from Campbell Road, with 2991 / 07007. It really does look very good in its green livery but unfortunately I am prevented from sharing the photos.
01508 was also at Eastleigh Works but not visible from a public viewpoint.
Apologies for the lack of quality to the two photos, one was taken with an iPhone from distance and the other through the window of a grubby 378.

I’m planning to visit Crewe and Liverpool next Saturday so if anyone knows the precise whereabouts of 08834 which is stabled at Allerton, together with 08868 and 09204 at Crewe LNWR, it would be greatly appreciated.

Back to Wishaw most likely, had been replaced at Hams Hall.

I remember 08899 being based at Derby Etches Park for what seemed like, forever.. Then it went to work at Whitemoor? (March)

Yes, it’s mentioned up thread I believe
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
It was heading East on the M18 between Doncaster and Thorne so I would be surprised if it was heading to Wishaw!
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
It was at Etches Park back in March of this year, that’s when I last saw it.

Does anyone know if there is a good vantage point to see the Shunters at Shotton please?
I paid a visit today and drove down to the Tata Steel main entrance and Wilsons Auctions but couldn’t see anywhere suitable.

08700 was between Liverpool and Runcorn with a ford vehicle train on Saturday, I haven't seen it mentioned here yet.
Wikipedia lists it as preserved with the East Lancashire Railway but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Very low quality (video of stationary objects at 90mph isn't very good), but I spotted what I confirmed by sight to be 08454, and based on context what appears to be 08721 when passing Alstom's site in Widnes.

The Combined Volume has 08 700 as being part of the Harry Needle fleet, which fits with your sighting as theirs can turn up anywhere in the country.

Not sure when it moved but I understand that 08472 has moved from Reids Freight Yard in Stoke to the Chasewater Railway.

08472 arrived at Chasewater on 2nd Aug. 08700 arrived at Garston on 9th July.
I'd suggest anyone wanting current shunter news and locations look at ShunterSpot The locations are updated on a rolling basis.

Less shunter news these days since DB dispensed with theirs but news and moves are reported as they happen and the location lists are maintained.

Just intrigued by the one at Silverstone; if it's where the motor-racing circuit is, it's a fair way from any railway track...

A company called Meteor Power there acquired two shunters. One was being converted to a hybrid and the other, as is, to provide comparison data. You can see the business if you enter 08649+Silverstone into a search engine

They're under the Shunter Allocations section, second main section of the forum if you scroll down.

Seems to be a few inaccuracies?
08375 is at Boston for example, or 08615 at Shotton?

They're in the industrial classes > Class 08 section.
