Morning all
Does anyone know where in Chssterfield RMS Locotec keep their shunters?
Trainlogger currently shows 3 of my remaining 08s there.
And can they be seen from publicly accessible roads etc.
Any help much appreciated!!

They have space within the Stagecoach bus garage, right at the very back which is fenced off Within covered shed.
Stonegravels Lane, but visitors not accepted and nothing can be seen from outside
Ten class 08 inside on short bits of track panel

You can actually see one or two of the shunters on Google Streetview.
If you go to the SE corner of the Stonegravels carpark and look through the open depot door on max magnification, in the gloom you can make out at least one. View is from a year ago.

Also if you got the north east corner of the site, you can see some wheel sets and engines that look like they have come off class 08s:

Prior to the new year the following noted on site -
( the space allows rows of 3 shunters)
In numerical order -
423 428 573 742 782786 874 885 936
The 10th has now left which was 08 787/296 as an 08e

Happy Hunting

But remember this is a commercial venture at a private site within an operational bus garage

Evening, the site is one the depots in my portfolio. It is a working bus depot and private property that absolutely cannot entertain casual visitors so to paraphrase a famous saying "Please don't ask the site as refusal often offends". There aren't any public viewing points for where the 08's live. The google streetview images are out of date and the outside area has since been redeveloped. Work is underway to install security gates on the approach road. The best way to view the 08's is to keep an eye on news of hires and view when on hire from public areas.

Meanwhile heres an image of the depot since redevelopment:
