You could probably pick up a class 769 in green for a pittance. Then there's the hours of fun trying to start it...

DB at one time advertised a number of Class 08 shunters for sale. The buyer to arrange and pay for removal.

Harry Needle is advertising 3 of them now for preservation buyers only

If you 'get a loco' I very much doubt you'll find much living space inside the engine room or cab.

Unless you’re the bloke who now owns/operates the one-off ”219” diesel in north-west Germany!

Boiler room on the Non ETS or pre 556 ETS 47s would proberbly fit a bed up by the field switch contractors
