Manufacturer description

No. 08570’s main duty in service was shunting motorail vans and sleeper portions at Edinburgh Waverly. It was painted in an Intercity Swallow livery. 08570 was withdrawn from service on 18th January 1992 and then stored at Motherwell. On 7th and 8th September 1993, the shunter was cut up by M.C. Metal Processing staff on-site at Motherwell.

Class 08 shunters are common, but our model of No. 08570 is a one-of-a-kind model. Liveried in a BR Intercity Swallow with intricate detail, this model is DCC-ready and compatible with our HM7000 8-Pin decoder.
