Locomotive History
08682 was built at Horwich as D3849 and entered traffic in August 1959 initially allocated to Trafford Park MPD. However its stay was short as six weeks later it was dispatched south, transferred to Camden, North London. In January 1966 it transferred to nearby Willesden when Camden closed and remained at Willesden for the next sixteen years until transferred to Toton in July 1982. In July 1984 it was nine months overdue classified repair (its last repair being in September 1975 at Derby Works) and was placed in store. It remained in store for five months until re-instated in December 1984 following classified repair and fitment of dual train brakes and transferred to Doncaster. In March 1994 it became the Doncaster Works pilot and remained on this duty until the works closed and in early 2008 and it moved to Litchurch Lane.
