This book contains a series of colour photographs illustrating the once-ubiquitous Class 08 and 09 diesel shunting locomotives.

From their origins in the bustling railway workshops of Derby, Doncaster, Darlington, Horwich, and Crewe, to their enduring presence on today’s mainlines and heritage railways, this book delves into the fascinating history of these iconic locomotives.

Explore the technical evolution and the pivotal role these engines played post-nationalisation, equipped with the powerful English Electric 6K diesel engine. Learn about the special adaptations, including the higher-speed Class 09 variant designed for the Southern Region’s freight trips, and the unique Class 13 units tailored for the Tinsley hump yard.

Shunter Memories uses archive colour photographs and extensive captions to trace the history and use of these locomotives throughout their working lives. Hardback. 80 pages.
