BR Class 08 0-6-0 diesel shunter No. 08778 sits in the dirt on the line into the Engineer's Depot at Gloucester on 28th June 1990. I knew the driver involved in the mishap very well and he had gone off to deliver his 'please explain' to his Foreman. Built at Derby Works in April 1960 as No. D3946, the loco had just received a re-paint by the staff at Horton Road Depot. The loco was withdrawn in September 1992 and scrapped by Gwent Demolition of Margam during January 1994.
