R30507 BR - Class 08 - 'Colchester TMD' D3760
Product Info
Add the Class 08 'Colchester TMD' model locomotive to your diesel collection in this elegant blue livery. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, this is a delightful, highly detailed model.
Built at Crewe Works, this standard 350hp diesel electric shunter started life in November 1959 as D3760 and was allocated to Dannycraig depot at Swansea in South Wales. Under TOPS it was renumbered to 08593 and, in the 1990s, it was reallocated to Colchester where it received a retro-style red-lined BR livery with early ‘cycling lion’ emblem and its old number D3760.
It was also named ‘Colchester TMD’ which was applied in a cursive hand-writing style. It became part of the EWS fleet and, by 2010, it was withdrawn and then stored. It was acquired by Railway Support Services at Wishaw in 2016.
