I was watching a video about the Scunthorpe steelworks following the pair of class 20's as they carry out various shunting tasks around the site. Not really knowing much about this sort of thing I was wondering why they'd choose class 20's over class 08's for shunting duties given the class 20's didn't appear to be ever working together nor going at any speed. On paper the class 20's have a lot more power but tractive effort doesn't seem too far apart at least going by the numbers on wikipedia.
