Old shunters

[alex17595]

Hi guys, I've recently been around the nemsis rail site in Burton and there was some old shunters down the side- A line of for or five of them near a Travelling post office.

These were in loads of different liveries and looked in a bad state, anyway one of them looked similar to this Clicky- possibly the same one in that livery. There was also one in a Purple livery w/ yellow wheels.


They had no numbers on and was wondering if anyone has any information on these - sorry I didn't take no pictures.

I don't know the numbers, but it appears to be one of these:

Looking at a few pictures of the Burton depot I can see what you mean. The majority of them look like ex private industrial shunters - your average Thomas Hill, Vanguard, Sentinel et all really, though a purple one sounds little bit like it could be an ex DLO (Defence Logistics Organisation, now reformed into the Defence Equipment and Support) shunter as found at various rail connected MOD sites such as Marchwood or Bicester.

The is a similar colour yes, but this one was 0-6-0 that didn't contain the white stripe. It looked life something from cadburys!

A found another example that was there :ShunterIt was basically the same.
