Hornby R3343 FGW 0-6-0 Class 08.

The class 08 is one of those diesels which was (and can still be) seen anywhere. They were designed and built in the 1950's and can still be seen on various preserved railways. Designed to shunt in yards these locomotives rarely saw the light of the main line and due to the low top speed they were ideal to push heavy freight and locomotives in depots.
