Locomotive History
08633 is a Derby works built locomotive and dates from 1959. Originally allocated to Stoke MPD this was followed by spells at Crewe and Doncaster. For the last few years it has been the depot shunter at Worksop Wagon Repair Depot until it closed on the 21st December 2009 and 08633 was removed to Toton by road on the 23rd December 2009 being stored the following day. It has just been fitted with remote control equipment enabling it to be driven remotely from the ground as indicated by the external control indications provided on the cab and bonnet ends and it left Toton ten days later on the 17th March 2010 for Hinksey Yard. In August 2010 it moved to Bescot taking over the pilot duty from 08886. By December 2010 08633 was due an E exam and on the 16th December it arrived back at Toton and has been placed in store. 08633 was released back into traffic on the 9th February 2011 and left Toton on the 10th February 2011 for Hoo Junction. After a year at Hoo Junction it was stored and moved north to Crewe for a C Exam in March 2012 following which it moved to Westbury in April 2012 and was reinstated, however by June 2012 it was back in store after failing.
