List of preserved British Rail Class 08 locomotives : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of preserved British Rail Class 08 locomotives
The British Rail Class 08 was the standard class of diesel locomotive designed for shunting. From 1953 to 1962, 996 locomotives were produced, making it the most numerous of all British locomotive classes. There were also 26 of the near-identical but higher-geared Class 09, and 171 similar locomotives fitted with different engines and transmissions (some of which became Class 10), which together brought the total number of outwardly-similar machines to 1193. Since their introduction, the nature of rail freight in Britain has changed considerably, reducing or removing the need for shunting, therefore only a few Class 08 locomotives remain in service today. However, many have found an active retirement on heritage railways in Britain, with at around 69 examples being classed as preserved, (although there was a 70th preserved member which was preserved at Crewe but was later sinced scrapped in 2009), though there may be more unregistered Class 08s still working in Britain or abroad.〔(Fleet status (subsection Class 01-14) ) ''wnxx.net''〕 Their low maintenance requirements means that most of them are still in operational condition, with only a small number of examples left unrestored, as of 2015. == Preserved examples ==
