08460 is the new 60 year old shunter in town (the station was gated closed when I visited). New as D3575 from BR Crewe on 13th August 1958, allocated to Toton, but from October that year it worked in the Sheffield area. Renumbered to 08460 in March 1974. Sold in February 2007 to Traditional Traction from Allerton, it has was moved in March 2007 to the Colne Valley Railway, spending some time working at Felixstowe. Overhauled in 2016 at Wishaw and recently in usage at Axiom, Stoke.
