No. 08570’s main duties in service were shunting motorail vans and sleeper portions at Edinburgh Waverly. It was painted into an Intercity Swallow livery. 08570 was withdrawn from service on 18 January 1992 and then stored at Motherwell. Between 7 and 8 September 1993, the shunter was cut up by M.C. Metal Processing staff on site at Motherwell.

Class 08 shunters are ubiquitous, but our model of No. 08570 is a one-of-a-kind model. Liveried in a BR Intercity Swallow with intricate detail, this model is DCC ready and is compatible with our HM7000 8-Pin decoder.
