Class 08 No. 08141 is seen stabled inside the Barrow Hill Roundhouse on 7th June 1986. Built at BR Derby Works as No. 13209 she entered service at Glasgow Eastfield MPD during February 1956 being renumbered as No. D3209 in December 1959. Barrow Hill Shed was home for No. 08141, as she became under the TOPS scheme, from at least 1974 to 1985. Never selected for dual braking she was never going to survive much longer and was in fact withdrawn in January 1988 and stored at Tinsley MPD for a while before being scrapped locally by C F Booth, Rotherham during September 1994.
