Stabled in Immingham Reception Sidings on 27th August 2003 is Class 08 No. 08466. In EWS red and yellow livery and carrying an unofficial 'Brillo' nameplate under her cab side window she was one of a handful of the Class to be equipped with Remote Radio Control equipment enabling her to be controlled from the ground. On the front of the loco can be seen the extra warning lights fitted to alert ground staff when No. driver was on board. Withdrawn 6 years later during August 2009 she would be scrapped by C F Booth in their Rotherham yard in February 2011.
