Can anyone identify the Class 08 shunter that was at Goole docks under this name I think in 1990's, what was its original 08 number and what became of it?
Thanks for any assistance, am helping a friend with a new Goole port/railway history.
It may have been operated by stevedores RMS and I recall there was one (maybe the same) in ABP ownership in 2000/2001, leased out to another company.
Edit
Apologies, I have this one mixed up with a later loco it seems
The F.J.M. is reported to me as this one.... from records of the Industrial Railway Society
"0-6-0 diesel hydraulic built by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds in 1964 (Works No. 6294) listed under Goole Railfreight Limited. That company was incorporated in 1991 and dissolved on 8 February 1994. IRS go on to say that the loco was acquired by RMS Locotec from C.F. Booth, Rotherham on 18 March 1992 and that it was back with RMS Locotec out on hire at Washwood Heath, Birmingham by December 1993."
Now I am not sure if this was the one owned and leased out by ABP, or whether it was a later shunter.
