Previous Numbers : D3987
Status : Scrapped
Current Livery : Departmental Grey
Notes : Officially stored on the 23rd September 1999 at Cardiff Canton, 08819 was transferred into the WSXX pool.

The RT Rail owned 08819, spent most its time residing at West Yard, Doncaster.

Sometime during March / April 2008 though, it was taken into the Wabtec area, probably for it being used as a spares donor. Shortly afterwards, 08819 did make an appearance back in the West Yard sidings, but on the 20th May, it was dragged back into the Wabtec complex, ready to be loaded for transfer to its new owners at CF Booth's in Rotherham. On the 21st May 2008, it left for Rotherham, where it was deposited at CF Booth's later in the day. The disposal of 08819 at Booth's was completed on the 14th August 2008.
