what are the old numbers for no 9 and no 16. is there any more 08/13 here .
According to my records, there should be one 08. h011 and three 600,s. numbers being 625/690, and 632/687/h043/no8, and 649/692/h049
The two other shunters you couldn't id, looking at the position of the headlights near the top of the cab, leads me to believe that the others are the Dutch shunters.
Mr Boggle has mentioned these Dutch shunters in another topic, so your records are near enough correct.

From various internet sources, mainly Fotopic searches, it appears that a number of these are now or have at some point been in the UK since their retirement from Dutch railways including, but possibly not limited to 653, 663, 671 (ex 601), 685 (ex 627), 687 (ex 632), 690 (ex 625) and 692 (ex 649).
I believe from reports that 687, 690 and 692 may all be operating at Teesport, whilst 663 and 671 are preserved at NRM Shildon and The Ribble Steam Railway respetively.

out of 687 and 690 and 692, which one have i not seen. Which one is RMS no 16, and which one is RMS no 9, and what is the RMS number of the one i have not seen.
What i can gather, is that 692 & 690 are both at Teesdock

Is it no 8.by any chance. Is it still there ?
I have no idea Rob. I've spent the best part of an hour 1/2 looking through the net, and can't find any info or pictures for the Dutch shunters. I have emailed RMS Locotec directly, but the emails keeps failing and getting sent back to me.

so ive got to go back and get another 350 in black.
Fraid so Robert
So just to simple things up a bit. If the shunters have lights towards the top of the cab, then it will be one of the old Dutch shunters, which are now owned by RMS, leased out to PD Ports.

I have been looking at the shunter spot photo's of 08588 in black, but is that last one dated 19 april 2008 blue, or am i going colourblind.
Definately LNWR black, although the roof has a slight tinge of blue. I can't find any recent photos of 08588 to prove that it is still in black, but i would be surprised if it had changed colour.
