I've just been looking through the possibles for this one. Out of all the EWS liveried 08's, i can only come up with two, and one of them was a long shot.
08597 - Thornaby resident & DBS owned. As there are no shunters, currently part of the recent sale, i'd be very surprised if this had moved on. Saying that though, Martyn Nevatt has suggested that the Thornaby class 56's, are to be cut up on site, and none of them are available for sale. So this could be a possible, but highly unlikely.
08896 - I can't decide on this one, as Robs photo shows that the livery has started to fade into a salmon pink colour. I don't think its livery has faded to the extent of the one at Thomson's, and i can't find a recent photo of 08896, taken from the side that Rob took, so i'm giving up
Could it be one believed scrapped but was just hiding? According to my contacts, Goodman and Allellys haven't delivered anything recently
Could possibly be the case, 08411???. If not possibilities could be 08441 from Colne valley or 08694 from Great Central, 08695 from Barrow Hill. Has 08913 expired at Boulby!!!!!! as you cannot see the EWS branding.
Who knows, will all come out in the wash. _________________ Barry Boys rule

I think it is 08597, one of the Thornaby demics. Very faded, both the EWS lettering and the livery. The cantrail stripe continues over the wasps, and the overhead warning sign is immediately after the front end. Also, the 2nd warning sign has lettering after it, just like the one at TJ's.
A superb analysis Steve in favour of the prognosis that the mystery shunter will be confirmed as 08597,using all the available material facts and applying both logic and experience to arrive to a persuasive conclusion that,I am confident,will not be challenged.
Top work Steve-thats why you are held in such high esteem by members of the forum.
Mind you I'll laugh my chuffin' head off if you're wrong

Would i be right in thinking that you're taking the mick
Seriously...top stuff Steve..its great being a member of a forum where someone is prepared to put that much effort in supporting/helping its members...no doubt others feel the same
Still if it isn't 597 though

Both shunters have a metal stanchion on the radiator directly in line with the cantrail stripe. At first it does indeed look like some part of the TJT infrastructure in the foreground, but its obviously not connected to the girders plus its in the exact same position in all four photos despite being taken months apart.

But, saying that, you are absolutely spot on Rhys. You can uncross them pinkies now
08402 has faded EWS lettering. And comparing Rob's photo to one taken at Motherwell in 2006, there are scuff marks on the roof ( 2nd panel from the nose ). Everything matches, even down to the dirty streaks, just below the exhaust.
and on my reports i state they have disappeared with little evidence of scrapping apart from the odd bit of shunter and one chassis which is still there.
