I'm leaning towards its still tucked up in the shed at Donny as Martyn Nevatt has a full listing and photo's on his site 29/8.
Add to that in the week in question three 08's arrived at Toton and were all off-loaded at the Balfour Beatty sidings and easily recorded,it seems unlikely 08605 would have slipped under the radar.
Agree with everything above. Very very unlikely that it would've left Donny without anybody posting about the move, so i'm like you Mart, and still think it is tucked away at Carr.

The sighting of 08615 on Freightmaster Norm ? How positive do you think that was, cause now we are tending to think it wasn't 08605 on the move, maybe it was 08615 after all
Steve, as I said earlier, concering 08605, an up to date positive sighting is needed. TOPS reports showing 08605 have appeared on FMi and onother gen site.
Any news on 08445 which disappeared from Shotton on 22/7?
Its just that I need 3 out of the 4 for sighting for a number of years so trying to keep tabs as on holiday w/c 28/9 so might have a chance to go and find one or two of them.
Mind you,same applies to 08445

Not a flamin' clue
I asked on the WNXX forum - got about 80 odd views, and not one single reply
The ever reliable Abrail, states that is at the ELR. It was yonks ago, when the Metrolink was been extended, but not now. Whitemoor Yard was a strong possibility, but i've had 3 texts over the weekend, saying that the only shunter there is the class 73. Of course, it could be hidden away, but to have 3 texts of 3 different people - 1 on saturday morning, 1 on sunday morning and the other on sunday evening, all say that they couldn't see it.
Back at Castleton ? Very doubtful given it was heading east towards Nottingham. Looking at the map, the only other places it could've headed to, was,
Old Dalby - not a chance, as 47714 has just gone there on hire.
Boston Docks - even more doubtful, given the fact that 03112 and 08704 are currently there.
The clutching at straws list would be the Nene Valley Railway, Mid & North Norfolk Railway, Norwich, the Colne Valley Railway or Felixstowe. We can count out Felixstowe and none of the above websites have it listed. Norwich could be a possibilty, as 08871 is currently at Wabtec. But as we haven't had any positive sightings of it being down there, this will run and run

Inside of Toton resembled Swindon Works from the 80's. Was told Doncaster finishing off the 08/09 they got and all future work will be undertaken at Toton only.

Not so good news for the fitters etc at Donny, but great news for spotters now the shunters are going to Toton instead.
Great news at last on 605 but if its inside presumably not available for a pic .
What about 783, 397, 951( where is the jack road ) and 954 are they in any sort of possition to be photoed, just asking as im going to call in on the way to the Peak Rail on Sunday.
Thanks
