Hornby’s class 08 0-6-0 diesel shunter is an ideal small locomotive to expand or start modelling in TT:120 scale. Accurately replicating the workhorse of Britain’s freight yards, this compact shunter is the ideal addition to a modern image layout of any size. Buy now from the Key Model World Shop for £124.99 (RRP £136.99).
FREE British Rail Shunters - the Final Years book worth £16.99 with each Hornby TT:120 Class 08 purchased through Key Publishing.
Recognised as one of the most reliable diesel shunters constructed, the class 08 was a British Railways development of an LMS design with 996 of these successful locomotives constructed between 1952 and 1962. A common sight in yards and sidings to this day, the number of preserved Class 08s almost outnumbers those currently in mainline service.
Built in 1960, Hornby’s model of 08818 replicates the locomotive as currently used by GBRf in the Wirral, carrying their striking blue and orange house scheme with red ‘Molly’ nameplates. Perfect for a layout large or small set from 2014 onwards (era 11), 08818 is highly detailed with fine coupling rods and etched metal detailing and is the perfect companion for modern image freight stock and forthcoming class 66 also produced by Hornby. The locomotive features a 6-pin decoder socket, making it a simple upgrade to digital control with Hornby Triplex Sound Bluetooth decoders or other decoders.
Product highlights include:
- BR Class 08 0-6-0 diesel shunter 08819 ‘Molly’ in GBRf blue and orange
- DCC ready with a 6-pin decoder socket
- NEM standard couplings
- Designed for operation down to Radius 1
- Compact locomotive ideal for any layout set from 2014 onwards

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.
Aaron B
Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue
David L
Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
