LPPC DSL BW 1297 It was very unusual to see a Class 08 350hp shunter at Paddington, so I can only surmise that the booked Brush Type 2 Class 31 pilot has failed or a carriage has gone tick and needs removing to Old Oak Common. The Class 50, 50013, in line with most of its siblings, was later given a name, ‘Agincourt’. Many of the others received names from UK fighting vessels to create a sort of 1980s Warship class. Astonishingly, 21 examples, nearly half the original fleet, are now preserved in one form or another. It is to be hoped that all passengers on incoming services are aware that the place called ‘Paddington’ is the end of the line. Keywords: BR, Paddington, Western, Class 50, 50013, Class 08, Passenger, Shunter
