In August 1975 Leicester MPD had eleven Class 08 shunting locomotives (08471/72, 08609/18/19/92/95/96/97/99, 08704) allocated for around five duties (Wellingborough, Corby, Wigston, Leicester station pilot, Leicester Humberstone Road. Hence we see 08695/97/99 plus at least one other stabled on the depot in this view on the 17th August 1975. Also in the view are two breakdown tool vans, a departmental coach, two rail mounted hand crane, an independent snow plough and a busy goods yard. This is one of my early colour transparencies after my move from number taking to photography. I am using a Hanimex Compact non SLR “point and shoot” camera with a 40mm lens of dubious quality around the edges of the frame and a cheap East German film, Orwochrome UT18
