This far from ideal photograph was taken by Andrew Smith at Worcester Shrub Hill Station probably in 1967. It has historic interest for Worcester in that is shows class 08 diesel shunter No.D4118 in the 'down' bay platform at the Birmingham end of the station. This platform later became part of a staff car parking area. No.D4118 was the first class 08 shunter to arrive at Worcester. It was first observed by a MIAC member at Worcester on Sunday 12th January 1964.
Very few class 08 shunters were ever allocated to Worcester and No.D4118 was the sole representative of this type at Worcester until 1966.
