First Great Western still occaisionally use a Class 08 to work the empty Penzance sleepers between Old Oak Common and Paddington when they are short of Class 57s. I understand it struggles with the weight of the sleepers and a trailing Class 57 when it has to pass over the engine and carriage flyover!
