Details

The Class 33 diesel-electric locomotive, also known as the BRCW Type 3, was built between 1959 and 1963 by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company for British Railways. With 98 examples constructed, these versatile Type 3 locomotives were primarily used on the Southern Region. Powered by a Sulzer 8LDA28 engine delivering 1,550 hp, Class 33s were known for their reliability and flexibility, hauling both passenger and freight trains. Their compact size and multiple working capability made them a favourite for secondary and mainline duties. Many examples remain preserved and operational today.
