Class 33/0 33056 BR Blue FYE The Burma Star

The British Rail Class 33 is a series of diesel-electric Bo-Bo locomotives built by BRCW between 1960 and 1962 for the Southern Region of British Railways. A total of 98 Class 33 locomotives, numbered D6500 to D6597, were manufactured. Due to the Crompton Parkinson electrical equipment fitted to them, the series was known as the "Cromptons". They shared many similarities with their less powerful sister locomotives, the Class 26 and Class 27. 26 Class 33 locomotives survive today.
