- This video is a compilation of clips of Class 33s in action on the main line, filmed between 1988 and 1990. These have been put together in (TOPS) Class number order. Not every Class member features, but some locomotives do feature more than once.
As with the other compilations, these clips have already been posted to the channel, as part of their respective dated video clips.
[All photos used in the opening sequence and the background music were taken/ written/ played by me.]
Love the sight of Cromptons , Beautiful sounding locomotives when departing ❤
Crompton heaven thanks for sharing. Plenty of the 33's shot there in '88 were soon to be withdrawn unfortunately. My local beasts in the 80's. Surprisingly my ex g/f drove a few although not passed hehe :)
Very enjoyable video. Brought back some happy memories when I used to travel around London on a one day travelcard with my trusty Pentax MX photting trains, if I managed to catch a Crompton working that was always a good bonus. Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, West Ealing, Acton Mainline and Waterloo were favourite haunts of mine back in the early 1990s.
I grew up overlooking the Weymouth line, so got used to the sound of a Crompton slogging up the bank every hour. Great to see these characterful locos in action again! 🚂👍
Magic. Thanks for all these great clips.
Love seeing the 33s working with TC sets. It must of been strange for the driver when operating from the TC end. You open the throttle and there’s no engine sound , just a shove from the back. I once had a ride in a mk4 DVT when propelling a set into the works at Doncaster. It was just quiet,no noise, the 91 was 8 carriages behind us.
Great video 😊

By 1988 a lot of the knackered Cromptons were laid up at Eastleigh and Salisbury, their lives over. Strange how Mid Kent wasn't their patch at the time, freight work given to 73s and 56s.
