Classes Of Train

Class 33

	Class 33 from a view; “Stan Symes”. These locomotives were built at the same time as the Class 421 EMUs. They were comissoned by the former BR, in 1959 as multi traffic locos (passenger hauling & freight). They are equipped with three electrical generators and turbos
among other devices. Amazingly their maximum speed is 85 mph, quite something considering that many of the steam trains were dorfling around at about 50mph. At Swanage I’m sute that it will never reach that speed, optium
	line speed being around 25mph. (Information found from watching a speedo in a DMU cab)
