class 33's out to play Salisbury & Exeter 6.7.91 (Full Version)

I was mid way through a 7 day all-liner back in 91...and turned up at waterloo on sat morning to take a nose at the 10.15 to Salisbury which was 50027 on the end and 33102 on the blocks..50027 was failed and 33102 took the 10.15 to Salisbury...
after departing waterloo on 33102 to Salisbury 33026 passed us light en route to work the 11.15 waterloo-Exeter..
anyway... ended up at Exeter having 33026 there after 33102 to Salisbury.
the mad thing was we got 3 33's back 33030,33114 & 33026 (dit) worked the 16.22 Exeter-Waterloo a few attempts were made at Exeter to multi up 026 with the other two but unfortalitly to no avail...
33114 worked solo back to Waterloo after dropping of 33026 & 33030 at Salisbury.

LOL - Triple header and double header, even the sun used to shine then in the summer, oh halycon days...

Quality footage there from probably my favourite era before the units started taking over all the many loco hauled workings on the network. 10/10 and i've subbed!

My project for this Autumn/Winter is to convert my hours of video footage onto DVD and upload to My Channel - and there'll be some 33's, 47's, and 50's on Waterloo-Exeter from my visits down south, plus lots of other stuff from early 80's to late 90's.

Never saw them in BR action, too far up north. Unique sound these 33s have and great video action here. Wish i could go back in time....:-(

@desdemona77 hi there great vids by the way was just wondering did class 33s ever run head and tail or did they always uncouple after each  jourbey eg waterloo hoper u can help cheers

@4fsake , No class 33's were a real workhorse, I was a Guard at Weymouth and before electrifcation the 33/1 push-pull units had no trouble getting up the incline to Bincome Tunnel with a heavy train.

[4fsake]

Are class 33's low powered? I noticed three of them to pull a train.

Excellent Video!

Thanks for posting 5*
