## About This Content
1957, an order was placed for a batch of diesel-electric locomotives which
were destined for the Southern Region of British Railways. Known at the time
as the BRCW Type 3s, they were built as Bo-Bo, mixed-traffic locomotives,
fitted with 1550 horsepower Sulzer engines that could propel them to a top
speed of 85 mph. They housed Crompton Parkinson electrical equipment, forever
giving them the nickname “Cromptons”. A true classic, the BR Class 33 comes to
Train Sim World for heritage diesel operation.
The first BRCW Type 3s were rolled off the production line in 1959, entering
service that December; the initial batch of 65 locomotives was delivered until
1961, and then a second batch was completed by 1962, totalling 98 locomotives
across 3 main variants.
Once in regular service, the Type 3s quickly became a staple throughout the
Southern Region, and particularly in the South Eastern Division to begin with,
working principle passenger and freight services to Dover; steel trains
between Sheerness and Willesden, cement runs, engineering trains, and the list
goes on. They were also used in the South West, where a subset of locomotives
were fitted with SR multiple unit equipment so they could work push-pull
trains to Salisbury and Weymouth that originated from London Waterloo.
Their widespread success in transforming key services throughout the Southern
Region gave the Class 33s a keen following, and it is probably the reason that
29 have survived into preservation, including some which are mainline
certified, not a bad effort for a fleet pushing for 60 years old. Two of the
preserved locomotives; D6566 (33048) and D6575 (33057) “Seagull” have found a
home on the West Somerset Railway, both operational and sporting the classic
BR Green livery.
The Train Sim World BR Class 33 now joins the BR Class 47 and BR Class 09 to
further bring to life the heritage festivities of the West Somerset Railway
route’s diesel gala.
