Presenting the British Railways Class 33!

33201 (1993), D6593 (1997), and 33008 Eastleigh (1996) have all been preserved on the Battlefield Line Railway.

D6502 was involed in an accident in 1964 when her driver failed to heed a red signal. She managed to force her brakes on, but still took enough damage she was scheduled for scrapping despite being only four years old until the NWR requested her. British Railways, happy for the NWR to take any diesel at that point, had her repaired and transfered. She was given the name Antigone, and has severed happily on the North Western ever since.
