Forgive me: as usual Ian takes a month to get round to spotting then replying to an interesting thread. Amazingly, the only locomotive cab I've ever been in (apart from in museums) was a 33 back in the 1980s. I think it was the last day before full electrification of the East Grinstead line and they were offering short cab rides in a 33. A traction inspector showed us how the driver releases the brakes, powers up the diesel and watches the current on the ammeter climb. Network South East, as they were at that time, were rather good at organising such days but all that seems to have finished now.
