Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me what this train is?
 

Hi Everyone,

I used to go and look at the trains with my dad when i was little and remember most of them but i saw this train today on the back of a lorry on the M25 and don't know what it is. I'm sure the number looked like it was a class 30 but i typed it into google and it only showed 31's which look different! Can anyone help? Heather x

Welcome to the Forum Heather,

Looks like a Birmingham Carriage and Wagon Works design so could be a 26,27 or 33. I am sure one of the others will be able to tell you.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Thank you :)

I've had a look and i think its 33202 :)

Hello Heather and welcome to the forum.
I also think that it is 33202. It is definitely a 33/2 because it has the Hastings line narrow body and as far as I know 33202 is the only loco of that type in blue livery that still survives.

Hello Heather and welcome to the forum.

Hello Heather and welcome to the Railway Forum.
There is a photo of Class 33/2 old number D6587 here,

Hi Heather, it is indeed 33202,being moved from Gloucester to its new home at the Mangapps Railway Museum at Burnham-On-Crouch,Essex,where it will be preserved.

Hello and welcome to the forum Heather.

Hello Heather and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.

Welcome to the forum, and yep, 33202 is the star of that photo! Glad to hear it's been preserved, I had her last year and she's a beast!

Pity she is going to a line where she can't stretch her legs.

Well she didn't have much chance on the SDR last April really, but she's still a beast. But your point is still valid.

Hi Heather, welcome to the forum. One of my former local engines - the class 33/2 built with the narrow body for the Hastings line - where I'm from!

Best Wishes
Tony
