I remember the first time I saw a class 33 - it was at Exeter St Davids. As a new spotter I had taken a December merrymaker from Ipswich via the North London Line to Exeter where I had relations. The main object had been to see Westerns but this was a bonus as I had no idea at that time that cromptons worked that far. I think there were 2 x 33/0 and 2 x 33/1s if memory serves.
I also remember them working some trains from Chatham Dockyard to Forders Sidings (at Bedford?) when I lived in south -east London. I think the traffic was some sort of contaminated waste.
