Definitely another vote for Cromptons (Cl 33) here! Mainly because of memories - I am from the Bournemouth area, but they are very characterful locos and very versatile, especially the 33/1s which I grew up with in Bournemouth. Never traveled in one, but the drivers often used to let us have a look round the cab and engine room while waiting for the 4Rep/4TC from London!
