BRCW Class 33/2 The Southern Region of British Railways ordered a number of these locomotives as part of the Kent Coast electrification scheme. They were built by Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRCW) of Smethick, Birmingham and intended to replace all steam locomotives in Kent. The the last 12 (delivered in 1962) were a little different from all the others, being 7 inches narrower to enable working through the restricted tunnels of the Hastings line. 33202 is one of these narrow bodied machines and is 50' 9" long, 12' 8" high, and 8' 8" wide and weighs around 76½ tons with a fuel capacity of 800 gallons. The Class had a maximum speed of 85 mph. The loco worked all kinds of duties on the Southern Region until withdrawn from service in 1998.
