Скачать или смотреть The amazing sight of Class 33s in Scotland

Having spent the majority of their working lives on the Southern Region of British Rail, the Class 33 is not a locomotive one would readily associate with Scotland. However three class 33 locomotives were sent to Scotland on 1st October 1999. 33025 (grey/yellow) and 33030 (EWS livery) were allocated to Motherwell, and outbased at Aberdeen for local freight duties whilst 33019 (grey/yellow) was kept at Motherwell Depot as a source for spares. 33030 caught fire at Huntly while working 6A11 to Aberdeen on Weds 17 Jan 2001. As 33025 had been out of service at Motherwell for a while, both 33 were then out of action. Fortunately all three locomotives however survive to this day, two of which are seen at the end of this short film.
