Some are, I believe, still in use, with Fragonset and DRS amongst others, the former's locos were heavily involved in moving about the new SWT Desiros around.

That's good to hear - the Class 33's are a particular favourite of mine -

33035 'Spitfire' is the only Loco I've ever actually seen at Eastbourne station - a fair few years back now, and I wish I had a camera with me. Looking forward to the Heljan model.

I seem to remember that the first 33 converted to push-pull operation had a small yellow panel between the jumper cables. Is there a photo of this loco? would make an interesting model Steve
