Train Sim World 2: BR Class 33 Loco DLC Global Steam

BR Class 33

In 1957, an order was placed for a batch of diesel-electric locomotives intended for the Southern Region of British Railways. Originally referred to as the BRCW Type 3s, these locomotives were built as mixed-traffic Bo-Bo locomotives. They were equipped with 1550 horsepower Sulzer engines, capable of reaching a top speed of 85 mph. Due to their utilization of Crompton Parkinson electrical equipment, they earned the nickname "Cromptons." The iconic BR Class 33, a true classic, now joins Train Sim World® 2 for heritage diesel operation.

The first BRCW Type 3 locomotives were manufactured in 1959 and entered service in December of that year. The initial batch comprised 65 locomotives, which were delivered until 1961. A second batch was completed by 1962, bringing the total to 98 locomotives across three primary variants.

Upon entering regular service, the Type 3 locomotives quickly became a mainstay on the Southern Region, particularly in the South Eastern Division. They operated on various passenger and freight services, including routes to Dover, steel trains between Sheerness and Willesden, cement transportation, and engineering trains. Some locomotives were also fitted with SR multiple unit equipment to operate push-pull trains from London Waterloo to Salisbury and Weymouth, serving the South West.

The widespread success of the Class 33 locomotives in transforming key services throughout the Southern Region garnered them a dedicated following. As a result, 29 locomotives have survived into preservation, with some being certified for mainline operation. Notably, two preserved locomotives, D6566 (33048) and D6575 (33057) "Seagull," have found a home on the West Somerset Railway, where they continue to operate and showcase the classic BR Green livery.
