      I'll see your Basingstoke, and I'll raise you Angerstein wharf. Double headed from a standing start it was hard to tell if they were powering forwards or being dragged backwards!

    Nice catch. Memories of shooting out of Waterloo on the Salisbury train behind a 33. Not sure how they did it but the driver would rev the engine up to full speed just creeping forward and then apparently switch to full generator excitation for stunning acceleration 0 - 30 mph or so.

    Nice video! I have a question however, were headlights not a requirement on British trains in the past? I've seen plenty of videos and photos of old UK trains and many of them (including this one) doesn't seem to have any. Is there anybody here who can explain please?

    A 4 coach load is a bit of an insult to a 33. 33/1s used to push 2 x 4TC up Bincombe and Parkstone banks after short starts from Weymouth and Poole 5 times a day in summer. In the early 80s they also used to haul 11 up Parkstone on the Poole Newcastle which one year stopped at Parkstone on summer Saturdays meaning a restart half way up the bank!

      @@brianwillson9567 The Sulzer engines were double inline, not vee, meaning that they were both short and (relatively) narrow. Also for an industrial series (as here), you don't have the faff of different vee-angles for different cylinder numbers, you can just bang on another pair of cylinders. Very clever. One of the 33 subclasses were the "Slim Jims", where the narrowness of the double-four was a boon.
