Bringing Up The Rear @ Vauxhall
West Coast Railways 33 207 'Jim Martin' (Formerly 'Earl Mountbatten of Burma') brings up the rear of a steam charter passing through Vauxhall. It's been a long time since I've seen/got a shot or posted a shot of a 33. So when the WCRC Diesel on the backend of this Southern steam special turned out to be a 33 I was quite pleased!
33 207 (built 1962) was one of the small batch of Class 33 'Cromptons' known as 'Slim Jims' because of the narrower profile (by 7 inches) over the standard Class 33. This enabled them to work the tight tunnel clearances on the Hastings route.
