Trainspotting Class 33 Diesel Locos

Cab front of an unidentified Class 33 diesel locomotive stabled for the night on a siding at Basingstoke station in the late 1980's.





The Class 33 stands close to where one of Basingstoke's lever-operated signal boxes once stood, opposite the current signal box (see photo below) where the track diverges to Reading station





As a young boy in the early 1960's, I was lucky enough, with a friend of mine, to be able to visit the signal box in question and watch for a while the Southern Region steam-hauled trains going back and forth. It was a treat that I will never forget.
