    19.00 'Beerex' from Bo'ness to Birkhill with a Class 26 on 4th May. The locomotive was reunited

    re-wiring the headlight, changing a fuel pump, changing seals on the heat exchanger and had a
    traction motor blower replaced in late July. The locomotive was due to operate the Diesel Gala on
    7th/8th September 2002.
    Locomotive : 33 021
    Date Sold : 01/97 by E.W.S.
    Owner : Fragonset (prev. Alan Lear, on hire to Fragonset)
    Current Location : South East (on hire to SWT) Prev. Carnforth and Tyseley - Birmingham Railway Museum
    Current Livery : Fragonset Black (prev. Post Office Red with EH Plaques)
    Named : Eastleigh - 09/97
    Status : Moved from Carnforth to Fragonset's workshops at Derby in Spring to enable electrical
    repairs to take place to return the locomotive to traffic following its failure in May 2001. Whilst out
    of traffic the locomotive also received an exam, main generator repairs and a full repaint into Fragonset
    Black livery retaining 'Eastleigh' nameplates. The locomotive was released to traffic on the afternoon
    of 17th May just in time to work light engine to Crewe with 33 108 to work the 33 111 Charters railtour
    from Crewe to Largs, Stranraer and Glasgow. After successfully completing the most arduous of test runs
    the locomotive along with 33 108 has been hired to South West Trains arriving in Southampton on the
    morning of 28th June 2002 in the consist of the 22.35 Crewe Basford Hall – Southampton freightliner
    and then worked light engines to Woking. The locomotives have been hired as SWT Thunderbirds for the
    forthcoming leaf fall season and are currently being used for driver training. Locomotive has had a crest
    fitted above the nameplates depicting a bird in flight.
    Saw much activity in April 2001 starting with hauling 'The Marches Marauder' railtour single handed
    from Crewe to Dungeness and return. The locomotive then made a Crompton debut at the North York
    Moors Railway Diesel Gala on 28th/29th April. The following week on 5th May the locomotive stood in
    for an unavailable Class 31 when it worked in tandem with 31 459 on a Green Tours charter from Preston
    to Edinburgh. The locomotive was set to repeat the performance a week later but failed prior to departure
    and was replaced by another Class 31. Remains out of traffic following its failure in early May 2001.
    It seems the cause of the failure was a small electrical fire and rewiring is now required before the
    locomotive can return to operational use.
    Operated + utilised by Fragonset as Depot Shunter. Mainline Certification and repaint
    into Fragonset Livery to follow in near future. Allocated SDFR sector on17/9/97).
