I was walking up Peckham High Street at 16:16. A GBRF 66 was hauling what appeared to be a dark green 33 and an XP64 Class 52. Had I known about this, I would've been at the station! Anyway, can anybody confirm that that was what was running. And does anybody have anymore details about it?

Well the only Western is at OC and thats getting repainted. It could have been a 33 I suppose.

Are you totally sure?

I'm not certain. The one on rear was a distinctive light turquoise colour and also had a distinctive shape which resembled a 52.

The one in the middle was dark green (I think) and may well have been 33052.

It could have been 37411 for that 52-like one. It's been down OOC recently, but it's been everywhere, literally, since December 2004!

47853 is at CREWE. 37411 is OOU at OC. 33052 is long stored! You sure it wasnt just a unit :roll:

Absolutely. It was definitely a GBRF 66, I couldn't identify the two things it was hauling :(.

33052 is operational at the Kent and East Sussex railway, at tenterton.
It's not mainline certified or anything IIRC.
