Several new liveries are on the way in both 33/1 and 33/2 varieties. The 33/1 was a sub-class converted for push-pull duties between Bournemouth and Weymouth in 1966/67 and ended up being used on other SR freight and passenger services.
The 33/2 returns to the range after several years. The 'Slim Jims' were the narrow variant that were built to work on the Tonbridge-Hastings line. As with the 33/1, the 33/2 widened their sphere of influence in later years.
All new models have also been upgraded to LED lights and a 21-pin DCC interface.
