    Not sure to be honest they were built to work with a trailer car so I’d say at least one coach possibly 2 at a push.

    Unless anyone knows different there are currently no plans to re livery the 33 although I did joke about painting it in mainline grey livery.

    250s Livery still looks great it’s more to do with my photography

    On paper*, they were allowed haul a trailer car plus a further 12 tons of tail traffic, which works out at roughly 40 tons.

    I recently travelled on 55001 on the East Lancs hauling a Commonwealth bogied (37 ton) Mark 1 BSK and things underneath were smelling warm! It was perfectly capable of doing the job but adding further weight would be considered unwise.

    So a general rule of thumb, they wouldn't regularly haul more than one full length vehicle behind.

    (*Regional instructions differed, so I've deliberately used rough numbers - there are BR examples which differed slightly)
