Oh, no. Not another 442 thread!!!
XD
To answer your question, in theory any locomotive with ETH fitted can haul and power a 442. Any locomotive or unit fitted with bagpipes (the SR standard 27 way multiple working) can work with a 442 in multi or push pull mode but a loco needs the ETH connected if hauling off the juice. In practice the ETH proved troubleaome and was rarely used
The ideal locos therefore were 33/1 and 73
