Something that has been puzzling me for a while, are all the WCRC class 33s in operable condition? The only one I've seen running is 33207

Atleast one of them is only a parts donor as every time I pass Carnforth on my regular trips home from university at Lancaster it has its engine cover open come rain or shine so there can't be much left in it. Only once have I seen someone leaning into it to salvage/repair it's innards

That is probably 33025 which is stored.

Not quite.

The West Coast Class 33 Fleet currently consists of:

33025 - Which is in Southall, in Maroon and will be returning to mainline use soon.
33029 - Mainline Ready, Based out of Southall. Used as recently as last weekends excellent Purbeck Explorer tour from Swanage to West Ruislip (a rather fine 33 that one!)
33207 - West Coast Maroon, Mainline Ready. I think is currently based out os Southall.

33030 - Carnforth. Sadly this one is WCRCs spares donor and still in DRS Blue.
