Hi, can anyone tell me what era the BR class 33 D6572 is?

Thanks

The usual caveats about Wiki's accuracy apply here, but they have this

Are you talking about the Farish 33? If so, this example is the all-over green loco, without yellow warning panels. The loco would have operated in this condition from its introduction in about 1962 - the type was first introduced in 1960 - until about 1965/66. Yellow warning panels were late additions to the 33s, and some were reported still in all-over green as late as 1968.

I'm not sure when D6572 received yellow ends itself...

I have Ian Allan Shed Books from 1965 through to 1968 and D6572 is shown as shedded at 73C Hither Green for the entire date range. Southern Region, as was, was notoriously slow in applying yellow warning panels to their locos. Dunno whether this helps?

thank you all for the info, it's helped greatly !
