BB 16733
420 g / 0.9 A
The green colour is too dark. The lights seem too big. The cab panes protrude too much: we can see the transparent side. The colour is way too dark and not bluish as it should be. The pantos are very beautiful.

Personal 2014 traction record in MU together with the BB 16733:
89 wagons. Video processed with FFmpeg, Virtual Dub and Audacity. This kind of joke is a test of coupling
resistance more than of traction force!
(12 MB).
The 16733 is put into service on 14 July 1963 in La Chapelle (Nord). Successive depots: La Villette (02-1964), Lens (05-1985) and Strasbourg (09-1990). It is withdrawn on 25 March 2003.
