C33 7 - MagnumMacKivler/RLCPT2 GitHub Wiki
The C33-7 is a catalogued-but-not-built and, technically, not even properly offered locomotive as part of the initial offering of their New Series locomotives. Little is known about it, since the U33C itself was an interim design and the modest uprating was better served on the C36-7. As it was to be an initial release, it would likely be offered with all the normal bells and whistles of the Dash 7 lineup but feature the GT11 alternator of the C30-7 - ergo, similar tractive performance and motor-based transition.

Notes
⚠: Not Verified or Educated Guess
(1) Again, the FB-3 is a specificiation, not a truck. Several variants exist. Adirondac and GSC both made castings.
(2) GE's aftermarket kit was compatible with all of their Dash 7 locomotives. Therefor it would theoretically be possible to put a theoretical brake kit on the theoretical C33-7. Theoretically.
