This is confusing as the picture @Mark Forrest is of a 25/2 and the announcement is saying it's a 25/1 ? I may be missing something here as I'm not fully clued up on 25's as most of them were gone by the time I had any interest in railways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Differences between 25/1 and 25/2 are largely in the electrical equipment, the potential for confusion comes from the fact that 25/2s were built in both the early and later style bodyshells. It's common for modellers to refer to early body as 25/1 and late as 25/3, but that overlooks the most numerous subclass which was a mixture of both body types. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , what confused me most is wikipedia basically says the 25/2 had the 3 large windows so if this is a 25/1 then I may as well just hand my card to Phil@SLW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Right, I better get on and do something... First job is drilling holes in the point actuating bar which goes under the board within the tortoise mounting base.
