It’s one of my green 25s that’s awaiting further detailing. No information re location and date, but will be around 1974/5. My copyright Neil Nice find, especially when modelling this particularly machine! Note the blanked-off boiler compartment grille - there is a photo of D7646 brand new with this grille already blanked - it carries the headcode 8M13 which to me indicates that Bachmann referred to this picture for their model of this locomotive, although they fitted it with open grilles! Photos of the Beyer-Peacock-built batch (D7624-59) indicate that many of these had blanked grilles while in green livery and D7646 shows that at least some of them had blanked grilles from new - perhaps all so fitted were from new, although this fitment seems to show the kind of random application displayed by Class 31/1 headcode boxes up to D5562. I photographed D7648 in Gsy at Derby on 4/11/69 with exposed grilles but D7657, the first LMR 25 to be transferred to the WR and the only Gsy example to reach that region, was seen at Exeter on 11/9/71 with blanked grilles. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks like we have a steel bodied Medfit ZAV or ZAO, a Grampus ZBV or ZBO, a Pipe ZDV ex SOV followed by another Grampus, and bog standard brake.... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
