Covkid Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Oh wow At last an accurate 25/1 - my favourite version of class 25 and taking in my top four locos 25032 25040 25242 and 25245. Looks like I need to start saving money rapidly If Phil reads this, thanks for the invite to Crewe but unfortunately too much going on at home and at Wythall on Sunday. Now where is the order form !!

Michael Hodgson Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Philip said on Sunday that the latest ones are not yet on his web site. You're talking about a pre-order anyway, so it's probably simplest to wait until they do put it on there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium drjcontroller Posted October 4, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 4, 2023 Spoke to the SLW office yesterday, the new 25/1 should be on the website 'in a couple of weeks' but they did take my order for one over the phone. Disappointingly, the first two I ordered (D7552 and D7666) are in the batch that won't be here until the end of the year 😪 Douglas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 24/1s well into next year, that leaves me with something of a dearth of motive power (I'm relying on SLW for all my 4mm stuff). Guess I'll just have to crack on with a bit of O gauge wagon weathering... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

w124bob Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) 25032 at Coalville 25030/31/32 were built in this condition, 25242 lost it's boiler and water tank in 1973. 25032 and 242 were fitted with dual brakes but lacked the body side latches other dual braked locos had. 25032 preTOPS as D5182 was the only one of the trio to appear in plain green with a FYE.

Don't forget 25029 ! There were four of the original "NB" batch and 25242 made it five. I would really like a GSYP 25/1 but is one in Phil's plans ? If he did 25040 or 25245 in TOPS blue I would struggle not to order but is the SLW business model for the customer to keep trying to ring a phone number three days a week rather than clicking on a website ?

Not so, D5181 was also plain GFYE in April 1968. I would take issue about the lack of air brake hinges on 25032. It clearly had the hinges on the one side affected.

Halvarras Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Bachmann modelled D5182 with a water tank........maybe should have stuck with D7581 as shown in the catalogue (D5255 arrived numbered D7502 as well!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
