RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted December 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 22, 2022 Wonder if someone on here can help? I've seen a photo of 25294 in GFYP TOPS no somewhere on the Internet, but can't find it now. The loco is in a station, possibly Brum New St, in about 1975. Tried flickr & Google search, come up with a couple of 294 in GFYP TOPS, but not the one I'm looking for. Can anyone help please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The class 25s were in several series D5151-D5175 became 25001-25025 - 25/0 class 24 bodyshell - side filters D5176-D5193 became 25026-25043 - 25/1 - side filters gangway doors steam boiler * D5194-D5232 became 25044-25082 - 25/2 - side filters gangway doors steam boiler D5233-D5237 became 25083-25087 - 25/2 - cantrail air filters and steam boiler D5238-D5299 became 25088-25149 - 25/2 - cantrail air filters D7500-D7567 became.25150-25217 - 25/2 - cantrail air filters D7568-D7597 became 25218-25247 - 25/2 - side filters gangway doors steam boiler D7598-D7677 became 25248-25327 - 25/3 - cantrail air filters * except 25029-25032 which were not built with boilers I refer here to ATH Taylers book Sulzer types 2 and 3 which is the only tect I have seen referring to 25044-25082 as 25/2 which he quotes as design code25.2cX. Strangely, he records the batch 25026-25043 as a mix of /1 and /2. All references I have seen apart from Tayler refer to 25026-25082 as 25/1, 25083-25247 as 25/2 and 25248 onwards as 25/3.

Extraordinarily high mounted number and logo on 25 261 - a nice one to model?! As was often the case the number looks to have been raised (and thus not in accordance with the ‘in line with the space between the lines in the logo’ directive, to accommodate a data panel). I recall Croft being announced at BNS as part of the stopping DMU service (often Cravens operated) from Birmingham to Leicester - followed by Narborough - if you travelled in one of the driving cars you stood a good chance of having dental fillings shaken loose by the end of the journey 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
