long island jack Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Clearly a model with all those clean HAAs, and who puts a 25 on the front, everyone knows it should be either a 47 or 56 to be a proper MGR..... Dave Dam, thought nobody would notice it was a model, what gave it away, those to clean MGR's I bet!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Pannier Tank Posted January 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I recently discovered that I have quite a collection of Class 25 photos from the 1980s and was surprised to find that here on RMWeb there isn't a dedicated thread for this, once numerous class of BR diesel locos. I've always had a fondness for 25s and they seem to be popular with modellers. Indeed, Bachmann have announced a re-tooled 25/1 and Heljan have announced a new 00 25/3. I would like to invite all to join in with their own photos including preserved examples. Mel, Thank you for starting what has turned out to be a great thread on the Class 25's I have fond memories of seeing D7575 at Marylebone Station 18/04/1964 when it worked the Empty Stock off of a Railtour Hauled by 4472 Flying Scotsman. I used to see plenty of Class 25's at Bletchley in the early 80's until they were replaced by Class 31's, happy days. I'll have to see if I have any Class 25 images worth sharing.

The Ketton Cement train that went through Leicester and Nuneaton was I think to Castle Bromwich in Birmingham. At least there's a Ketton terminal marked there on my 1984 Baker atlas.

If you hadn't said where that was I'd never have guessed despite signing the road! Lots of vegetation on both sides of the line there now. I remember further east seeing eight 25s lined up at Croft Sidings one Sunday morning in 1981, not sure why they'd been dumped there but it was quite unusual even then.

hmrspaul Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) My 25's are here https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/class2425 I won't apologise for the inclusion of the 24s - including a few from my teenage. I got to like them, although the dominance of 24s on ECS at both Euston and Kings X could be boring in the early 60s. The broad band two tone green livery was very nice - as it was on the 47s. Disappointing that they went before the liberation from the boringly blue years. Paul Edited January 11, 2019 by hmrspaul 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
