RMweb Premium PJ10 Posted May 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2022 Afternoon, I believe the photo and associated text were first posted on Facebook back in Feb 21.

sulzer71 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Now here's a question for the experts here , 25216 is listed as vac only + mechanical speedo , does anyone know of any other 25's that match this arrangement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted July 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm not sure the significance of the mech speedo, but the model depicts the the loco in it's 1976-78 condition. It was not a loco that had the boiler room grilles sheeted over, but almost all the locos that did, were vaccuum braked examples. I beleive this work began in the mid-1970s, and eventually covered 63 locos from 25100 onwards, only 7 of which were dual braked, or converted later.

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted July 16, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2022 Plated over means the grille is sheeted over in the works, leaving a smooth side - this is a cover plate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I used the term 'sheeted over' in the post you replied to... 😉 Both words are open to interpretation, so I decided to follow the Derby Sulzers approved description! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
