An example of this loco (albeit in Virgin Trains Livery) can be seen here at the railway, normally on the Seinfar Football Trains or around Kingsford Yard.</div><br /><div>Our Class 25 was built at Derby works, was one of the redesigned ones, as stated above. The main features were the removal of the seldom used gangway doors, and a change in location of the Air Intakes. Our loco was the 4th of the batch to be built, and it features Vacuum Brakes and a Boiler.</div><div>The picture above show D5237 at the Forbes end of Kingsford Station. The field in front is the Exhibition Field, which was radically transformed during our Warring Forties event, and as can be seen, is now VERY muddy.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2206178761260703041-8725507540588572012?l=kingsfordstation3.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jack Gordonnoreply@blogger.com0
