  • how old is this??

  • This was filmed almost 20 years ago.

  • 91 running backwards?

  • That was the only time I ever saw a 91 running flat end forward. I almost didn't bother to film it as I only went for the 25.

  • Absolutely Fab!!! Good how I loved the Rats. Brilliant horn - what a driver.

  • My wife and I were treated to THIRTEEN MILES of horn warbling when we left Aberystwyth by train on Sept 21 1975 - but that was a class 24, after my father in law reminded the driver of a local tradition from steam days: all newly married couples left town to the sound of Swindon whistles, and the bigger the tip, the longer the whistles! Anybody know which 24 0XX it was?

  • Two "Rats" arrived on the NYMR ex Vic Berry's yard.

    25278 was named "Castell Powis/ Powis Castle" in paint on the side of the locomotive.

    I know there was a GWR Castle Class loco of the same name.

    I wonder where the name was applied to the 'Rat'? It was at some point between August 1986 and January 1987.

    I wondered why the painted name it bore on withdrawal was not kept, it was named "Sybilla" in preservation. If "Powis Castle" was unofficial I suppose there was no reason to keep it.

  • WOW i wish i was born in 1991 instead of 1994 so i could see that i going to remake this train in Model form :P

  • what happened to it?

  • Great video,just love the 25 sulzer magic !

  • still can't stop watching this!

    such a fitting end to such a much missed class of loco!

    hard to believe it was twenty years ago!

  • What a way to go!!

  • Hey that makes any tone vids I've heard pale into insignificance! What a stream of tones and nice to hear a 25 again as they are so like the late lamented 27 we had up her, ta for the upload. Ken
