The British Rail Class 25 diesel locomotives were also known as Sulzer Type 2. In total, 327 locomotives of this type were built between 1961 and 1967. They were numbered in two series, D5151-D5299 and D7500-D7677
The Class 24 locomotives were the precursor of the Class 25 design but after the delivery of their first few units it became apparent that the speed ceiling of 75 mph (121 km/h) was unduly restrictive and the provision of additional power would be advantageous. In the course of normal development the power output of the Sulzer six-cylinder engine had been increased by 90 hp (67 kW) to give a continuous traction output of 1,250 bhp (930 kW) at 750 rpm by the introduction of charge air cooling and the first locomotives to use this became known as Class 25 locomotives.
The Class 25 locos were primarily designed for freight work, but a significant number were fitted with boilers for heating passenger trains. Throughout the 1970s they could be found at work across the whole of the British Rail network although the Eastern and Southern Regions never had an allocation. Though regular performers into the early 1980s on Crewe-Cardiff passenger trains, they are best known in that respect for their use on the summer Saturday trains to Aberystwyth, a task they relinquished in 1984. The final Class 25 locomotive was withdrawn from service in March 1987.
R.I.P. BR CLASS 25
PRESS F TO PAY RESPECT TO CLASS 25
And the 24s and 26s
@@ciala51 What Kind Of Sad Music That
These 25s are my favourite train i wanna cry because I grew up with these trains I love them because of there unique shape the reason why half of them were scrapped was because they were very heavy, I just can’t believe BR would do this to such a unique train when I heard they were gonna be scraped I was gutted and I was crying now I’m even more gutted upon seeing how many they really scrapped to this day these 25s being scrapped breaks my heart,thanks for reading

@Stormtrooper1488 I hate you your disrespectful disgusting and meny more things if u were one of those 25s 24s or 26s and I did it to you how would you feel?
@Stormtrooper1488 everyone and everything has feelings Evan locomotives and the scrapers aren’t has brutal as you think and think of preservation
I gotta say that I am very impressed with this production. Thank you.
I'm equally impressed by Vic Berry's artistic flair with the neat stacks of rolling stock!
For some reason this makes me wanna cry. All those useful engines being scrapped just because they look bad! Yeah they might look terrible, but they are still very helpful and useful.
I spent 30years on the footplate at Penzance were in the seventies these locos were used on freight trains I never heard the term spluts used
Very interesting and informative video.
Wonderful video .. i was feeling a bit down ..but this cheered me up no end .. in fact i was laughing part way through.. good riddance to old junk ..
Sad sight but brilliant music !
so miss them the mixed traffic workhorse and such a regular on the kidsgrove crewe branch line could hear them from my bedroom through the night
The class 25 059 is still in use in 2018
This is enough to make a Grown Man cry
Honestly I almost cried im not kidding.
I'm a big fan of the class 25 locomotive
I grew up in the era of the First Capital Connect class 319 and 377 and the class 150 class 222 meridian and the voyages and the pendolinos and the class 43 HST East Midlands nowadays I see class 700 in Thameslink and the new East Midlands railways Liveries for the class 222 meridian and and viva rails refurbished London Underground d stock trains but I still see class 43 HST the still in the East Midlands colours but in white lettering they say EMR on the side of the the class 43 locomotive
When did they go to scrap
1.33, 2.03, 2.38, 3.01, 3.17, 3.59, 4.15, 5.59 & 6.19 hate to point this out , but that is a Class 26 that is featured (two of them at 5.59 & 6.19), not a Class 25.
Yes I realise it is a Class 26 Number D5343 (26 043). I could not find many decent videos of the Class 25 running. Well done for being so Eagle Eyed.
How did u know?
Because the two classes while outwardly similar in appearance, have subtle differences. Different shaped cab windows. Cab roof mounted route indicators on the Class 25, roof mounted horns boxed in on the Class 26 cab roof. Different arrangement of vents and windows on the body sides. Later variants of the Class 25 had the smaller centre cab window replaced with a full depth window.
Beneath the bodyshell, they used essentially the same engine (6 cylinder Sulzer 6LDA) but at slightly different power ratings 1160hp for the Class 26 and 1250hp for the Class 25. The effect on performance was that the Class 26 hax a max operating speed of 75mph and the Class 25 max speed was 90mph.
Aidankiwi should
it is towing a class 25
wanna know the background sound... so intresting
Aliff Rafik Just search up "sad music" on CZcams and you'll find it

I know that this might be a bit off topic, but My question is, how do the, what looks like chain couplers work, hold up versus the knuckle couplers used in the United States?
clifton meager quite well actually, one link is permanently attached to one vehicle, then you have another link that you put over the hook on the second vehicle, and between the two links, there is a bar with two threads one left handed, one right handed, and a crank bar to turn it. As this bar is turned, it tightens up this 2 like chain, so you don’t end up with free floating railcars.
To be honest, nearly all passenger rolling stock use knuckle couplers anyway, the hook and chain is used to attach the locomotive.
smiffy1071 only coaches after the BR MK2 were fitted with knuckle couplers from standard
Our trains are a lot lighter than trains in USA so our screw link couplers rarely break in service. The knuckle coupler is more commonly known as the buckeye in UK and was first used by the London North Eastern Railway on express trains such as The Flying Scotsman The locomotive Flying Scotsman was fitted with a buckeye coupler on the tender and these began to be fitted as standard to all passenger stock of the Mark 1 design introduced in 1951. The knuckle is held in the horizontal position by a pin which can be removed to lower it, giving access to a hook. This being done to attach a locomotive which were not fitted with knuckles until recently or another vehicle with only a screw link coupler. The big advantage with the knuckle is its ability to hold the train upright in the event of a derailment and help prevent vehicles over riding each other. Freight stock often ran into places with very tight curves. This is a big disadvantage with knuckles as they are hard to couple on curves which is one reason they were retained on most of our freight stock.
cedarcam Flying Scotsman was only fitted with knuckle couplers from 1953 (when she was finally converted from A1 to A3) because by this time the BR MK1's were being tested with them
Ah yes I forgot about the rebuild but knew they were not fitted from new. I mentioned Flying Scotsman in particular as it is such a famous train and locomotive that clifton meager has probably heard of. I know other locomotives were also equipped with them but, I think, only LNER built ones although the Southern railway had also built stock with buckeyes.
while I consider myself a realist, I think what sticks in my craw a little, is the fact these engines were only a little over 20 years old: to me...that's no time at all! Surely these Steel and Iron machines could have been upgraded and re-engined over a period of say, ten years...giving them at least another 30 years of operation? Hard to believe all of them were knackered and worn-out after just 15 years of service or so, hell, I bet quite a few had never paid off their construction costs! Gutting to see Millions of pounds worth of equipment, simply discarded for pennies.
RIP
😭😭😭
My old account if you're wondering
I wonder how mutch it would cost to put one in my garden?
where is this place and what is its name
Don't worry 3 of Class 25 Diesel is Preserved
So. Sad 😢
This video includes a few classes, not just the class 25.
Correct, most of the time the it is a Class 26 featured in motion. The Vic Berry scrapyard shots feature a lot of Class 27s as well as class 25s.
And the 24s
How many 25s are left?
there is 20 left
Rip class 25 from f and e love of usa
Would you like to save this train?
Yes No I dont Know
The Flying Scotsman silly steamies
Sad😭😢
VERY SAD :(
MUITO TRISTE :(
とても悲しい :(
MUY TRISTE :(
To The end
😔So sad
Are there any preserved
Yes there are 20 of the class 25 preserved. There are also several of the other very similar class 24, 26, 27 and 33 in preservation. The Scottish based ones were often called Mc rats. Being small and light weight they make ideal locomotives for our private railways.
cedarcam nice also check out my channel here: czcams.com/channels/6OSVxcr9ahMSicg9BR-Xfw.html
As well as this video czcams.com/video/19EbEiLVJEc/video.html
Thanks. This guy, I have seen his work before Awsome. We had a documentary about him in the 80's which showed him taking his last photo using the remainder of his flashbulbs to recreate one of his photos.
cedarcam nice, wish I could have seen it, also I subbed to your channel
Not only are there quite a few in preservation, but I had the pleasure of driving one (D7612 or 25262 as was) on the South Devon Railway on a Driver Experience Day. It's a bit of an expensive venture - around £350 - but well worth it.
There is become 200 train end of the line on indonesian
I s it Berry's or Barry's scrapyard? I know of the latter, but not the former.
Vic Berry’s Scrapyard was in Leicestershire, Engines were also scrapped at Woodham Brothers Scrapyard also know as Barry Scrapyard in South Wales.
Glasgow Life thank you for the explanation.
Vic berry's scrapyard was in Leicester I remember seeing the coaches all stacked up when was a kid i could see them from the bus when traveling into the city . Access into the yard for trains was on the Leicester to Burton upon Trent line
The site is now yuppy housing and student accommodation. Re-branded as Leicester West End.
tmWayne33 did he have a 2nd location in the city centre? There's a building still bears the name Vic Berry in the brickwork just off the Midland mainline just north of the station.
Think you have got your Class 25 & 26 a bit muddled. Which being a Scottish producer is a bit of an own goal
I know there is a mixture of class 25s and 26s in the video it was hard to get video footage of the class 25 so i used some of the 26. Also the stack is a mixture of locomotives.
And I saw plenty of 24s :( it’s sad because I have a 5” gauge 24 it’s my biggest one and it’s such a great loco that to see vic berrys scrap yard just makes me want to grab all of those locos and take them to preserved railways
So sad :(
Going Loco in Acopulco
it's a shame
This is sad
bruh this video doesnt cure my sadness
