0-6-0 Class 25 LYR/LMS Profile and Models

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Class 25 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive. They were introduced to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1876 by new locomotive superintendent William Barton Wright and 280 were built in total. Of these, 230 were later converted to saddle tanks by John Aspinall, to become L&YR Class 23. The locomotives passed briefly to the London and North Western Railway in 1922 and then to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. The LMS gave them the power classification 2F. In 1948, the surviving locomotives (23) passed to British Railways. The last engine, BR 52044 (L&YR 957, LMS 12044) was bought for preservation in 1959 and has been based at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway since 1965. It starred in the film The Railway Children as the Green Dragon.
