amounts of information regarding Class 25 locomotives or passenger train
workings from this era. I highly recommend the following sites for
your further research or enjoyment.

| Fotopic Sites |
In 2011 Fotopic ceased trading and the following photographic sites disappeared. It
is worth checking other photographic locations, such as Flickr, for
these photographers as they had interesting pictures on their sites. |
| Andrew Bannister |
Lineside photographs from the scenic lines of North and Mid-Wales. |
| Richard
Boyd |
Photographs from the Manchester
area |
| Brian
Daniels |
Lots of
pictures from 78 & 79. Mainly 3/4 views but worth viewing the
photographs of 76s as well as the Type 2s! |
| Geoff Griffiths |
Good selection of photographs from the late 70s and early 80s, including some from the Cambrian. |
| Ian Hammond |
Class 24's and 25's site with 500+ photographs in work and preservation |
| Mike Hollick |
My favourite purely photographic site.
Lots of freight train action from their last days in service. |
| Steve Kemp |
Over 120 pictures of Class 25s at work from the late 70s onwards. |
| Alan Lea |
Mainly photographs from South
Wales |
| Chris
Caley |
Electric locos - I loved them
on the many West Coast 'overnights' I had to do in my time. These are
well worth viewing for a more contemporary view. |
