Class 25 Locomotive Performance"I don't think they're going to make it ..."and said by so many people, so many times during 1983! |
|
These pages list the timing logs I made of Class 25 loco performance during the 80's. Naturally the Cambrian and Talerddig incline in particular provide the majority of these logs but I do have some from other parts of the country as you can see. If you want to know how these train timings were turned into performance figures then select the Timing Trains link (but of course it's all maths, smoke and mirrors stuff!). If you want to know more about the construction details of the different sub-classes, including individual locomotive build and withdrawal dates then select the Technical Details link. |
