32-340 – Class 25/1 25057 BR Blue - Weathered

The locomotive features several grilles along both sides, although the boiler vent grilles have been plated over. The body side steps have also been plated over. 

On the roof, this model has rectangular exhaust and boiler ports, modelled fibreglass panels and a fan. Underneath the body of the locomotive, there is a 510 gallon fuel tank and a 580 gallon water tank between the bogies, with each tank having gauges on the sides.

32-341 – Class 25/2 D5282 BR Two-Tone Green (Small Yellow Panels)

32-341, which depicts Class 25/2 No. D5282 in BR’s Two-Tone Green livery with small yellow panels at each end. This locomotive carries the headcode 1T38 at one end and 9T61 on the other.

The cabs on the Class 25/2 did not have nose end doors, so the bottom edges of the windows are all flush with each other and the horizontal handrail covers the full width of the cab. The lamp bracket has been lowered to be half way between the buffer beam and the handrail.

This locomotive does not have as many grilles along the bodyside; instead, there are two small windows on each side offering a glimpse of the engine compartment which features its own dedicated lighting (when used on DCC). The boiler vent grilles and body side steps have not been plated over, although the boiler filler flap has. 

Along the roof, this model features rows of grilles along the sides, a circular exhaust port, raised roof panels and a fan. On the underside, this locomotive is equipped with a 510 gallon fuel tank with gauge, but does not carry a water tank.
