When you log in to TS2015 there is an ADVERT promoting this new route showing a Class 25/0 near Durham.
Hopefully some people won't be complaining to DTG about this Fault/Problem
Peter

From 1972 onwards several 25/0 locos were allocated to Tinsley, so, no problem running up to Darlington on freights and parcels, etc. I can give you the numbers according to my Ian Allen locoshed book.

What fault/problem?.

All the 25/0's (D5151-D5175) were allocated to Thornaby when new, as such I am sure you might have seen the odd one at Durham.

The route is set in ~ 1950 - 1965, with some leeway for some already closed lines still present in the simulator.

Would that fit with a Class 25 running through Durham? (I honestly have NO idea)

[malkymackay]

The 25/0 were built at Darlington during 1961-62, and all new to Thornaby for freight duties. Perfectly reasonable to think they would have worked on the lines west of the ECML.

[TransportSteve]

All the Class 25 locomotives were built between 1961–1967, for your information Tim, so, it should be prototypical for that period, and they were all green until 1965 when the vast majority of BR diesel and electric locos became Blue.

I took it as Peter referring to the *unwanted* background, a la the 'Epic Journeys' complaint----the suggests humour and a wee dig at those who complained.
(if anybody is miffed at having the pic, find the Epic journey complaint thread as I expect the *fix* to be the same)

Hi,
What would be handy is a Green Class 45 peak as some were allocated to Gateshead,so they would be seen on diverted trains between Darlington and Durham.

I have been looking West Auckland shed 51F,on shed 1955,were class2MT 2-6-0,BR2MT 2-6-0,BR3MT,A8,J39,71,72,77,Q6 Or 1954,CL2MT,BR2MT,K1,A8,Q6,J39,21,25,71,72
I thought if you used West Auckland for locomotives it would help as smaller number of locomotives will be needed
Mike

[michaelhendle]

West Auckland shed 51F,had J 21 65078 allocated to it and operated on services to Wearhead,and the Stainmore line to Kirkby Stephen,I have seen a photo of it at Bishop Auckland hauling Ex LNER Teak non corridor coaches.I presume they are Greseley coaches.

I forgot to add the Y1 04-0T they were there in both 1954 and 1955,total number loco's allocated to 51F 1954 35 1955 also 35,but with some different classes of locomotives.

By November 1963 it was down to 18 Locomotives 4MT 43133\38\40\41,BR 3MT 77010,Q6 63344\51\61\98\446,

BR T2 Diesels 5158\63\70\72 and these diesels, D2108 D2304,shed closed 2nd February 1964
