These pages list the timing logs I made of Class 25 loco performance during the 80's. Naturally the
Cambrian and Talerddig incline 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
my train timings were turned into performance figures then select the
Timing Trains link (but of course it's all maths, smoke and mirrors). If
you want to know a bit more about the build and technical characteristics of the different Class 25 locomotives, including their
build and withdrawal dates then select the Technical Details
link.
