The real 25081 may have been scrapped in 1982, but it lives on in a smaller scale at the Kerr's Miniature Railway at Arbroath. The little petrol engined loco actually looks more like a Class 27, rather than a 25, which would certainly be more appropriate for Scotland. The 10¼ in gauge loco carries the name Elliot, after the small village to the west of the town. It is pictured here at the West Links Park station on 1 September 2018, during a rather quiet period. The line, which was some way from the centre of Arbroath, unfortunately closed in 2020. |
