            A PWay relaying job at Kettering Junction and 25270 is on engineer’s duty as it manoeuvres a train of “Dogfish” ballast hoppers over the new S & C, 23rd October 1977. 

Locomotive History
25270 betrays its Scottish Region initial allocation with its cabside recess to accommodate tablet catcher equipment. It was originally D7620 and is one of a batch of thirteen class 25’s (D7611 – D7623) built at Derby in 1966 for Scottish Region duties. These were the only class 25’s delivered with a cabside recess and were allocated to Eastfield MPD. They spent much of their time in South West Scotland, quickly sending many of the remaining steam fleet allocated to Ayr, Hurlford and Dumfries MPD’s into store and withdrawal. D7620 came south to the London Midland Region in mid 1968 being swapped with steam heating boiler fitted class 25’s and by the end of the year was a Toton engine. It would remain a Toton engine for virtually the rest of its career until withdrawn in November 1982. It was broken up in May 1986 at Swindon works.
