| Seen inside the shed at Lillie Bridge on 5th March 2009, battery loco L25 looks as though it has recently been repainted. Built by Metro-Cammell in 1965, this example retains a full set of side louvres (unlike similar L23 in the background). Note the retracted buffers, drop-head buckeye coupling, and screw-link coupling kept on a hook to the left. | |||

| Note added Thu 19/03/2009 by Kim Rennie Isn't the presence/absence of the centre body plain panel dependent on which side you're looking at? Isn't it a hinged flap which is opened to allow the batteries to be removed? |
| Note added Tue 31/03/2009 by Kevin Bullions The louvered panels are all done one side of all batches of locos, whereas the other side has the plain panels, these plain panels are where the main isolator, circuit breakers and so on are, as this equipment is wall mounted, this is why the panels are plain. If you are looking at the 'D' end of the loco, the plain panels should be down the left hand side as you look at it. Its of note that the picture of 25 that Kim has taken shows one of our recent repaints, and is very much our 'show loco'!!! Note of interest is the window in the middle door above the number, this has been made to withstand impact by having a tougher frame and armoured glass. |
| Note added Tue 31/03/2009 by Thomas Young Thanks for the updates gents. Locos aren't my strong point! I do have a photo of the interior of a battery loco and I will publish this shortly. |
