Rapido Trains UK offer an OO‑scale (1:76) model of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Class 25 “Ironclad” 0‑6‑0 steam locomotive, numbered 12015 and supplied in LMS livery. The model is listed under part number 817005 and represents the era of the British “Big Four” railway companies.

The locomotive is built to run on 2nd‑radius curves of 438 mm or greater and includes a L&Y‑style smokebox door, a single boiler handrail and Ramsbottom safety valves. It is equipped with a core‑less motor and flywheel, a 21‑pin decoder socket in the tender, a large tender‑mounted speaker and MoPower stay‑alive circuitry. Additional electrical features comprise plunger locomotive pickups, tender wheel‑bearing pickups, dynamic firebox flicker and NEM pockets both front and rear.

Historically, the real Class 25 engines were introduced from 1876 to 1887, with 280 examples built by Kitson, Sharp, Stewart, Vulcan, Beyer Peacock and the L&Y’s own works. Designed for freight but also used for mixed traffic, they were nicknamed “Ironclad”. The class survived into the LMS as 2F, with the last member withdrawn in 1959; one example, No. 957 “Green Dragon”, remains preserved on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

Rapido’s rendition will be available in several liveries, including versions that reflect different periods of the locomotive’s preservation history. The model is suitable for collectors and railway modellers seeking an accurate representation of this long‑served British steam engine.
