The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Class 25 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive. They were introduced in 1876 by new locomotive superintendent William Barton Wright and 280 were built in total. 230 were later converted to saddle tanks by John Aspinall.
The first was withdrawn in 1930 but the class remained intact until 1959. The last one, 52044 (L&YR 957) was bought for preservation in 1959 and has been based at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway since 1965. It starred in the film The Railway Children as the Green Dragon. It was out of service from 1975 but was returned to steam in 2001.
