MT 25 was recoded from APL 20 in 1928, it lasted until 1940 when it was recoded to BCPL 1. At least 2 photos exist of this car attached to RM 55, at the time RM 55 was all 2nd class and as can be seen, MT 25 was all 1st class. Dedicated PERM/DERM trailers did not arrive until Aug. 1930. Photo date 1928.
