In 1978 E1525 was modified for experiments in high speed traction by re-gearing the traction motors and installing Scheffel bogies and a streamlined nose cone. In this configuration it reached a speed of 245 kilometres per hour (152 miles per hour) on 31 October 1978, a still unbeaten world speed record on Cape gauge. Apart from the narrower stirrup step below the side doors of Series 3 number E1345 and earlier locomotives, Series 3 to Series 5 locomotives are visually indistinguishable from each other.

Henschel and Son built one locomotive complete with tender, number 3451, while North British Locomotive Company built the rest of the Class 25 locomotives, numbers 3452 to 3540. The Class 25NC is the non condensing version of the Class 25 condensing locomotive, of which fifty were placed in service at the same time. Between 197; and 1980 all but three of the condensing locomotives were converted to non condensing and also classified as Class 25NC. In the process their condensing tenders were also rebuilt to ordinary coal-and-water tenders by removing the condensing radiators and roof fans and replacing it with a massive round-top water tanm.
