Airfix GMR (Great Model Railways) 54101 Class 31 D5531 in BR green

 

The British Rail Class 31 (aka Brush Type 2) locomotives were produced following the launch of the Class 20 and were one of the pilot scheme designs by British Railways which were intended to replace steam locomotives. Originally destined for the Eastern region, the class became known for working on both the Western and London Midland regions too, working even further afield later in life. Throughout their life, the class saw several modifications and five different subclasses existed. The class held a long and varied lifespan, working a variety of local and express passenger sevices, freight and engineer trains - with some locomotives working on the mainline as late as 2017.

 

This engine is in good second-hand condition with no major blemishes or marks.  The coupler from the front has been removed, the other is in place along with all glazing and buffers.

 

It has been fully serviced and tested and is a good runner in both directions.
