Accurascale have added more locomotives to their upcoming range of Class 31 Locomotives, details are below.
Developed from detailed surveys of numerous examples of the real thing, as well as a 3D scan and an extensive range of works drawings, this model aims to be the definitive representation model of the classic BR mixed traffic design and covers almost every detail variant that existed throughout their 65-year life. The modular tooling can be adapted to represent nearly all variations of this long-lived class from their as-built appearance right through to the present day.
