About the British Rail Class 31
The British Rail Class 31, originally designated the Brush Type 2, was introduced in the late 1950s and became one of Britain's most versatile diesel locomotive classes.
Built by Brush Traction, the class worked a wide variety of passenger, freight and departmental services across the British railway network.
During the 1980s, many Class 31 locomotives were associated with freight and engineering operations, with the Railfreight Red Stripe livery becoming a familiar sight.
This model of 31247 is particularly suitable for OO Gauge layouts depicting the British Rail sectorisation era, including freight yards, mixed-traffic routes and diesel depots.
Detailing and Packaging
A detailing pack is included with the locomotive.
The model is supplied in an older-style Hornby box, which shows some shelf wear associated with age, handling and storage.
