Announced as part of our Winter 2022 British Railway Announcements, we are delighted to present this Sales Area Exclusive N scale Class 31 Diesel Locomotive. This model, which will be available from retailers in Scotland, the North East and North West of England, and North Yorkshire, depicts Refurbished Class 31/1 No. 31130 ‘Calder Hall Power Station’ in the Triple Grey livery of BR Railfreight with Coal Sector branding.

This Graham Farish Class 31/1 sports all the hallmarks of a refurbished machine with its bufferbeam cowling and bodyside band removed, headcode boxes plated over and radio pods present above each cab. The attractive BR Railfreight livery is faithfully applied and, being a coal sector loco, it may come as a surprise to learn that the locomotive was actually named after a nuclear power plant, for the coal sector was also responsible for resourcing nuclear traffic and No. 31130 is named after the Calder Hall plant in Cumbria.

Features of this model included the marker and tail lights, plus the high intensity headlights fitted at each end – all of which are functional, of course. Suitable for use on DCC or analogue control straight out of the box, this SOUND FITTED model will take your enjoyment to the next level with its authentic sound effects which only enhance the model’s good looks!

 

Description

371-167TL Graham Farish Class 37/5 Diesel Locomotive number 37 502 British Steel Teeside BR Red Stripe Railfreight livery

The Class 37 is a favourite for many and the Graham Farish model captures the unmistakable look of the 37, with this version correctly exhibiting the characteristics of a refurbished loco – most notably the flush ends where the headcode boxes have been removed, and the fitting of a high intensity headlight which is operational, of course. The Railfreight Red Stripe livery is certainly eye catching, with the grey body contrasting against the yellow and black nose ends, along with the prominent red stripe at solebar level. The large logo and running number stand out on the bodyside, whilst the nameplate and Kingfisher monogram complete what is a very attractive model indeed.
