Undoubtably the most daring and vibrant privatisation livery applied to a locomotive and rolling stock - here’s a memorable train for 4mm:1ft scale / OO gauge that’ll embolden your collection!

Cause a stir and brighten-up your model landscape with our exclusive miniatures of Class 31, 31601 The Mayor of Casterbridge and accompanying Mk. 2F coaches in the bright, hot pink colours of the Wessex Trains franchise.
 
With ‘Pink Panther’ levels of suaveness, these all-new exclusives for ‘OO’ benefit from Bachmann Europe’s forthcoming, further revised, cutting-edge Class 31 tooling which now features a ‘Bach-up’ stay-alive system and all-wheel electrical pick-up.
Owing to a shortage of multiple units, from May 2004, Wessex Trains hired Fragonset Railways to provide ‘top-and-tail’ motive power to a set of Mk. 2 coaches for services under the Heart of Wessex Rail Partnership, between Bristol and Weymouth.
To coincide with the launch, Fragonset’s 31601 and five Mk. 2 coaches were repainted into this stunning pink livery, whipping rail enthusiasts and the railway media into a frenzy, while the covers of print media and lineside photography instantly became more colourful.
In this dazzling livery, 31601 also saw use on evening specials running to Glastonbury Festival, many spot-hire services, Network Rail Overhead Line Electrification (OLE) trains from Finsbury Park - even running light-engine as far north as Inverness to Carlisle on route learning for Serco!
