This is another of my locos I've bought in advance at a modest price even though my mum still hasn't decided where's she relocating, so I've covered my bases.

I've opted to model a class 31, 31428 North Yorkshire Moors Railway, over a GNER class 91 as it's much more operationally useful in my railway collection.

According to images I've consulted on the web, it was recorded as far south as Rugby and Bletchley on engineering duties.

My choice will represent the loco in refurbished BR blue as running between 1998-1992 and the Lima version (below) will form the basis of that loco
