RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) And finally, for now, 31414 at Didcot East Junction with the 1106 Birmingham New Street to Reading on November 16th 1989. This was a regular Class 31 job; the loco and stock went back as the 1334 to Manchester. Edited January 10, 2015 by Western Aviator 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Indeed, I did, but they were all the same. I have a policy of not having identical locos anymore, other than, er 47s Having said that it would be hard to do I think as Hornby released 31111 as a blue skinhead, but you'd have to be careful as that was one of the rotten ones, or repaint 105 from rail freight grey. What I really need is a 50..... You should be safe using a 31111 Rob- I don't believe that these were ones affected by chassis rot. My 111 (with a chassis swap) is now 31450 with it's armoured windscreen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-e Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 How about this then an ETH 31/0 31013 at Stratford Open day 14/07/1979 At this time the 31 31013 was converted to a mobile ETH generator you can see the ETH plug behind the right hand buffer. Its departmental number was ADB968013 Cheers Steve 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was the driver on 31439 when it was named at Grosmont, it was named by the actor Ian Carmicheal. At the time i had no idea who he was. But he seemed a very nice chap and insisted on having his photo taken with me 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Cheese Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 31's were something that rarely crossed my path back in the day, rather a shame as I quite liked their robust ugliness and they made a change from my usual diet of 33/47/73's around Eastleigh. This shot of an unidentified blue 31/4 at Reading is the only one I recall taking, there may be a couple more somewhere but I'd have to go through about 40 packs of prints in the hope of finding them... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium richierich Posted January 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I have few class 31 pictures, but here are a couple... 31190.jpg Not an everyday location for a 31 - 31190 stabled at Fort William. Again don't know the date - probably c2003 The VEAs or Vanfits in the foreground are intriguing? Edited January 20, 2015 by richierich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
