Class 31 Photos


Recommended Posts

The 31s have never been my most photographed locos, but I've got enough to split this over a couple of posts so we'll look at Network Rail workings first. Not necessarily yellow locos, but the coaching stock will be!

Here's part 2 with a few less yellow 31s...

31190 heads down Fairwood Junction working 6Z56 Totton - Crediton with the Swedish Railvac in tow 21/10/13

31601 is hardly taxed with a single mk3 in tow working 5Z32 Wembley - Bristol Barton Hill, taking a Chiltern Railways carriage for overhaul 12/10/12

 

IMG_3251-31601-5Z34-XL.jpg

31601 passes Callow Hill with single Chiltern Mk3 10271 in tow, making a distinctive English Electric rumble, despite the downhill run with a light load on 5Z34 Bristol Barton Hill - Wembley 30/1/15

 

As I mentioned previously I haven't got a lot of class 31 photos, but what I have got are here http://joalder.smugmug.com/Trains/Class-By-Class/Class-31

I like this one I got it in a collection of negatives(with copyright), more for the general bits and bobs of stuff around the 31s, the barrel, weeds, white backs on the buffer stops all good stuff to model.

31128 looking decidely unhealthy. A good one to model for those of us who have trouble getting transfers on straight as well
