But I'd like to think that many of those might not be so particular on the detail differences, and that there are more people that would prefer it to be correct for its BR career when it actually pulled trains. I suspect there is an element in this debate about whether the particular loco was in service when the buyer was alive and maybe had seen it. I have bought a couple of steam locos in pre-grouping liveries as they are preserved, but I would not really be interested in buying if in an early livery that is/was not carried in preservation. In terms of electrics and diesels, if they were around in my spotting/bashing days, then I want those liveries not how they appear now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of… I suspect many buyers will want to run it.. but if its never run as its appeared, that kind of goes against the grain, unless your into doodarlallies like GT3 in blue (Note IC/BR blue APT-Es are discounted currently). Adb968003 by Heljan seemed like a poor seller, it was a static carriage heating unit, but the model was motorized. flip side to that Heljans Ethels are unmotorised and see the bargain bins often too, they too couldnt propel themselves in real life. You’d have to be in your 70’s to have memories of DP1 on front of a train, yets its been a very popular model, being in the correct livery I suspect is a big part of that. i’m not sure anyones made a model of 92220 in preserved condition, and i’d be fascinated to see a working model of 35029 in its current condition ! Sure many dont care, but i’m minded that several look for that tenious link to reality in rule 1 running somewhere, and those numbers could be the difference between that 100 or so left selling out or sticking on a shelf.

Food for thought but 31018 hasnt run since the class 66’s first arrived. It was preserved when class 56’s were new. At the NRM as a kid I always thought it least interesting, as there was 31’s everywhere and they were not endangered. As for red circle, my guess is as theres only 2 locos left and most people wont have had either for haulage, such a working would be very highly loaded.

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted March 16, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2023 It’s a shame they’ve not done a version of 31018 in its original green livery as it was in the 80s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alan Oliver Posted March 16, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 16, 2023 It was 1997 when 31018 worked at the ELR, must have been repainted best part of 20 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very probably, but there are collectors out there as well as modellers, some of which buy several versions of a new model, including prenat. In my little world the vast majority have to be in BR liveries ranging from 1960 to 1975. I dont have GWR or LMS as it just doesnt work for me. But thats just me and good job we are all different. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covkid Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Just looked at the class 31 page on the Accurascale site and notice all class31 variants are shown as sold out except for 31407 and 31466. Also note that only those two have the Accurathrash logo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
