Ben B Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I've never really been a fan of the 31's as a design, but when this rather wonderful-looking machine visited the KWVR for a gala a few years ago, I was sold, at least on this loco in the research livery; still need to add a model of it to my collection...

John Tomlinson Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) Whilst on the subject of preservation, the Golden Ochre 31 at Loughborough has been an attraction for years. It is D5830, not D5579 which was the original for BR in the early 60's. A view here from their 2012 Diesel Gala. Click on the picture for details, and there are more views in the Flickr album referenced to the right of the text.
