However, when the paintjob was first rolled out on the Class 31s as they left Doncaster after Heavy General Overhaul from March 1985 only the red bufferbeams were carried over, the red lower body band not being introduced until January 1987 on 31188. Over the next 13 months, 36 other ‘refurbished’ machines were outshopped by the ‘Plant’ in the same ‘red stripe’ scheme with Bescot’s 31301 re-entering traffic after its makeover in June 1987. This had been new as D5834 to 41A Tinsley in March 1962 but spent most of the 1980s yo-yoing between the Eastern and London Midland Regions. When the locomotive fleets were divided into sectorised pools in the second half of that decade 31301 was initially allocated to departmental work, later joining Stratford FAGS aggregate pool, before returning to infrastructure work in the early 1990s. This became restricted to weekend work from 1992 along with several periods of store and around three years later it worked for the last time. A potential reprieve came in September 1999 when it was sold to Fragonset with the intention of re-instating it to traffic. Unfortunately this never took place and after hanging on for over a decade it met its fate at CF Booth, Rotherham, in February 2011.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__info-wrapper block w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ProductInfo-template--25575232995715__main\" data-section=\"template--25575232995715__main\" data-url=\"\/products\/class-60-gbrf-60021\" class=\"product__info-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__blocks accordion-parent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__block product__block--price\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"price-template--25575232995715__main\" role=\"status\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"f-price f-price--large f-price--sold-out\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"f-price__regular\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed OO gauge model, 1:76.2 scale on 16.5mm track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius 438mm (2nd Radius Set-track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate footsteps, brake cylinders, speed recorder and end brake rigging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP25-110 profile OO gauge wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake blocks on bogies in line with wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale width wire handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal\/plastic detail parts, incl. grab handles, steps, wipers, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal roof grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal pre-painted nameplates, plaques and arrows (if applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate high-fidelity miniature snowploughs, chassis fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull underbody battery box\/air tank detail with pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully sprung buffers, multiple pipework variations and screw couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinetic NEM coupler mounts at correct height with mini-tension-lock couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC ready with PowerPack capacitor for uninterrupted power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC ready [21-Pin MTX Socket] or factory-fitted with Original ESU LokSound 5 Decoder options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully detailed Lighting Pack features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting, DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighting clusters with appropriate day and night-time settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Red and white marker lights (red can be switched individual lights or both on)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately switched cab lighting and illuminated, driver’s desk with auto\/off on movement.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"f-price__regular\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-tr even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-td tfv1-label\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-data\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-tr odd tfv1-vis-first\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-td tfv1-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-td tfv1-value\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-data\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eModel Length 281mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tfv1-data\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel Weight - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"metafield-number_decimal\"\u003e800\u003c\/span\u003e g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Accurascale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56782482047349,"sku":"ACC3185-DCC","price":284.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/5932\/9844\/files\/Screenshot2026-02-24at08.39.55.png?v=1771922431","url":"https:\/\/malcsmodels.co.uk\/products\/accurascale-class-31-railfreight-construction-no-31271-dcc-sound-fitted","provider":"Malcs Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
