Class 31 - D5803

When the last, very well known Model Railway manufacturer produced the Class 31, was welcomed with open arms; Only criticism I had of those, the occasional model would run askew?
The 30/31 Class were really a BO BO with a centre non-driven floating axle with a smaller diameter wheel which is what Accurascale have faithfully produced with this fantastic model.

Super detail, runs like a Swiss watch. A reasonable price. What more can you ask for?

This is yet another fantastic model the really captures the look of these locos, the attention to detail on the class 31 is excellent. I am really impressed with the overall quality.

Appearance, performance and features excellent. If you buy the dcc ready model and upgrade using the Accurathrash sound kit though, remember to reset the small switches on the main circuit board to suit the decoder before putting the body back on as the speaker covers them and you can't reach them to change them with the roof hatch off!

I already have 5544 in blue so was already aware of the superb quality and accuracy but a green version was always considered to support my fleet for 34G.
Having purchased 5674 based on having been once allocated to Finsbury Park I was disappointed that my research had let me down and the model was unsuitable for my period.
Accurascale agreed to correct my mistake, without question and swapped the model for one of 5803 with FYE and arrows of indecision. This will become 5610 which was a Finsbury Park resident.
The fit and finish of the model is superb and represent the prototype beautifully.
The running is smooth and silent with sound off. With sound on the model comes alive. It is wonderful and will look the part on a rake of six blue, mk 1 suburban coaches.
I'd have more if I had the room.
Thanks.

Wasn't really after a class 31 being a western region modeller but the more I read, and knowing Accurascale great reputation, the more I considered I could fit one in. Striking model, glad I purchased.

I ordered from your pages on a Sunday and it arrived at my house on Tuesday morning. Great service again,the engine runs so smoothly and highly accurate to the real thing !!!! .a very nice model to go with my blue 31248 version.

The level of detail is exceptional, very high quality finish. Having run it in on a rolling road, the loco performs faultlessly. Overall, delighted with the class 31.

An excellent model that looks and sounds fantastic

Accurascale Class 31's are stunning locos and D5803 in Green with a full yellow panel was an excellent choice by accurascale as I have seen images of this loco with full yellow panel from 1969 to 1973 so a good choice.
