Class 31 - 31432

Beautiful model with all the details modelled perfectly

Great looking, well priced very highly detailed model that runs well straight from the box. Fantastic interior detail aswell. I feel the tension lock coupling is too large and doesn't match their other wagons-its nem so can be easily changed. The magnetic roof pannel is difficult to remove and I ended up scratching the paint off the handles while trying to open it. The fan doesn't work out of the box you need to set the dip switches first -I purched the DC version and have now fitted a sound decoder- still need to sort the functions out as the lights don't work correctly even when the dip switches are set as instructed-still work in progress. Get one while you can!

I knew this locomotive was going to be good but it is exceptional. The detail, paint finish, working roof fan etc are superb and once you fit a crew or two in my case, it comes alive with the most realistic sound I have heard in a model locomotive. The cold start is brilliant and I love it. You can hear mine on U Tube on John Brown9092.

This must be a contender for model of the year, from its shape to the detail and separately fitted parts that make the model to the exemplary sounds. Definitely captures the real thing in miniature. Very impressed.

Now the benchmark for Class 31 models

Another superb model

At last someone has released an accurate version of the class 31! Being introduced to the class since childhood, I am familiar with the class and this just screams class 31! One of my favourite models of all time. I have since purchased 128 and have the mainline one on preorder. The detail is insane, including the legible "Hoffmann" on thr axleboxes. The sound, sounds like a 31. Just need some MK2C Coahes to go with her! Well done accurascale 👍💯

I’m running out of superlatives for Accurascale now!! Another truly amazing model that completely captures the real thing down to a T!!

Even head to head with a rival manufacturer it’s no contest this wins hands down!

Really looking forward to my Railfreight one arriving later in the year and if you don’t own one of these yet DO IT! It’s a definite must have model!!

Accurascale have absolutely nailed there new class 31, looks and sounds superb. 🤞 for some original railfreight & coal sector ones in there next lot il certainly be having a few more

Shame about the fragility of the ETH cables (which were a pain to deal with when adding crew) fortunately I was able to buy replacements for the ones that broke! Be good if they were made from a more flexible material. Apart from that, spot on ;-) I like a bit of BR Blue and many memories of these around the North West

I am reliving my youth with this loco in the north on haulage cops … great sound and performance. Livery well applied and love the little touches too great work team.

31432 is a superb model capturing the detail of the real loco well. This was a regular on parcels and club trains on the Furness line so an easy choice for me. Well done Accurascsle

Simply the best version of this locomotive produced. High quality, brilliant finish. More please!

Best class 31 by far…

This must be the best Class 31 modelled and this loco looks like it has just emerged from The Plant after overhaul. The details are exquisite and the paint job well applied. I am looking forward to adding to the fleet in the future.

These 31s really capture the look of the prototype. Lovely

Another stunning new release from Accurascale. Visually, it looks just like an everyday, banger blue loco - just as it should do.

Some of the quirks that blighted the first couple of loco releases have now been irons out - i'm thinking those chains on the class 55... body removal with the 31 couldn't be more simple. Once inside, everything is where it should be and easy to deal with. Fitting of the crew took all of 2 minutes. Fitting the buffer beam detail took all of 10 minutes, with no issues at all.

Another marvellous addition from Accurascale and now I can't wait for the arrival of my Network Rail 31 in the New Year.

A really impressive little beast - accurately proportioned detail and a look that captures the face and body profile very nicely. The loco is a smooth, effortless runner and the livery application is fantastic - great colours and sharp printing in all the right places. Highly recommended!

The BR blue 31/4 is an absolutely superb model of the ‘Goyle’.

The eyepatch (reinforced drivers window) is an especially nice edition which hasn’t been model previously on an RTR loco.

Already looking forward to receiving the two others that’s I have on preorder

Beautiful brilliant model. Smooth running at all speeds. I haven’t taken the body off and I doubt I will after the nightmare I had with the Deltics. Hopefully things have improved since then. It’s perfect just the way it is. Running on analogue.

Excellent

I held off purchase of a Class 31 many years ago and was delighted to see Accurascale announce these. Whilst there was plenty of choice of Class 31 models none of them were an ideal fit for me which still niggles me a bit but did not wish to miss having an example - this being the closest. Overall it is a superb looking model which captures the look of the real thing really well. As with all other Accurascale locomotives this one doesn't disappoint - can't wait for the 50's.

Very impressive model, it’s detail, sound and running qualities are fantastic.

The detail on 31432 is just exquisite, the shape looks spot on and it runs and sounds well. Only minor gripe is some parts displaced in transit - no. 2 end coupler, ETH jumper, second mans side windscreen wiper and speedo cable all knocked off, but in the packaging, so able to be refitted. Otherwise really pleased with the loco.
