371-136 RJ – Class 31/1 31130 Calderhall Power Statio

Description

Announcements, we are delighted to present this Sales Area Exclusive N scale Class 31 Diesel Locomotive. This model, which will be available from retailers in Scotland, the North East and North West of England, and North Yorkshire, depicts Refurbished Class 31/1 No. 31130 ‘Calder Hall Power Station’ in the Triple Grey livery of BR Railfreight with Coal Sector branding.

This Graham Farish Class 31/1 sports all the hallmarks of a refurbished machine with its bufferbeam cowling and bodyside band removed, headcode boxes plated over and radio pods present above each cab. The attractive BR Railfreight livery is faithfully applied and, being a coal sector loco, it may come as a surprise to learn that the locomotive was actually named after a nuclear power plant, for the coal sector was also responsible for resourcing nuclear traffic and No. 31130 is named after the Calder Hall plant in Cumbria.

With a Next18 DCC decoder socket and pre-fitted speaker, the marker and tail lights are added to by the high intensity headlights fitted at each end – all of which are functional, of course. If you’re considering adding sound to your model, why not take the easy option and opt for a SOUND FITTED model with pre-fitted sound decoder and bring your layout to life with sound straight out of the box.
