Class 31 - 31432

The details and workmanship are superb. The operating fan is the real deal, no DCC sound file needed, but actual fan motor! Even keeps the chips cool.
Keep up the good work.

Another superb model

My third Accurascale diesel and another excellent model. Packed with detail and features Built & finished to industry-leading standards, in my opinion. A superb runner, powerful and quiet. All for a very reasonable price. Other manufacturers, take note!

This is another superb model from Accurascale, but with a couple of minor niggling errors (missing handles on the roof and holes in bogies), hence only 4 stars. Otherwise, this would be a stunning model and in my view far better captures the look and character of the class than any of the competition. The paint finish is excellent and allows the crispness of the detail to stand out. The DCC sound set-up is also superior both in terms of the recording, play value and the fact that the chases can accommodate a larger EM1 type speaker. If the minor issues mentioned above can be resolved before the remaining batches leave the factory, this would definitely be a 5 start plus model.

The Accurascale BR Class 31 is a highly detailed and well-executed model that captures the essence of this iconic locomotive. The inclusion of directional lighting, switchable red and white marker lights, and separately fitted detailing parts such as wire metal handrails, etched metal roof grille, grab handles, steps, and sprung buffers adds to its realism.

The model runs smoothly and the attention to detail is impressive, with an accurate livery and finely crafted components. The model is excellent value for money, making it an excellent addition to any collection.

Overall, the Accurascale BR Class 31 is a fantastic representation of the real locomotive, offering both visual appeal and reliable performance. Its so good, I have two in my collection.

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 👍💯

Outstanding

What a model. I’m not a fan of 31’s but thought one would be nice. It’s superb. I don’t think I have a better model, can’t wait for those 50’s!😁

I only had the hornby 31 previously which I felt was a decent model but this is a total step up in terms of running, tooling and the sounds are amazing. Thoroughly recommended.

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!!
