Klass 31 - D5803

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.

A beautifully crafted piece of art. It’s almost too good to take out the box and like a precious work of art should be handled wearing white gloves. An astonishing achievement and very well done indeed.

Great model eith fine detail. Super runner.

Arrived complete , undamaged & no bits in box , lovely model that captures the class 31 look , ran in (30 mins each way) and is as silent and smooth as my 5544 , another excellent model ,just waiting for NRM exclusive to complete my trio, and my three class 50s.
