31466 - EWS - Exklusivt


Inför den landmärke Totons öppna dag i augusti 1998 var det en rasande aktivitet bakom kulisserna på English Welsh & Scottish Railway när företaget gick åt helvete för läder för att visa upp en mer entusiastvänlig utsikt med en rad utställningar med Wisconsin Central-inspirerade rödbruna och guldfärgade färgscheman. En av höjdpunkterna under evenemanget var Bescots 31466, som bar sin nya EWS-livry väl trots att den byggdes långt tillbaka 1959! En stamgäst på frakt- och infrastrukturarbeten, flyttade den till Old Oak Common i maj 1999 innan den slutligen lagrades i början av 2001. Lyckligtvis förvärvades den för konservering 2007 av Dean Forest Diesel Association och togs snart i bruk igen, och gruppen fick tillstånd att behålla loket i EWS-färger. Dess för närvarande baserad på Severn Valley Railway där den ser regelbunden användning.

EWS Class 31

Another superb model from Accurascale. I was lucky to get one very late in the stock available. It runs beautifully and has joined my Class 31 in Regional Railways, also from Accura.

What a superb model EWS 31466 is, nice to have another EWS livery loco in the fleet.
Whilst 31466 was on the Severn Valley Railway, I was able to see this loco running their on a number of occasions. So nice to own this in model form.

Best rendition of EWS livery in model form

The livery application is incredible, with a beautiful rich shade of EWS red and crisply printed lettering and numbers, through to the intricate 'three beasties' logo - I have not seen such a good application of EWS colours yet in any scale, fantastic. The model itself is a great smooth runner and brimming with additional details, thoroughly pleased with this purchase!

Class 31 (31466) EWS

This is my second purchase of the Accurascale Class 31 Diesel Locomotive. The detail on this model is of a very high standard and it has a very attractive EWS livery. The model had sufficient packaging to avoid damage in transit. The delivery time from DPD was excellent. Overall, I am very impressed with my latest purchase from Accurascale.

Excellent!

Ordered upon the announcement and the wait was well worth it! The model is fantastic and really happy with finish. Really impressed with the amount of additional detail that can be optionally fitted too. Another great release.

EWS 31 466

Is this the best rendition of a model of a Class 31 in OO? Having a number of the later Hornby models, by comparison the Accurascale model is streets ahead with its superior paint finish, detailing, running and looks.
I am going to have to save up to try and fund a couple more of them to add to the collection.
