Blue Brians - Class 31 Production Update

[Warbonnet]

With our Class 66 now arriving, attention turns to the next locomotives due to arrive in stock with us this summer, and it's a two horse race between the next batch of Class 37s, and indeed our very first batch of our next all new diesel locomotive; the Class 31.

We're delighted that we can now show you the first images of our production sample Class 31s. We teased a glimpse of 5544 at the recent Model World Live event at the NEC and at our "takeover" day at Rails of Sheffield, but now we can show you some of it's glorious blue stablemates which makes up the Batch One delivery. 

As can be seen in these images, our production team and factory have nailed the distinctive looks of this characterful class lof locos; with the distinctive face and subtle bodyside curve, not captured in ready to run models of this class since the Airfix model many, many years ago. 

We have inspected and tested these models and are delighted to announce that they are now signed off and about to head our way. As announced previously, BR Blue will make up the first delivered batch, with our BR Green and later BR sector liveries to make up Batch Two and our limited editions including our Network Rail pair to arrive in Batch Three. 

We can now confirm that the BR Blue Class 31s that make up batch one will arrive in stock with us in mid/late July as their ship bound for the UK edges ever closer. We will have news on the arrival of Batch Two and Three in the coming weeks.

We are currently sold out direct, so please check with your local Accurascale stockist for availability. We will also have some surplus stock go back on sale when pre-orders are fulfilled, so make sure you sign up to our email notifications on your preferred 31 so you will be notified when stock becomes available!
