D5501 BR Vert avec SYP
Nouveauté de la 30A Stratford en novembre 1957, la D5501 était seulement la deuxième Type 2 à sortir de l'usine Falcon de Brush à Loughborough, dans le cadre du programme pilote de 20 locomotives. L'entreprise, propriété de Hawker Siddeley, était si fière de ses nouvelles machines A1A-A1A de 1 250 ch que cet exemplaire particulier passa ses premières semaines en exposition dans l'usine de sa société sœur Mirrlees, récemment acquise, à Hazel Grove, où était installé le moteur 12 cylindres turbocompressé JVS12T, installé à l'origine sur cette classe. Principalement limitée à l'East Anglia, avec quelques excursions translondoniennes ou transcontinentales, elle se consacra d'abord au transport express et secondaire de voyageurs, ainsi qu'au transport de colis et de fret, ces derniers occupant une place prépondérante avec l'introduction de diesels plus puissants sur les lignes principales de Great Eastern et de Cambridge. Au milieu des années 1960, la D5501 fut repeinte pour s'harmoniser avec les exemplaires de série de la classe, perdant ses encadrements de fenêtres et ses bandes de carrosserie bleu canard, et c'est ainsi que le modèle Accurascale est représenté. Renumérotée plus tard 31001, elle fut l'une des premières « Toffee Apples » –ainsi nommée en raison de la forme de sa poignée de commande–à être retirée du service. Elle disparut en juillet 1976 avant d'être ferraillée à Doncaster en janvier 1977.

This was my first Accurascale locomotive I have purchased so I was immediately struck by the size and quality of the packing along with the information guides contained as standard. As for the model itself the detail is superb and catches the character of the prototype. All received in excellent condition on schedule. Happy days.
The Models comes in the typical large Box, well protected and looks beautiful. Not only looks good but runs very well and just need to add the details.
Job well done Accurascale!
A few weeks ago I found a photo that my late father took od D5510 at Royston around 1961 maybe, she is almost out of the box probley after a repaint and yellow ends, the photo is in colour and after seeing your fine model I just had to have one
Yet another fantastic model the really captures the look of these locos, the attention to detail on the class 31 is excellent. Running is quite suburb I am really impressed with the overall quality.
As a modeller from the Great Eastern, this was an eagerly anticipated arrival that has delighted. It is superbly detailed and with more than enough power to haul 10 mk10s, to enable me to emulate London to Norwich expresses of the early 60s. Well done Accurascale!
Having purchased the Class 31 last year, Ireordered straight away this model. An amazing model, great level of detail and straight from the box runs lovely at all speeds. Have now carried out running in, such a gem at the slow speeds on my layout, well worth the wait.
Along with the mineral wagons previously purchased, excellent company well worth the 5 stars.
Exceptionally detailed model with superbly applied livery and exquisite interior cab detail. Really captures all the lines of the Class 30/31 locomotives. British Railways Totem really stands out, which is refreshing as the thin lines often disappear into the BR Green on other manufacturers liver application. Smooth and powerful runner with the added peace of mind from the life-time warranty offered by Accurascale: another outstanding model!
I already had D5549, which I thought was Accurascale’s best diesel to date. I had not intended to buy D5501 until I was fortunate enough to get a 30% reduction in the recent event. That made the purchase irresistible.
It ran perfectly out of the box. Thank you Accurascale.
Incredible detail and superb decoration. This is my third Accurascale class 30/31.
Excellent model, great detail, smooth runner
Another quality loco from Accurascale, fabulous detail and finish.
Excellent
STUNNING ! Say no more, this compliments the other 2 with the headcode boxes.
I've had the 1980s Lima models from new, they were good for their time, but these new Accurascale are better in every way. The motor and chassis are to modern standards that we now expect, with neatly concealed DCC electronics, the body and glazing are crisply moulded. Very pleased.
Another excellent model, runs beautifully and looks the business.
Well done all, fabulous work.
Another fine example of your Cl30/31 model. My only regret is I didn't get D5579 also.
