The 1,250hp Mirrlees Type 2s were not uprated like their ˜production™ colleagues and along with the English Electric Type 1s and Type 4s were among the most reliable of the pilot scheme locomotives, albeit underpowered. In those early years of dieselisation they could be found working everything from express trains out of Liverpool Street to Clacton, Norwich, Cambridge and King™s Lynn, block freights from Essex onto the Western and Southern Regions, busy holiday services to Great Yarmouth, Hunstanton and Lowestoft and pick-up wagonload services on the region™s extensive pre-Beeching branch line network. In April 1959 it was one of eight members of the small fleet to transfer to 31B March, although it was back at Stratford by the following December. D5503 wears its distinctive original paint scheme with ˜eggshell™ blue window surrounds and bodyside stripes which was only applied to the D5500-D5519. This lasted into the early 1960s before the small fleet started to gain the small yellow panels and were repainted into the same ˜production™ livery as carried by our model of D5501 in the second run. Renumbered 31003 in March 1974 it lasted into the final year of the type and was withdrawn in February 1980 along with 31005. It was quickly moved to Doncaster Works where it was cut up five months later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eCLASS 31 Common Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eHighly-detailed OO gauge model, 1:76.2 scale on 16.5mm track\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eMinimum Radius 438mm (2nd Radius Set-track)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eHeavy Die-cast metal chassis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eOne truck (bogie) styles with separate footsteps, brake cylinders, speed recorder and end brake rigging\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eRP25-110 profile OO gauge wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eBrake blocks on bogies in line with wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eScale width wire handrails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eEtched metal\/plastic detail parts, incl. grab handles, steps, wipers, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eEtched metal roof grille\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eEtched metal pre-painted nameplates, plaques and arrows (if applicable)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eAccurate high-fidelity miniature snowploughs, chassis fitted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eFull underbody battery box\/air tank detail with pipework\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eExtra cab front details for Network Rail locomotives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eFully sprung buffers, multiple pipework variations and screw couplings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eKinetic NEM coupler mounts at correct height with mini-tension-lock couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eDeluxe Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e  \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"\"\u003eAll models feature a fully working, scale speed roof fan, that will run on DC and DCC.
