31466 - EWS - Exclusive


Ahead of the landmark Toton open day in August 1998 there was furious activity behind the scenes at English Welsh & Scottish Railway as the company went hell for leather to show off a more enthusiast-friendly outlook with range of exhibits wearing the Wisconsin Central-inspired maroon and gold paint scheme. One of the highlights of the event was Bescot's 31466, that wore its new EWS livery well despite being built way back in 1959! A regular on freight and infrastructure work, it moved to Old Oak Common in May 1999 before finally being stored at the start of 2001. Happily it was acquired for preservation in 2007 by the Dean Forest Diesel Association and soon put back into service, the group gaining permission to retain the locomotive in EWS colours. Its currently based at the Severn Valley Railway where it sees regular use.

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.

EWS Class 31.

These 31s just get better having 3 in total. Runs well as all these locos do and stands out in EWS livery. Having seen its big sister on the NYMR so nice to have in model form.
