New O gauge models of refurbished Class 31s for release in 2025 have been unveiled.
Following the success of the refurbished Class 31s a couple of years ago, a new batch of models is in preparation to keep up with demand for the most popular liveries. In response to requests from O gauge modellers, the new batch includes an unnumbered Class 31/1 in Railfreight large logo grey, a Railfreight Coal Sector Class 31/1 for nuclear traffic, the ever-popular BR Blue Class 31/4 and a ‘Dutch’ grey/yellow Class 31/5.
Also featured in this new run of models is an exclusive special edition for Tower Models depicting 31327 Philips-Imperial in Thornaby depot’s unique interpretation of mid-1980s Railfreight Red Stripe livery.
All liveries have been produced in limited quantities and are available to order from Heljan stockists at £499.00 each and are expected to arrive in autumn 2025.
