Class 31 - Railfreight Distribution - 31160 - DCC Sound FittedBy the launch of the iconic Roundel designed Railfreight scheme in October 1987 around 30 Class 31s were allocated to the FGWC pool at Tinsley for Speedlink wagonload services. However with the fleet only recently refurbished at Doncaster Works and Railfreight Distribution looking to standardise on Class 37 and 47 motive power there was no hurry to repaint them in its new image.

By the launch of the iconic Roundel-designed Railfreight scheme in October 1987 around 30 Class 31s were allocated to the FGWC pool at Tinsley for Speedlink wagonload services. However with the fleet only recently refurbished at Doncaster Works and Railfreight Distribution looking to standardise on Class 37 and 47 motive power there was no hurry to repaint them in its new image. However, following serious fire damage to 31160 the South Yorkshire depot resurrected and outshopped the Brush machine in November 1989 with a full repaint in the new image with RfD markings making it instantly unique. Typically for Tinsley the makeover was wildly different to any of the other Railfreight repaints that were undertaken around the same time for the Coal, Construction and Petroleum sectors, including large TOPS numbers, a distinctive style of black window surrounds and the location of the body break line between the two shades of grey. This was all finished off with red bufferbeams. Its one-off appearance was compounded just a few days later when the former D5578 was given the unofficial but very appropriate name Phoenix painted over the squadron symbol with a painted representation of the mythical bird surrounded by flames. Sadly within a year Tinsley’s Class 31 fleet had been transferred away and 31160 was stripped back to its basic triple grey scheme for a new life in the Crewe Diesel departmental pool. It was eventually stored unserviceable in March 1996 and was scrapped at Wigan CRDC in June 1999.

Great watch, Art Of Horology was a pleasure to deal with
Color: Anthracite on Stainless Steel
What a great watch! There are so many choices out there (even when you filter out a large portion of those you are clearly not interested in :-). Know what you like, use discipline with your cash, be logical, but then even after all that, you will eventually just have to let the right brain kick in and choose based on creativity and intuition. I needed a watch, and wanted a decent one, that looked good. This does all of that in style. It's not too big, its fairly waterproof, easy to read with clean lines. I wanted lume... The textured face has an interesting effect, like looking out a window at late dusk. Don't buy too many things, but when you do be wise. Even the Dalai Lama likes good watches.

Reloj elegante!
Color: Anthracite on Stainless Steel
El reloj es bello, tal como se ve en la foto. Podría mejorar si tuviera mayor reserva de marcha, pero si lo usas todos los días a la misma hora, no tienes que darle cuerda o ponerlo en hora.

This is a fantastic watch!
Color: Silver - Stainless Steel
This is a fantastic watch! I have about a 6.25 inch wrist and the 42mm version fits perfectly. I had actually purchased the 38mm version and had to return in because it was too small. The dial is amazing and the beauty of the watch is its simplicity. Its face is uncluttered but has the main features that I need, time, day and date. Plus, the automatic movement is quite accurate and smooth. Overall, I would recommend this watch to anyone who wants a clear and uncluttered watch that is very easy to read!
