Locomotive manufacturers were invited to produce pilot designs, which could trialed with the hope that this would lead to fleet size orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and built by the Loughborough based Brush Traction, the early examples were delivered to London’s Stratford depot for use on the former Great Eastern lines with the prototype D5500, the first of a batch of twenty being delivered in October 1957. The whole of the pilot batch of Class 31s entered traffic during the years of 1957 to 1959 with the vast majority going to the East Anglian Sheds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe British Transport Commission were so impressed that orders were placed allowing for the Class to go into full production with orders amounting for a total of 263 with the full production being completed by 1962. The Class 31 locomotives were fitted with a standard electro-pneumatic control associated with the Blue Star multiple working system. Between 1965 and 1969 the entire Class was re-engined with English Electric power units, which was after serious problems were experienced with the original Mirrlees power units.  The first of the Class to be re-engined was D5677, a locomotive that was later re-numbered under the TOPS classification system as 31249, with the last locomotive receiving a new engine being D5500, which is now part of the National Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the Class numbers grew so their field of operation increased and they soon could found working on the majority of the BR network heading up both passenger and freight trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the years of 1973 and 1985, sixty eight of the Class were fitted with electric train heating and all ‘31s’ that were still in traffic in 1988 were fitted with dual train brakes, both air and vacuum.  From 1983 a life extension programme was undertaken involving the removal of the body side bands and skirts together with redundant steam heating equipment.  Any of the Class that was not included in this programme of changes was listed for early withdrawal, however the last of these designated locomotives continued in service until 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD5809, later to be renumbered as 31452 on the 10 October 1984 from being 31279, first went to traffic on the 27 July 1961.  Currently, at the time of writing locomotive No. 31452 is part of the Hanson Traction group of locomotives and is allocated to Marcroft Engineering Stoke Depot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable rolling stock: General freight stock of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30563893477423,"sku":"R3262","price":129.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/products\/r3262_2.jpg?v=1591874247"},{"product_id":"r3880-hornby-class-31-a1a-a1a-31147-floreat-salopia","title":"R3880 Hornby Class 31, A1A-A1A, 31147 'Floreat Salopia'","description":"\u003cp\u003eR3880 Hornby Class 31, A1A-A1A, 31147 'Floreat Salopia'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896749240367,"sku":"R3880","price":143.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/products\/r3880_br-a1a-a1a-class-31_1.jpg?v=1653054919"},{"product_id":"r30009-hornby-london-carriers-international-sentinel-0-4-0-jean","title":"R30009 Hornby London Carriers International, Sentinel, 0-4-0, 'Jean'","description":"\u003cp\u003eR30009 Hornby London Carriers International, Sentinel, 0-4-0, 'Jean'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896772014127,"sku":"R30009","price":108.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/products\/r30009_1_london-carrier-sentinel.jpg?v=1653055367"},{"product_id":"r30025-hornby-class-60-co-co-60095","title":"R30025 Hornby Class 60, Co-Co, 60095","description":"\u003cp\u003eR30025 Hornby Class 60, Co-Co, 60095\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896831291439,"sku":"R30025","price":171.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/products\/r30025_1_gbrf-class-60.jpg?v=1653056850"},{"product_id":"r30027-hornby-cappagh-class-60-co-co-60028","title":"R30027 Hornby Cappagh, Class 60, Co-Co, 60028","description":"\u003cp\u003eR30027 Hornby Cappagh, Class 60, Co-Co, 60028\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896841318447,"sku":"R30027","price":207.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/products\/r30027_1_cappagh-class-60.jpg?v=1653056993"},{"product_id":"r30026-hornby-gbrf-class-60-co-co-60026","title":"R30026 Hornby GBRF, Class 60, Co-Co, 60026","description":"\u003cp\u003eR30026 Hornby GBRF, Class 60, Co-Co, 60026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896852688943,"sku":"R30026","price":171.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/products\/r30026_1_gbrf-class-60-helvellyn.jpg?v=1653057310"},{"product_id":"r3884-hornby-class-60-60100-midland-railway-butterley-in-db-red","title":"R3884 Hornby Class 60 60100 'Midland Railway -

A total of 50 locomotives were built between 1872 and 1880. Initially, the class were designed to haul commuter trains on the heavily congested lines in South and South-East London, as well as operating through the Marc Isambard Brunel designed Thames Tunnel. The LB\u0026amp;SCR later introduced larger and more capable D Class locomotives which began being used for most of the company's commuter trains. Nonetheless, the reliability of the A1 class was such that most were put to other work or sold on to other railways rather than being scrapped. Between 1911 and 1913 twelve of the A1s that had remined at the LB\u0026amp;SCR were rebuilt with new boilers and extended smoke boxes to become the A1X class along with a further four after the first world war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy 1923, at the formation of Southern Railway, 15 locomotives had remained in LB\u0026amp;SCR ownership, and these along with another 9 locomotives which had been sold to other railways in the region fell into Southern Railway ownership. Weight restrictions on many of the light railways inherited by the Southern Railway necessitated that the light A1 class locomotives remain in service despite their old age. One A1 locomotive and 14 A1X locomotives remained in service long enough to enter into British Railway stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMost of these remained in the Southern Region, although one remained in the Western Region having previously found its way into GWR ownership after been sold to the Weston Clevedon \u0026amp; Portishead Railway which closed in 1940. The Class remined in service until many of the lines they operated on were eventually closed. The last of these was the line to Hayling Island which was scheduled for closure in November 1963. With the impending closure of the line, BR decided to withdraw the class from service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the time of her withdrawal, No. 32636 was the oldest working steam engine in British Railways ownership. The final operational A1X with BR was No. 32678, which remained in service until August 1963.The engines were famously known as 'Terriers' due to the distinctive 'bark' of their exhaust beat.Built in 1872, this locomotive spent much of the first 30 years of its life working the suburban London lines as L\u0026amp;BSCR No. 70. When the L\u0026amp;BSCR decided to reduce its numbers of 'Terrier' locomotives, No. 70 was sold to the Rother Valley Railway (later the Kent \u0026amp; East Sussex Railway) in May 1901.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow painted blue and numbered No. 3 'Bodiam', the locomotive was temporarily withdrawn from service in 1931, but returned to the line in 1933.

Almost as soon as the firm's 44\/48HP 0-4-0 locomotives were making an appearance, an upgraded, more powerful 0-4-0 was on the drawing board. Although many of the features of the 44\/48HP were retained for the new 80\/88HP, such as the chain drive and running gear, a new type of transmission was fitted, along with Westinghouse airbrakes. The new power unit, Ruston's own 4VPB, delivered 80BHP at 1000rpm and was later supplanted by Ruston's improved 4VPH that delivered 88BHP, but it required compressed air to be injected into the cylinders to be able to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile running, an air reservoir was kept charged via the braking system, but after standing idle for a period the reservoir depleted and a secondary source was required to recharge the reservoir. This was achieved by fitting a small, secondary 1½HP 'donkey' engine, giving rise to a distinctive raised cover on the right hand side of the engine compartment that differed in size and placement depending on the make of engine used. Two basic weight options were offered for the 80\/88HP, of 17 tons and 20 tons, the difference being achieved by attaching weights to the outside frames, as well as to the front and rear buffer beams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1941, Ruston's locomotive classifications were changed, with the 80\/88HP becoming 88DS (with the narrow gauge versions being assigned the DSM and DSN suffix, and the broader gauges assigned DSW). Outward appearance changes to the 'standard' locomotives were mainly confined to the cab area, with examples from mid-1947 replacing the open cab with a fully enclosed cab that featured several ad-hoc styles of front window.
