Class 31, 31233
Preserved Brush Type 2 Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel locomotive 31233 stabled at the heritage Mangapps Railway Museum near Burnham on Crouch in the County of Essex (UK).
31233 was built at Brush Traction Ltd. Loughborough and entered service as British Railways Type 2 D5660 in October 1960.
31233 was withdrawn from service by Network Rail in April 2017 and was purchased for preservation by Mangapps Railway Museum Proprietor Mr John Jolly along with fellow yellow 31105 in October 2018.
Both 31233 and 31105 were the last Class 31 locomotives in operation for Network Rail.
Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth on these not too far from here at Chelmsford station in the late 1970s.
