Preserved Brush Type 2 Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel locomotive 31438 at North Weald Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
31438 was built by Brush at the Falcon Works Loughborough and entered service as British Railways D5557 on October 15th 1959 with withdrawal as British Rail 31438 in September 1995.
'A1A-A1A' means there are two bogies under the locomotive. Each bogie has two powered axles and one freewheeling axle. In A1A bogies the idle axle is alway the centre axle connected wheels.
Not to be confused with the similar looking 6 wheeled Co-Co bogies which all the axles are driven.
Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth spotting these at Chelmsford station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the late 1970s.

Note the narrow platform 2 at Colchester. I've always said that this platform is particularly dangerous especially with fast down through trains.

HTI haven't used their new found dominance of the budget end of the market here in the U.K. very wisely. They seem to have virtually abandoned any pretensions of producing anything remotely realistic or accurate which might be of interest to the collector or average child, instead its unsightly generics which fill the pegs and not even their small range of licensed 1/64 stuff gets much of a look in these days! Back in 2016 you could find them as singles in both Wilkinsons and Sainsbury's but by the end of the year they were gone gone gone! This white Mercedes-Benz C-Class was part of the last batch my local Sainsbury's had in and was being sold off for less than half the price of a basic HW and for that you got a fully approved Benz product which looks amazingly clean in this all white colour with correspondingly high levels of intricate detailing. Mint and boxed.
