While perusing the new Heljan ‘O’ gauge Class 31 (see page 96), my mind wandered off to happy childhood memories of the hourly Liverpool to Sheffield/Hull expresses thrashing past the edge of my school’s football field. The ‘31s’ became something of a personal favourite, with a good chunk of the ‘31/4’ sub-class underlined in my 1989 Abc. The ‘31s’ were seen on plenty of freight duties around Warrington too, so a ‘Goyle’ in original Railfreight grey also conjures up a feeling of nostalgia.
