Description
British Railways Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel-electric locomotive number 31108 (originally built as D5526) was constructed in 1959 by Brush Traction at the Falcon Works. This 104-tonne Type 2 mainline workhorse is powered by a re-engined English Electric 12SVT 12-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine generating 1,470 brake horsepower. Utilizing a Brush DC electrical transmission system driving four traction motors, it is geared for a maximum speed of 90 mph and delivers a starting tractive effort of 42,000 lbf. This preserved favorite is turned out in its authentic BR Railfreight Grey livery with full yellow ends.

The locomotive is seen here in 8K 16:9 widescreen growling out of Keighley Station while performing shunting maneuvers during the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Summer Diesel Gala. It is captured preparing to couple to its newly restored sister engine, number 31210, to double-head a special passenger service on Saturday 20/06/2026 at 17:09.
