    Hi All,

    firstly I’d like to say that this is my first thread so please forgive me if it’s not a applicable topic or it’s in the wrong forum.

    I’m currently writing a full list of surviving Class 31 Locomotives with as many details as I can get via questions and research. My last part is trying to research the owners/Operators of these locomotives. the only class 31’s I can’t find the owners of are below

    • 31119 & D5600 (Both at Embsay & Bolton
    Railway)
    • 31270- Usually based at Peak Rail but I think
    she’s currently undergoing work at Nemesis
    Rail in Burton
    • 31454- Now moved to Nemesis Rail from
    Shires Group in Kinsley


    All Help, Answers, Assistance, Sources and responses are very immensely appreciated
