The classic Class 31 diesel locomotive powered British Railways' efforts to replace steam with versatile Type 2 diesels. Brush Traction built these 1957 development models with Mirrlees engines for mixed traffic on the Eastern Region, reaching 80mph. Production expanded to 243 more units by 1962, later upgraded with reliable English Electric engines in 1964 for service across Western and London Midland regions.

The classic Class 31 diesel locomotive was a versatile workhorse of the British railway network, and now this Brush Type 2 is available for Train Simulator in Regional Railways livery.
British Railways’ ‘Pilot Scheme’ to replace steam traction saw 20 Type 2 diesel locomotives built by Brush Traction in 1957. These development locomotives were fitted with Mirrlees engines and had a top speed of 80mph, designed for mixed traffic workings on the Eastern Region. Midway through production, BR decided to extend the fleet, ordering a further 243 locomotives that entered service by the end of 1962.
The main production locomotives were adapted slightly from their predecessors and underwent a programme of re-engineering in 1964 to replace the unreliable Mirrlees engines with higher rated, more powerful English Electric engines. The Class also made its way into other regions of the railway network, becoming a popular sight on both the Western and London Midland regions.
