Overhauling last built 31327

The locomotive Class 31/1 No. D5862, Tops No.31327 was withdrawn from service sometime in 1996, and later offered for sale by EWSR after privatisation of the UK rail industry. The locomotive was purchased by its current owner, George Littlejohn, from EWS in autumn 2001. 31327 then had an eventful journey to the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway, as leaving Upperby yard the Heanor Heavy Haulage trailer suffered a brake failure – blocking the road in the middle of rush hour! The locomotive successfully moved the following day, arriving at Bo’ness in late October 2001.

Much work was done on the locomotive over the winter of 2001, at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway including repair to smashed windows after vandalism at Upperby yard. The English Electric engine was overhauled starting in May 2002, along with replacing batteries, The locomotive was then moved to the new Bo'ness diesel shed where the engine was overhauled by the srps diesel group and then shunted out into the railway yard for its first ever start up.Please check out my other 31327 videos :-
