D5531 was nearly a Hornby 31 conversion (as I had about three of those, at the time), but the Airfix model came under the knife as it was the 31 with the best motor at the time.
The same back-filling method as D5031 with the head-code boxes was used, and I decided to do some weathering this time (although it does look more fire-damaged than dirty).
On D5531, I also failed miserably to re-locate the tail-light's but it has gained head-code discs (good things, hole punches !)
Traction weight has been increased (surprise, surprise !) and is just lighter than D5031 at 450g !
