Class 31 - 31418 BR Blue - DCC Sound31418 BR Blue Between 1971 and 1975, 24 Class 31s were upgraded with electric train heating capability (ETH) courtesy of a 320kW Brush BL100 30 alternator, the same as fitted to the similarly modified Class 45 1 Peaks and Class 47 4s. Powered directly from the engine, this provided an impressive ETH index rating of 66, perfect for their expected duties shuttling empty coaching stock (ECS) in and out of Kings Cross, Paddington and St. Pancras as well

31418 BR Blue
Between 1971 and 1975, 24 Class 31s were upgraded with electric train heating capability (ETH) courtesy of a 320kW Brush BL100-30 alternator, the same as fitted to the similarly modified Class 45/1 ‘Peaks’ and Class 47/4s. Powered directly from the engine, this provided an impressive ETH index rating of 66, perfect for their expected duties shuttling empty coaching stock (ECS) in and out of King’s Cross, Paddington and St. Pancras as well as portions of ‘air-con’ trains around the Leeds/Doncaster area. An oddity within the new sub class was 31418, the former D5522 of 30A, which was from the lower geared 80mph batch delivered in 1959 and also the only disc headcode or ‘skinhead’ machine to be converted until a second series of Class 31/4s was undertaken in the mid 1980s. In 1978, having swapped North London for Gateshead via a spell at Finsbury Park, it saw its connecting doors plated over, which resulted in the loss of its centre pair of discs. It retained this basic appearance for the next nine years before being ‘refurbished’ at Doncaster in October 1987, which saw it lose its steam generator, bufferbeam cowls and bodyside banding. The ETH receptacle was also resited to the driver’s side corner of the cab front. Within days of release it was unofficially named Boadicea and received white painted ‘discs’ the following year, both customisations surviving to its withdrawal from Springs Branch with engine failure in October 1995. With minor celebrity status it was quickly purchased for preservation at the Great Central Railway, before joining A1A Locomotive Ltd’s fleet in 2002. Over the last two decades it has been slowly restored to 1970-80s condition at the group’s base at Swanwick Junction and is expected to be completed within the next few years.

Size: Queen Comforter, Color: Grey Comforter, Size: Queen Comforter, Color: Grey Comforter
The only issue i have is when i got the comforter out of the packaging and unfolded it, unfortunately there was a hole in it. Besides that, the comforter is great. Way better than the one i had on before. Will prolly purchase another one soon.

Most Comfortable blanket!
Color: White, Size: Queen(90"*90")
Silky smooth and soft. The smooth side is cooler and good for summer nights while the patterned side provides a little more warmth for cold nights. Have not needed anything else. Works great for me - hot sleeper in Florida with AC at 73 and ceiling fan on. Might have to kick a leg out in the middle of the night or find part of the blanket that is not heated from my body and then I can stay cool. If the AC is turned down just one degree to 72, I stay cool throughout the whole night and sometimes cold. Blanket would probably be too warm at any household temperatures above 74 unless it was FL winter or a colder climate. Nevertheless, it is so comfortable on the skin and easy to move around in.

The softest summer blanket ever!
I bought this wonderful & underestimated king size blanket on Amazon from SnuggleSac. I got it because of the reviews & the company was rated very well. It came faster than I thought. I got the arctic blue color & it is beautiful. I have a queen size bed but love oversized blankets. I’m so happy I did. I have really bad neuropathy in my hands & especially my feet from an allergic life threatening reaction to the flu shot. If I forget my meds, have a busy day my feet & or with my hands-which I have been, they are on fire with shards of glass feeling. I get sweaty (dang hot flashes) easily too so I have to be really careful on how soft a blanket is. It is summer in Ga & the only blanket so far that did not cause so much excruciating pain was my heavy winter cuddle duds that I got from kohls that they don’t carry anymore, it is way too way to hot for summer also & just sheets no matter how soft they are like rubbing sandpaper on my feet. This blanket is THE softest I have ever felt, that was lightweight but heavier than a sheet or two sewn together, is very cool to the touch, didn’t cause me pain from having it on-even on bad days, there was no smell, the quality is so far top notch-only used it for 3 days now & what I was worried was the reverse side being harder or too rough to reverse it but was so happy both sides are equally soft. Both my daughter (who wanted to take it) & my husband want both one now. My dog has his own pillows that he always slept on my bed & now he sleeps on the blanket. Even he loves it! I just pray it holds up for a long time to come & I will update if there is any change! Definitely recommend this blanket! Love it! Thank you so much SnuggleSac
