Bio
31120 was built by Brush Traction in 1959, and originally carried the number 5538. He/she was later present to take Gordon's passengers at Barrow-in-Furness, after his/her fiery experience when a puncture dampened Gordon's fire and narrowly avoided overheating. 31120 was later retired from service in August 1991, and scrapped the following year.

Basis
31120 is based on a BR Class 31, hence his/her number. D701 is another member of this class. Around 26 locomotives had been purchased and preserved for use on many heritage railways around the UK.
