The revised body moulding introduced in this quarter's releases allows Vi Trains to turn the clock back and represent that most ubiquitous of colour schemes during the 1970s and 1980s - corporate BR blue. No. 37131 is issued in overall rail blue with yellow nose ends and, during this period, saw use on both the Eastern and Western regions hauling virtually every type of train. This makes it a useful addition to any 'blue era' collection.
