Not sure about buying a Brush 4 despite the fact that they're a Leicestershire loco (don't know how many were actually built in Loughborough, Leics., as opposed to BR's own workshops) but I do have a 'soft spot' for the 31s - for many years they were a typical local-line sight on Birmingham-Norwich passenger trains as well as ballast trains from the Leics. quarries and also the evening mail trains 'adopted' some of the 31/4s when those Birmingham/Norwich workings went over to 158s
