I have question I hope some one can help me with. This is to do with the waistline ribbing/beading on the class 31. This ribbing was removed during reburbishment (or were some built without it).
Hornby have produced models both with and without. I know 31111 has them (correctly) as does 31174 (correctly) and 31270 has none (incorrectly).
These photos on the Hattons site show what I mean

and 31270

However is it only 31/4s that should have no ribbing/beading or was their removal more general?
For instance 31110 in Dutch livery does not appear to have any but it could have been removed at this stage?
Any help appreciated.
