Tras un programa de renovación de estaciones, la mejora de la gestión de billetes y la introducción de nuevas locomotoras de maniobras y equipos de vía, en 1969 los Ferrocarriles de Irlanda del Norte, aún en sus inicios, se propusieron mejorar el servicio «Enterprise» Dublín-Belfast, sustituyendo los vagones diésel existentes por un servicio remolcado por locomotora. Con el objetivo de reducir el tiempo del trayecto de 180 km a tan solo dos horas, las locomotoras NIR Clase 101 (DL) se diseñaron para circular en configuración de empuje/tracción, con un tren de 8 vagones de material rodante BR Mk.2b de 270 toneladas, a una velocidad máxima de 128 km/h.

As usual from Accurascale, this is an excellent loco. My layout is firmly set in England but "Rule 1" very much applies here so it can run alongside my BR stock, the Blue NIR livery with yellow panels doesn't look too out of place. The model runs very smoothly and the sound is fantastic, rather like a BR Class 20 as the Hunslets were fitted with a very similar engine.
My model arrived with a loose battery box and one of the bogie handbrake chains was detached, but these were easy to fix. I thought that the high-level vacuum pipe was missing from the #1 end, but from reading the comprehensive booklet supplied, the prototype was only fitted at the #2 end so the model is indeed correct. All in all another great Accurascale loco for my collection
This is the third of these models that I've bought. Same high quality of production and operation as with the Merlin and Eagle models. I also have a similar set of models from Silver Fox, bought a few years ago. Those run very well, but are not of the same standard of production as these. With their own sound card and iPhone speakers they sound really good, so I have engines to spare! Thanks to Accurascale for this excellent set. I hope they get around to making some LMS/NIR steam models.
What a superb model full light package runs superbly and the sound is superb! accurascale have done it again!
Probably the best on the market, superb in every way
This model is just so good. The weight, the finish and the smooth and very quiet running make it special. The sound is so clear. Really glad to have bought this Hunslet.
As a non-DCC operator I've been reluctant to fork our for sound-fitted models as my early experience was less than impressive. I ordered this as a birthday present (for myself, obviously) after watching (and hearing!) a video of the sound-fitted model. Comparison with an early Bachmann 20, well there is none. The sound is louder with much more variety and that "spluttering" you only really get with an 8 cylinder English Electric K series at full chat. At the moment, there is only one other model type in my collection to match it. But that's another story...
Fanstatic model with great sound
A superbly detailed locomotive with realistic and impressive sound features.
I was unsure whether to buy this loco as I’m not really into Northern Ireland railways however I’m glad I did as it is worthy addition to my layout. The sound is superb as is the detailing and paintwork on the loco. I am very pleased with my purchase
This is an absolute stunner! I have never owned any Irish models but this one is stunning!
Another superb Irish locomotive from IRM
Could not wait to open the box what a beauty and the sound was awsome. Under further inspection a lower headlight cover is missing on the inside right . Also their is no prepinted name Falcon on the loco.
Brilliant model paint livery finish is outstanding various parts to fit just waiting for NIR Mk2 coaches which are in production. Saw Falcon in Adelaide yard in 1997 when it was carrying out shunting duties.
Absolutely delighted with this model,sound is fantastic
