Detailed Description
Detailed Description
Having undertaken a programme of station refurbishment, improved its ticketing arrangements and introduced new on-track plant and shunting locomotives, in 1969 the still embryonic Northern Ireland Railways set out to improve the Dublin-Belfast ‘Enterprise’ service, by replacing the existing diesel railcar sets with a locomotive hauled service. Intended to reduce the time for the 180 km journey to just two hours, the NIR Class 101 (DL) locomotives were designed to run in a push/pull configuration, with a 270 ton 8-car set of BR Mk.2b stock, at a maximum speed of 80mph.

Another lovely Hunslet with sound, well done Accurascale.
My 3rd Hunslet and I‘m still excited to look at them; so much detail and a true masterpiece🙂
This is the lasted addition to collection. Out of box runs perfectly. Fantastic detail on model. Went with dcc sound version and clear sound as you would expect with ESU decoder. If modelling this era i would recommend putting it on the list.
A beautiful detailed model and nice sound. Looks great with some wagons behind it.

One word sums up this Hunslet model - outstanding. It is without doubt the best OO NIR model I have seen. It runs so quietly and the sound quality is excellent. Glad I have a few more on order.
