Descripción detallada
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.

Great running and sounding loco
Looks great and runs well. The sound is amazing, well packed. Many thanks
Blown away by the hunslet, from the shape, livery and fantastic sound, if not the best yet it's definitely not far behind.
Not a review but a suggestion
We organise the ever expanding north down model show easily the biggest show in Ireland and attend all shows and producing a Northern Ireland thumper or Merlin in steam would eclipse the demand for eagle
This is a beauty! I've only just started to discover all its sound and lighting features, but it runs beautifully straight out of the box, sounds amazing, and the headlight effects are the most realistic I've seen for representing filament bulbs.
For the photos I had to pair it with a tatty NIR brake van, but I'm sure it will be more at home with a rake of Mk2s when they come later this year.
Really wanted one of these when they were announced but couldn't justify it at the full price, Rule 1 too far, but got 20% off on spin n win so snapped it up. Always wanted something foreign looking in 00 but also doesn't look out of place next to a maroon Class 52. Full usual Accurascale spec, desk and cab lights, a very real looking head light, looks like an actual bulb when lit, working fan, a completely invisible (i think) removable roof panel, lots of very fine detail. Super smooth runner out of the box and sounds incredible, this is probably one of their best diesel offerings so far, mightily impressed. If you are on the fence i rekon its worth grabbing it, even at full price
Solid, heavy, good looking and performing, the sound being in the 'you have to hear it to believe it' category. My third IRM Hunslet and the second DCC fitted, bought after discovering how well the latter (102 blue large logo) performed and sounded, even on DC. The roof grey is too pale even for ex-works and I've not seen a photo which shows the frontal 'revised yellow arc' with the white outline the original 'wedge' certainly carried (but is left off the preserved loco at Cultra); but these are minor gripes.
Northern Ireland Railway modellers have been amply rewarded with this series of superb model locomotives
Fabulous version of the Eagle Hunslet from Accurscale. It used to pass our house close to Donabate Station here in the 1970's and Accurscale have captured the look and sound perfectly. Especially the cold start sound brings back memories. Love that stuttered srat up of the engine. Love the extra detail.of fan moving on the roof! Well done Accurscale
Just as i remembered it, good weight and sound is excellent. I plan to spend many happy hours running this unit 🤗
