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.

MODEL SPECIFICATION:

  • Die-cast metal chassis, with ABS plastic body. Weight (without decoder) 406g.
  • Centrally mounted, twin flywheel 5-pole motor, driving both sets of axles, with all-wheel pickup.
  • Helical gear box for maximum performance and slow speed running.
  • Gearing arranged so locomotive can achieve a scale maximum top speed of 80 mph (128.75 km/h), with a load of 1.1kg
  • Supplied as DCC Sound Ready, or DCC Sound fitted.
  • Scale length of 180.71mm over buffers.
