Detaljeret beskrivelse

Efter at have gennemført et program med stationsrenovering, forbedret billetarrangementer og introduceret nye on-track anlæg og rangerlokomotiver, satte Northern Ireland Railways i 1969 sig for at forbedre Dublin-Belfast 'Enterprise'-tjenesten ved at erstatte de eksisterende dieselvogne med et servicevognsæt. NIR Class 101 (DL) lokomotiverne var beregnet til at reducere tiden for den 180 km lange rejse til kun to timer, og de blev designet til at køre i en push/pull-konfiguration med et 270 tons 8-vogns sæt af BR Mk.2b materiel, med en maksimal hastighed på 80 mph.

Wow!

Wonderful, museum-quality model. Has previously bought DC 102 in red arc, small logo blue and was sufficiently impressed to decide to get a DCC 102 in red chevron large logo blue, so as to have the ultimate model of a variant I had photographed (derelict) and scratchbuilt in the early 1990s. I was well pleased to discover that on my DC layout, having swapped my Clipper controllers for a Gaugemaster D, I got a good range of truly outstanding engine sounds, so I won't have to wait for club nights to run on a DCC track to hear the Hunslet in full cry! Outstanding detail packs, with some variation between locos. Great presentation including an insightful, affectionate and fulsomely-illustrated class history brochure. The blue is a little strong even for 'ex-works' and I reckon the white outlines seen in some pics (and on most IRM blue versions) are likely just faded edges showing the white-ish undercoat below red arcs and chevrons, so I'm glad this model has a plain chevron. Lots of detail that I could easily live without for the sake of robustness and cheapness, but I feel privileged to own one...well two, now!

NIR Hunslet DCC

Just purchased the NIR Hunslet with DCC Sound. I must say this model is absolutely amazing. The sounds are phenomenal. Definitely recommend to all.

Top spec for Northern Ireland!

I am fortunate to own the IRM A class locomotive so I am pleased to report this Falcon is as good as the A class.
I can't quite believe that IRM have been able to deliver this small class to market and it's not a dream !.I can pick it up ,poke it but you don't need to prod it as it's equipped with a decent heavy chassis offering reliable performance complete with a lighting and sound package that's as good as anything else on the market .
I am indeed very grateful that IRM continue to cater for the Irish enthusiast.
Looking forward to other exciting projects.

Another excellent detailed model from Accurascale, sound is A1 but the shade of Blue is a little stronger/darker than I remember it 🤗 well done Accurascale
