The DCC sound is superb on that model - presume the sound is a Class 66 chip? I saw some videos of the real 201s today and thought one would look good in EWS or DBS red livery.
@HillsideModelRailway it does look good.i think i may have to get one.but i have my eye on a limited addition hornby class 31 in fragonset livery.have you seen my latest update yet?
@eamonnredmond Hi Eamonn, No problem at all, I just did as you suggested. I cut off the standard Murphy speaker and put in the SWD chip with its own speaker. The SWD speaker is encased in a little oblong box and fits in perfectly. I have been very impressed with the sound, it's much better than I thought it would be. I have been in talks with Mr Branston and he likes the idea of his coaches coming over here so don't be too hasty in buying other rolling stock :)
@mccarronfamily I feel guilty about sending you links to my video's, when I know that you are working hard in your garage getting all the boards lined up and the electric's sorted out :) ...... But you did ask me once if I had any Irish loco's!!
Nice one mate, I do like the formation of that train. As a later investment, have a look for the matching DVT which is 82126 as that would look sweet at the rear of the train. Great video and I really enjoyed this. This is going into my favourites.
@HillsideModelRailway: Sam, there is no rush to get the DVT mate. If you want to get the DVT seperately, I would recommend having a word with "TrainsOnTime" as they are based in Paisley and they often split up train sets and train packs. So he might be able to do you a good deal on the DVT and he takes PayPal as well.
@howarth004 Thanks Dave, Its fitted with a class 66 sound chip. I think it has the same engine as a 66 but its power is restricted for the shorter distances in Ireland (I think)
you've got alot of trains there so cool

so you decided to get it in the end then.ive got to say it looks and sounds awsome.
a little bit of weathering and it will certainly be one of the top locos to buy.
a very good video once again sam and an inspiration to us all!!!

@bloodmarine77 Hi Terry, I had to sell off a few on Ebay but I think it was worth it, as you say it is a lovely model.

Sam ,did you have any problems instaling the 66 decoder into the Irish 201?.
The Class 66 and the the 201 class are very similar,only the the 201 has a top
speed of 100 mph and the 66 has a top speed of 75 mph.The next batch of 201
models are due early next year with the orignal as delivered to IE livery sure to
be a big seller.As far as I know the NIR blue and original Enterprise livery will
be done as well.You can buy resprayed Hornby Mk3 coaches and brass overlays
for EGV.
