@jmsschooner - no, it's because it's by Lima. To their credit, Lima tried to market to as many countries as possible by making trains from those countries (Australian outline modelling would not be where it is today without Lima), but they haven't moved forward from the toy train paradigm with their loco mechanisms. Here's hoping that future Lima models from Hornby will be better.
Very impressive, I spotted Lima NIR mk2 coaches on ebay it would match your NIR class 201 very nicely! no bids yet but it starting off at £100, just shows how valuable your collection is congrats and keep em safe! :D
Wow! All three of the class 201 models in different liveries; that's very lucky! :) That 201's incredibly fast too; from what i heard I didn't think the motor would allow it but I was wrong :) Thank you for sharing; I've seen many British Model trains but it's great to see irish ones in action too! :D
Fantastic. The scenery is great, particularly the old street with some houses boarded up and another under renovation. It's got great detail. The railway itself is top class, some great rolling stock.

Pity about the unrealistic very high speeds, however some parts of the landscape were excellent
