They sound more like 121's, though:

 

A completely different design of loco to the 071s apart from the cab ends!

As Mogul notes they have a 1870hp 16cyl engine rather that the 12cyl in to 071

The "Retales" appear to have an  567CR non-turbo engines which explains why they appear to sound like the 121.

Max speed 74.4mph less powerful than on 071 Approx 13 tons heavier with a similar traffic effort which would have made a Retales more suitable for heavy freight work & less prone to slipping than an 071

Basically EMD used standard

Class 319, Subseries 2, numbers 201 to 220, known affectionately as "Retales". Retales has two meanings; "patchwork" and "scrap metal". The 319's were built using a patchwork of  071 style bits from GM, and the scrap metal / remains of the original Class 319's.

The original 319's had a single cab, about two thirds of the way along the body. Great performers but were terrible for rust, so instead of being completely scrapped, they were torn apart and rebuilt in the Subseries 2 locos.

I think that most of them were sold and exported to Argentina, but there are still a few skulking around:

 

 

Don't worry, @Mayner, I forgive you for missing that - reading is hard.

I'm sure they bought it themselves using another profile in order to inflate prices, there has to be some con going on there.

I suspect so too in the case as this seller listed this same loco for the same price the week before and it failed to sell. Maybe creating a false floor in value as you can do when so few are offered for sale. I just think it's a bit weird this one.

Lol those are two of the fert packs I offered here first. I dropped the starting price by a tenner to try to get the ball rolling but someone might be lucky and nab them for that. There is no reserve beyond the starting price. If they don't sell at that I'll be putting the whole rake back into storage until the current IRM run is long sold out and I'll try again. I'm not under pressure to sell I just wanted to part with duplicate stuff I bought in haste before I knew I could reckon with regular reruns from the IRM lads.

John Paul strikes again.

Great mark-up on these few:

Class 166 repaint:

IE livery 201:

Steam set:

And sure why bother buying a British one for €70 when you can get two Irish ones, each going for four times the price?

One guy with a handful of Irish buses. Would love that yellow and blue 17, but it's twice the price it should be!

Could have a loco instead of some of those!

Funding source for more trains.. Paid for my Ferts by selling a few Dublin buses at multiples of what I bought them for originally..
